Happy Makar Sankranti

Makar Sankranti is one of the most important festivals of the Hindu calendar and celebrates the sun's journey into the northern hemisphere, a period which is considered to be highly auspicious. Makara means Capricorn Zodiac Sign and Sankranti means transition of the Sun from one zodiac sign to another. Thus Makar Sankranti is the day that marks the transition of the Sun into Makara rashi (Capricorn) on its celestial path.

There is a wide variation in the celebration of Makar Sankranti thoughout India, in particular the name.

Celebrations in different Indian regions

In Gujarat and Maharashtra, Makar Sankranti is a festival of the young and the old. Colourful kites are flown all around.

In Punjab, Makar Sankranti is called Lohri. December and January are the coldest months of the year in Punjab and huge bonfires are lit on the eve of Sankranti. Sweets, sugarcane and rice are thrown on the bonfires and friends and relatives gather together.

In Uttar Pradesh, this period is celebrated as Kicheri. It is considered important to have a bath on this day and masses of people can be seen bathing in the Sangam at Prayagraj where the rivers Ganga, Jamuna and Saraswathi flow together.

In Southern India it's the harvest festival Pongal and lasts for 3 days. On the first day, rice boiled with milk is offered to the Rain God. On the second day, it is offered to the the Sun God and on the third day, the family cattle are given a bath and dressed with flowers, bells and colours, to honour them for their hard work in the fields.

Om Shanti Divine Angels!!!

बाबा की महिमा : विदेही ऊँचे ते ऊँचा भगवान.. परमपिता परमात्मा शिव... बेहद के बाप... कालों के काल महाकाल... दुःख हर्ता सुख कर्ता... प्यार के सागर... अविनाशी सर्जन... सहारा देने वाला बाप है...

 

स्वमान : हम फ़रमानबरदार... वफ़ादार, सर्विसएबुल और बहुत मीठे... लाडले बच्चे... प्रजापिता ब्रह्माकुमार और कुमारियाँ...शक्ति दल, शिव शक्तियाँ... सुखधाम के मालिक... महान आत्माएँ... परमात्म भाग्यवान आत्माएँ... ऊँचे से ऊँची आत्मा आत्माएँ... हैं...

 

ज्ञान: बाप आये हैं पावन बनाने तो हम ख़ुशी से बाप को क्यों नहीं याद करेंगे जो हमारे विकर्म विनाश हो जायें| खुद याद करते होंगे तो दूसरों को भी कहने से तीर लगेगा | इसको विचार सागर मंथन कहा जाता है |

 

योग : राम सुमिर प्रभात मोरे मन.... सवेरे-सवेरे उठ प्यार से बाप को याद करना है | अपने आपसे बातें करनी है, विचार सागर मंथन करते बाबा का शुक्रिया मानना है | बाप को याद करते-करते पावन बन कर्मातीत हो अपने शान्तिधाम चले जायेंगे |

मनमनाभव, मध्याजी भव !पहले-पहले आत्मा का निश्चय चाहिए कि हम आत्मा अविनाशी हैं | बाप कहते हैं अशरीरी भव | फिर क्रिमिनल ख्यालात उठते ही क्यों हैं | मुझे याद करो तो पाप कट जायेंगे और याद की यात्रा पर रहने से कमाई जमा होगी | सिर्फ़ अपने को आत्मा समझ मामेकम् याद करो तो बेड़ा पार हो जायेगा |

 

धारणा : इस पुरुषोत्तम संगमयुग पर ही पुरुषोत्तम बनना है | लक्ष्मी-नारायण हैं एम आब्जेक्ट | आत्मा को कोई डर नहीं होना चाहिए | आत्म-अभिमानी बन आत्मा को ही पवित्र बनना है | सांवरे से गोरा बनना है | वफ़ादार, सर्विसएबुल और बहुत मीठे बनना है |

देह-अभिमान में आकर एक दो को तंग नहीं करना है, हर बात में राज़ी रहना है | कभी भी चुगली नहीं लगानी है, हसद, रीस नहीं करनी है | किसको दुःख नहीं देना है | आपस में बहुत मीठा, खीरखण्ड होकर रहना है |

जितना जो पढ़ते हैं, मैनर्स धारण करते हैं, ऐसा पद पाते हैं | अपना रजिस्टर आपेही देखना है कि हम कैसे चलते हैं | तुमको भी सबको सुख देना है | उल्टा सुल्टा कभी भी बोलना नहीं है | कभी भी लॉ अपने हाथ में नहीं उठाना है | तुम्हारा काम है रिपोर्ट करना | बहुत मीठा बनना है | जितना मीठा बनेंगे उतना बाप का शो करेंगे |

 

सेवा :बेहद की वैराग्य वृत्ति द्वारा इच्छाओं के वश परेशान आत्माओं की परेशानी दूर करो |

Daily Positive Thoughts: January 14, 2014: Happy Makar Sankranti- Think Big

Daily Positive Thoughts: January 14, 2014: Happy Makar Sankranti- Think Big

Happy Makar Sankranti

Think Big

Rise above little things. Be a big thinker. You are what you think. So just think big, believe big, act big, dream big, work big, give big, forgive big, laugh big, image big, love big, live big. Carry that list and you'll start feeling big. Be a believer and you'll be an achiever.

Creativity

True creativity is to bring newness at every act. Creativity doesn't
mean creating something new or just to do the same things again and
again in different ways. If we do that, since the seed did not change,
the result (the fruit) remains the same. So we need to understand and
creatively use all resources available to us. Whenever we seem to be
going round and round in circles, we need to check how creatively we are
using the resources that are available to us. We then need to make
extra effort to think of something that we have never tried before.

Reaching The Destination Of Peace On Time (cont.)

In yesterday's message, we had mentioned the main type of distractions that you might face in your journey to the destination of peace. The secret of not getting affected by each of these distractions is very simple - do not interact with any of them on a subtle level by giving them your mental energy of attention, but avoid them, detach yourself from them, just observe them and let them go, remaining completely focused on reaching your destination.

Imagine you are driving to your office on the highway and you are very late. There are a large number of different vehicles which you pass, either travelling in the same direction as you are or coming at you from the opposite side. You are even familiar with a lot of these people sitting inside these vehicles, because you see them every day, but you don't even spare a second to glance at them because if you did you would lose your focus and be delayed, you would fail to reach your destination, your office in this case, on time.

Meditation is exactly like this. Just as you cannot empty the highway full of vehicles, because you are in a hurry to reach office, you cannot empty the highway of your consciousness of all thoughts, emotions, beliefs, worries, opinions, desires, memories etc. some of which are even very familiar to you, just because you want to get to the destination of your inner peace.

Let all of these, like the vehicles, come and go, but all you have to do is avoid them and focus on reaching your destination on time. It's as if, by the way you are driving, your body language, in this case the subtle energy of your determined thought, word has spread through the highway of your consciousness that you will not be sparing a second to even glance at any one of these on your way.

If with a momentary loss of self-awareness, you do start giving attention to them, and you get lost in one of them, remind yourself subconsciously, "I am on my way back to the destination of peace, peace that I am." This will help you regain your focus and before you know it, you will realize you have arrived; you will experience your destination i.e. the peace within, and will completely believe that you are that. And it will be the most blissful experience that you have felt in a very long time.

Soul Sustenance

Important Understandings on Reincarnation (Part 3)

6. The world's population is increasing at such a rapid rate, indicating that the souls already here are taking rebirth and also that there are new ones coming down continuously from the soul world.

7. If one believed that one will receive the fruit of one's actions, if not in this birth, but in another one, a person would surely feel less inclined to perform negative actions.

8. Without reincarnation, it is impossible to explain how every soul has reached its present peaceless state. Thousands of sins have been performed by each soul in its past births under the influence of the five vices – lust, anger, greed, ego and attachment. Due to this, sanskars of those vices have accumulated over the soul. The burden of these sanskars weighs heavily on the soul and causes it unhappiness in the present. The present cycle of birth and rebirth is fast approaching its end. It is precisely at this time that the Supreme Soul can relieve us from this burden.

Message for the day

Cooperation brings easy success.

Expression: To work together is to allow the specialities of each and every individual to be contributed in the task to be done. There is an ability to appreciate others and their contribution. There is no ego of one's own specialities but a true and natural appreciation of everyone around. So there is success for the task and for the person too.

Experience: Whenever I am involved with others in doing something, the task is important in itself but when I understand the importance of cooperation I am able to recognise the specialities of each and every individual. I am able to have faith in the other person to make his own contribution and I give the space for him to do so.
