"Jyotirgamaya.."


Today is “Makar Sankranti”,The day on which the sun begins it journey northwards. Makara Sankranti is one of the largest, most auspicious, but varied festival in the Indian continent. Makara Sankranti is also to honour, worship and to pay respect to the world mother, Saraswati Maa. At the start of this significant event, there is also worship for the departed ancestors. The period is also considered an ideal time for aspirants to satisfy "the goals of life".
Makara Sankranti identifies a period of enlightenment, peace, prosperity and happiness following a period of darkness, ignorance and viciousness with immense sorrow.
