Celebrating Birthdays
Lord Buddha’s birthday is celebrated on “Buddh Purnima”, Guru Nanak’s is on Kartik Purnima, birthday of Lord Ram falls on Ramnaumi and that of Lord Krishn on Janamashtami. All these days fall on different dates each year as they follow the traditional lunar cycle, the astronomical calendar. Let us also re-adopt this tradition of celebrating our birthdays according to our “tithes” as per the lunar calendar, to coordinate with the universal formation and constellation as it was on the day we were born. The configuration of the constellation being the same on that day, our prayers then will help us form a real connection with the energies of that day and assit us to be centered.....
Birthdays in our grand culture are days of 'giving' and not taking (always expecting gifts make children self-centered)...Teach children to spread love by sharing what they have...Let us not 'cut' cakes but 'join' hearts...To spread light by lighting diyas not 'blowing out' candles!!
Let the day of our birth be a celebration of life in the true sense.
