M A K A R - S A N K R A N T I

Sankranti Puja in Dhumal's house, 1986
 Today is a sad day for Me because we'll be now parting. I may not be able to meet you in Bombay. Maybe for a year this may not happen for some of you, and I would like to give you a little advice about the growth within yourself.
It is believed by people that God is helping us and we are in His kingdom. So whatever happens He looks after us. It is true but as you are the instrument of the God you have to also look after yourself.
For today's delay I would like to apologize but the delay comes because from Poona Mr.*** was to come and see us do this puja. ..[...Full video, click here]
 But today is a special day; is the day when the sun changes from the tropic of Capricorn, comes from the tropic of Capricorn, to the tropic of Cancer. And for us it is a summer. Not a very thing for us to have a summer here, and we call it a thing of transformation. But as a tropic of Cancer ... Cancer as you know is a sign of the Mother. So this is the day they celebrate suddenly coming out of the cold to the heat, they eat something , that is the sesame and the jaggery mixed together. And they tell people, "Eat this sweet and speak sweetly."
The reason is: when the heat comes up too much the mind can go off and one can become harsh. So they say now, "Eat this and speak sweetly." Now the hot thing, it's a hot thing to eat sesame and the jiggery but why it is given that is the end of it now. You have it and slowly come to normal. So it is given like that to show that now is the end of it, you take it and now you come to the end of it.
 And in the same way we today we are finishing off this tour. We have had tremendous, forceful, very fast, I should say absolutely telescopic programs. You have passed through all these programs in such a big way. Now, it has been too much, I know because the time was short. You see, we have to be that way in modern times.  And maybe you must have escaped lots of experiences because of the speed.
So now when you go back you must again sit down and in your pensive mood try to see all the beautiful things that you have seen and forget all the ugly things and all the funny ideas.- and enjoy whatever you have achieved as something enjoyable, as something knowledge.
somehow or other we all should have one huge country of our own
 Go back on it, see for yourself clearly and keep it in your memory.
 I'll be very happy if some people sit down and write diaries. All these things are beautiful you must have met beautiful people, you must have seen beautiful landscapes. Anything, as in Ganapatipule you have had some good experiences, should be written down.
And that will give you a better idea as to what we have gone through in this short time.
 And as it is today coming to an end, also our winter is over now - we never had it according to you - so we are now entering into real summer which I don't want you to face. So you'll be going back.
And today is a special day but this day being decided by the sun is a fixed day, is fourteenth, fourteenth of this month. So this is called as a Sankranti day. So it doesn't change, all other things can change because they depend on the moon but this is the, you can say, only solar festival we have."
