Hi All,
Today is 14th of January. The first festival to celebrate with family and friends starts.
India is a country in which they are famous for their 🎊✨ cultures, festivals and traditions. As I am going to say about festivals. So, on 14th of January, most of the states celebrate "Makarashankranthi", Assam celebrate "Bihu", Punjab celebrate " Lohri", Gujarat celebrate "Utrayan" and at South side of India, Tamil Nadu celebrate "Pongal".
As I am from South, let me give you all few information on Pongal.
“Pongal means ‘to overflow.’ The time when humankind’s love for nature and nature’s love for humankind overflow—that is Pongal. Human beings make nature happy by having good thoughts and doing good actions. Nature blesses humankind with a bountiful harvest. When the universal mind and the individual mind overflow and become one—that is what Pongal is symbol of.
“Matru-devo bhava, Pitr-devo bhava, acharya-devo bhava atithi-devo bhava—‘May you see your mother as God, your father as God, your teacher as God, your guests as God’—this is what Sanatana Dharma teaches us. Respect everything, worship everything. Why? Because there is nothing other than God. May this Pongal Festival be an opportunity for you to instill this culture and God deeply within and spread it without."
