Makar Sankranti: A Festival of Renewal, Harmony, and Positivity
In India’s rich cultural tradition, Makar Sankranti is celebrated as a joyful festival filled with hope and optimism. On this day, the Sun enters the zodiac sign of Capricorn (Makar), marking the beginning of Uttarayan. It symbolizes a journey from darkness to light, from despair to hope, and from the chill of winter towards warmth-bringing new energy not only to nature but also to human life.
Makar Sankranti is a festival of sweetening relationships. The popular saying “Tilgul ghya, goad goad bola” (Accept til-gul and speak sweetly) carries a deep message of maintaining love, harmony, and affection in life. The warmth of sesame seeds and the sweetness of jaggery remind us to stay understanding and kind even during challenging times.
The joy of flying kites, preparing festive delicacies, exchanging gifts, haldi-kumkum ceremonies, and meeting loved ones fills every home with happiness. Nature itself seems to invite us to make a fresh beginning. This is the perfect occasion to let go of old grudges, bitterness, and negative thoughts, and to embrace new resolutions with a positive mindset. On this auspicious day, let us all resolve to:
Always uphold truth, love, and positivity in life
Preserve sweetness and warmth in our relationships
Let the kites of knowledge, values, and humanity soar high in the sky.
May this Makar Sankranti bring health, happiness, success, and prosperity into your life.
Warm wishes for a Happy Makar Sankranti!
