People in Kerala celebrate the Onam festival by taking an oil bath, wearing new clothes, worshiping Krishna and visiting temples. On Onam day, they cook many special dishes and all members of the family feast together and welcome Emperor Bali to bless them. Emperor Bali was a very noble king, a great and humble devotee. But there was an element of ego in him. The inner significance of Lord Vamana pushing Emperor Bali to the netherworld reveals Lord Vamana crushing Bali’s ego. Understand that God will never tolerate anger and ego. Why are we egoistic? Is it for physical beauty or strength of the senses or intellectual acumen or wealth? None of these is permanent. God has gifted every human being with Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-violence. Develop these qualities. On this special day, I bless you all to cultivate a good nature, lead a virtuous life and journey from goodness to ‘Godliness’ (Madhavathwa).
