You must fill yourself with holy thoughts. That is the purpose of sacred festivals. Sankramana is the time when the inward journey towards a pure and unsullied heart is made. Just as the Sun embarks on his northward journey, Sankranti is the day on which the intellect should be turned towards the Atma for Self-Realisation. Men and women have to change their vision, their thoughts, their words and their conduct. This is the meaning of Sankramana. Unless you purify yourself, what can any number of Sankrantis mean to you? Sankranti promotes mental transformation. It illuminates the minds of people. It induces unfoldment of innermost feelings. It brings about the manifestation of the invisible Atma within everyone. Sankranti is pregnant with such immense significance. Sankranti should be hailed as the harbinger of unity and peace. This was an immemorial message of the Vedas.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
