The day of Makara Sankranti has a very special significance. Sankranti means - San (coming together); Kranti (a big change). The entry of the Sun into Makararasi (Capricorn) heralds the beginning of a great change from this day. It marks the entry into a Divine phase. It signifies the attempt to turn man's mind towards God. It is a day when we pray to the Sun, who is the presiding deity for the eyes, to direct our vision to the pure and the holy, the sacred and the Divine. The real meaning of Purusharthas (goals of human life) is to make use of the time and the circumstances as they arise for making one's life meaningful and sublime. We have to effect a remarkable spiritual transformation in the world today. Only then the observance of Makara Sankranti has a meaning. External changes with no change in one's outlook and attitude will not signify kranti (radical change). When we bring about a great spiritual transformation, then there will be real peace.
