Its that time of the year that is fast becoming nostalgic for me

For it was on this day 5 years ago that I launched the Cybugle
newsletter
into cyberspace on Jan 15th 2007

(Makar Sankranti fell on Jan 15th also that year)

The Ruler of the Zodiac (The SUN) enters the sign ruled
by His eldest son Shani (Saturn) and heralds the the beginning
of the day of the Gods which Hindus know as Uttarayan

The seasons too undergo a change as winter peaks and
starts to decline from this day onwards in popular belief
And If reports coming in about the weather even as I am
penning this are to be believed, the sky has opened for
the rays of the Sun God to break through and the weather
has become pleasantly warm

Our ancient seers and sages did not just on a whim create
traditions and rituals but rather incorporated them into the
cyclical changes of the seasons as an aid to remaining in
harmony with the laws governing natural phenomena
and change ....

Exchanging Gachak or Rewadi (In Punjab) and
til gud
(in maharashtra), these signify  a thawing of winter in our
hearts and also as a source of energy to generate warmth
in our bodies that is shared in a bonhomie of human bonding

The festival of Lohri in Punjab dedicated to fire God Agni that
precedes Sankranti is another ritual for bonding with our bretheren

One cannot but marvel at the wisdom of the sages to have
seen so far off into the future and to have made provisions for it .. 
A cursory look around us tells us more than enough the extent
to which we have strayed away from the righteous path
and How the observance of rituals still stand as the bulwark
against outright hedonism
 
CYBUGLE was formed and will continue to stimulate thinking
for ones self improvement in every which that it can ...
with increasing stress on practical steps that one can take
and the breaking of dogmas that freezes one into inaction
 
Towards such a goal, lets renew our faith and break through
the clouds of ignorance and suspicion with the light of awareness
 
Here's praying that the SUN of knowledge illuminates our
path towards righteousness and thus our salvation ...
 
With such fond hopes on this Makar Sankranti and Pongal,
Lets blow the bugle for freedom from ignorance and negativity

Attached , please find a Power point show on Surya Namaskar
and How to perform it

Plus the benefits of doing it ..
A fitting post on Makar Sankranti as the Sun's rays
begin to shower divine rays on earth
