Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 OM SAI RAM Ugadi Celebration _ Indian New Year! Sai Baba on Ugadi Ugadi - Predictions of the Year - Kavi Sammelan (poetry recitation) is a typical Telugu Ugadi feature Preparing for the Occasion - What awaits you this ugadi? - Astroscope URL:http://www..com/sai_baba_ugadi.htm "The New year festival or Ugadi comes close on the heels of Holi. While the strong colors of Holi start fading away, the freshness of spring lingers on with sprightliness all around. It is believed that the creator of the Hindu pantheon Lord Brahma started creation on this day - Chaitra suddha padhyami or the Ugadi day. Also the great Indian Mathematician Bhaskaracharya's calculations proclaimed the Ugadi day from the sunrise on as the beginning of the new year, new month and new day. The onset of spring also marks a beginning of new life with plants (barren until now) acquiring new life, shoots and leaves. Spring is considered the first season of the year hence also heralding a new year and a new beginning. The vibrancy of life and verdent fields, meadows full of colorful blossoms signifies growth, prosperity and well-being. With the coming of Ugadi, the naturally perfumed jasmines (mallepulu) spread a sweet fragrance which is perhaps unmatched by any other in nature's own creation! While large garlands of jasmine are offered to Gods in homes and temples, jasmine flowers woven in clusters adorn the braids of women."
