Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Supreme lord, source of energy for all, Lord Sun, is entering the sign of Capricorn (Makar rashi) today. This is the time, when all that is derelict and useless, is discarded and new things are established, signifies a beginning and initiation of positive energies. It also signifies leaving your ego aside and embracing your loved ones. A reunion of family and friends. A celebration of joy, peace and prosperity to come. May the supreme lord refreshes you with his energy and fills your life with love, peace, joy and prosperity. Happy Makar Sankranti !!
