Uttarayanam!!

Tread the path of Gods

Krishna was the same Premaswaruupa (Divine love personified) even for the Grandfather

Bheeshma. The illiterate simple Gopees and the old revered warrior Bheeshma, persons of all

types, grades and professions found in Him their chief source of Wisdom, Grace and Inspiration.

That is the sign of the Incarnation. When he waited for the northward movement of the Sun to

come, Bheeshma was giving man a valuable message: the Sun is the presiding deity of intellect

(buddhi) and when in the hridhayaakaasha (space in the heart) the Sun takes a northward turn,

that is, the Utthara-ayanu or the Utthama-ayana (the Superior Path), the path which leads to God

instead of the downward path to the objective world, that period is best for the journey of the

soul too. So, what you should also do today is to resolve to tread the path of Gods (Deva-ayana).

Have the resolve to begin remembrance of the Supreme Lord's Name, Ritual Worship, and

Divine Service (Naamasmarana of Paramaathma, archana and aaraadhana). The day on which

you begin these, and thus inaugurate the Superior Path for your intellect, that day is

Uttharaagana for you. Do not wait for the almanac to tell you the date.

Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba illustrates the importance of this day in a significant way,so that humanity adheres to this special day,as set as an example by Bheeshma Pitha.
