Today is Kanuma Pongal and Mukkanuma on the 16th

January 15, 2009

Today January 15th is KANUMA and in Andhra Pradesh we celebrate an extra day which is called MUKKANUMA on January 16th.

Kanuma is also called Pasuvula Panduga.The cattle sheds and cattle are cleaned and decorated. The cattle are also worshipped on the occasion. This day is followed by Mukkanuma which is earmarked for happy bonding.

The cattle are decorated and worshipped today. Today is most significant as Lord Sri Krishna lifted the Govardhana hill in Gokulam on this day.

The last day of this unique festival of Sankranthi in Andhra is MUKKANUMA. There are so many people especially in villages for whom we seek help for various things including to help in the farms to raise crops, to remove weeds and even to harvest the crops. This is the day we have to thank all these people to serve us day in and day out including the domestic maids, Washermen and women, barbers and those who make chappals for the protection of our feet from heat and injury with thorns in the villages and give various gifts and feed them with their children on this Mukkanuma day.

Let us all again and again remember Bhagawan's Wonderful words yesterday in His Makara Sankranthi Discourse " Help those who hurt you or try to harm you. IT IS ONLY SAI WHO CAN HELP THOSE WHO HURT OR ABUSE HIM ".

DIVINE WORDS FROM BHAGAWAN.

Om Sai Ram
