Guest guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 The inner meaning underlying the Bharatiya festivals should be rightly understood. On each festival day, people have a sacred bath early in the morning and wear new clothes, keep their houses and surroundings clean. Thus the festivals teach us the importance of internal and external cleanliness. The Vedas declare, "Anthar Bahischa Tat Sarvam Vyapya Narayana Stithaha", God is present within and around. So, one has to be pure both internally and externally. It is the water that helps to keep your body clean. But it is love that keeps your heart clean. You should celebrate the festivals in full realization of their inner significance".- From Swami's Divine Discourse on October 19th, 1998. Om Sai Ram Your Mail works best with the New Optimized IE8.
