So now, its Happy Pongal time....
Happy Pongal?
What does it mean? Or should the question be What is pongal?
Long long ago, so long ago that no one knows how long ago, many people who could converse with the nature came to know the secrets of the universe.
In one such discovery of a secret, there was found an interesting phenomenon, that the earth has a small change at a certain point of the solar year. That small change was with relation to the sun. The day when this happens, was celebrated as Pongal. People cooked rice in milk and offered to the earth, sun, vegetation and food.
The path the sun travelled, altered slightly. In today's terms, we can identify the same as the tilt of the earth.
But then Ladies and Gentlemen, the realisation can be mocked at. Very interestingly, the point of the discovery reveals many new things.
How, did the older generation find the exact day of the change? (Going through the anciant texts, we find that this tilt of the earth matter was found and celebrated for atleast 9000 years - yes, human years)
How, did the people find out about the Butterfly Effect? (A small action, can influence the nature - total India used to celebrate this in the name of Pongal and Sankaranthi. This, in today's modern scientific terms can be described as 'the collective action probably had a miraculous effect on the nature, the climatic and environmental side too.')
Is there any connection between the rise in corruption, violance in the month of jan-feb and the entry of sun in capricon?
By the way, let us remember that this was the day which was celebrated originally as the pagen celebration for the God Mitras and later, slightly parasitic church with the 'Me too' attitude associated them with the pagens and celebrates the Christ-Mass on this day (Original english calender consisted of 10 months, July and Auguest came in later, that's why the date difference)
Do you think that this is some built up story? Sorry, read the bible, you will know that Yehovah - Jesus was born in the month of March.
