Answer 1

Hello everyone... Its been a while since I have written something. I received a message from Swapnali, an enthusiastic girl, who follows my blog saying that I hadn't written anything  of late and she suggested that I should write something on Makar Sankranti. I promised her that I'd surely have this topic for my next post and here it is.....

The sun, symbolizing wisdom, divine knowledge and spiritual light, which receded from you when you reveled in the darkness of ignorance, delusion and sensuality, now joyously turns on its northward course and moves towards you to shed its light and warmth in greater abundance, and to infuse into you more life and energy. - Author Unknown

  Makar Sankranti is one of the most auspicious day for the Hindus, It is celebrated in almost all parts of the country in many forms, with great devotion, fervor and gaiety. It is the day when the Sun begins its ascend and entry into the Northern Hemisphere. Sun in the Hindu religion is notably mentioned as the visible form of God that one can see every day who symbolizes the one, non-dual, glorious divinity blessing one and  all. The Gayatri Mantra, is directed to Sun God to bless the individuals with intelligence and wisdom. Sun not only represents God but also stands for an embodiment of knowledge and wisdom.

Astrologists consider it to be having a great significance in astrology as it involves the transition of sun from one zodiac sign to the other, in fact sankranti happens every month. 

This year, Maha Kumbh mela at Sangam (meeting place of the rivers Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati) in Allahabad begins on this day. Where bathing for purification from sin is considered especially auspicious and attracts millions of devotees from around the world.

On 14th of January every year we celebrate the festival Makar Sankranti. After the celebration of the New Year, we all were very excited about this festival. My mother had prepared many sweets at home and throughout the day we siblings enjoyed eating them. Also, we have bought kites which we enjoyed flying in the air. We celebrated the festival with full enthusiasm and happiness.
