A DAY OF GRATITUDE
Pongal means ‘to overflow.’ The time when humankind’s love for nature and nature’s love for humankind overflow—that is Pongal. Human beings make nature happy by having good thoughts and doing good actions. Nature blesses humankind with a bountiful harvest. When the universal mind and the individual mind overflow and become one—that is what Pongal is a symbol of. It is fitting to thank the Lord for this overflow of love and gratitude, as God is the source and creator of this nature and of living beings. He continues to be the protector of the nature even when human beings try to destroy the nature for their selfish claims. We also need to be grateful to the nature and the cattle which assist us to make this world a beautiful place to live and enjoy and to overflow with love, goodness and happiness.
