Thai Pongal, most popular event in Hindu calendar - President
“On this Thai Pongal Day, the most popular event in the Hindu religious calendar, I wish the Sri Lankan Hindus prosperity, peace and happiness in the coming year and beyond,” states President Mahinda Rajapaksa in a Thai Pongal message. The message adds: Traditionally a thanksgiving ceremony of the farming community Hindus offer prayers of gratitude to the Sun God for a bountiful harvest and also pay tribute to the farm animals who helped them in the cultivation.
A feast of freedom, peace, love and compassion it provides new opportunities for family re-union, meeting friends and aquaintances and reconciliation between estranged relatives and friends. As Sri Lanka is advancing towards prosperity and betterment of the lives of its people I call upon the Hindus and all people to re-kindle their resolve to bring about further social cohesion and unity of all communities co-existing in the new peaceful environment in the country. Let Thai Pongal signify not only the beginning of the month of Thai but also the beginning of a new life of peace and friendship among all peoples.’
That's a such a heartwarming and nice pongal wishes That is perfect for pongal 2013. Thanks for sharing!
