Onam 2011

Like every Onam, this time too I received many text messages. All of them spoke of the beauty of the nature and/or about the festivities during this time period. This particular text message caught my attention. I had never seen this version of Onam ...

Onam is not about new clothes, flower carpets and sadhyas. King Mahabali is not the benign monarch during whose reign all men were equal. The Vamana Avathar is higher stage of evolution of human consciousness, breaking through the sub-human demonic stage represented by Mahabali, to pave the way for the Rama, Krishna, Buddha Kalki avathars.

As my friend would say, wish everybody has an evolved & enriched year ahead.
