ALT.HINDU:celebrating birthdays
" This then is a day that a particular jeeva has stepped into the world at a particular time, governed by specific zoodiacal position, surrounded by a particular family predetermined by his vasanaassand placed into a specific station in life sculpted by his karma.. Henceforth he sends vibrations distinctly his and perceives life with a stamp exclusively his. Should this event be wasted in the form of parties, cake cutting,and gift taking ,leaving behind a scar from the enjoyment of mere fanfare? Should this event be more meaningful than a callous ,mechanical namavali that accompanies archanas conducted on your behalf at temples? There is a ritual prescribed by our rishis that the birthday person can have performed for him by the priest or he can do it himself.
