Dear Friends, Best Greetings, and live blissfully forever with all wealth!

The Tamil Month ‘Thai ‘(Sanskrit: Makara) is regarded as the beginning of an auspicious phase in Indian culture. There is a Popular Tamil saying as “தைபிறந்தால்வழிபிறக்கும்” This month is said as the 'holy phase of transition'.

Scientifically, the first day of the Tamil Month ‘THAI/தைமாதம்’ marks the beginning of warmer and longer days compared to the nights. In other words, ‘Thai’ marks the termination of winter season and beginning of a new harvest or spring season, and thus, the best period to celebrate and rejoice in the bountiful harvest with overwhelming gratitude to the Almighty God of Nature Truth.

Thai Pongal or Makar Sankranthi is a major harvest festival celebrated all over the World with distinct names and rituals. The importance of this day had been signified in the ancient epics like Mahabharata also. In general, it is the festival of Sun God/God of Light, and he is regarded as the symbol of Divinity and Wisdom by the ancient Indians.

The movement of the Sun from one zodiac sign into another is called Sankranthi, and as the Sun moves into the zodiac sign of Capricorn (Tamil: Thai, Sanskrit: Makara) on its celestial path, this occasion is named as Makara Sankranthi in the Indian context. And, this is one of the few Hindu Indian festivals which are celebrated on a fixed date i.e. on the first day of the Tamil Month, ‘Thai’ which is on the day in mid-January every year.

Many Indians conflate this festival with the Winter Solstice, and believe that the sun ends its southward journey (Sanskrit: Dakshinayana) at the Tropic of Capricorn, and starts moving northward (Sanskrit: Uttarayaana) towards the Tropic of Cancer, from the month of Tamil-Thai onwards.

Scientifically, the Sun will begin its northward journey which marks Uttarayaa. In fact, the sun does not move from the zodiac Sagittarius/Dhanus Rasi into Capricorn/Mahara Rasi as we see; but, it only appears for us as if it moves from one constellation /one rasi into another as the earth goes around the sun. However, the Sun and our whole solar system orbit around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, at an average velocity of 828,000 km/hr, and even at that high rate, it still takes about 230 million years to make one complete orbit around the Spiral Milky Way Galaxy, and this 230 million or 230 000 000 years is knows as One Galactic Year.

Well. Now a simple question! There must be something at the center of the Milky Way, since everything in it keeps going round it. So, what is that? Sgr A* (pronounced "Sagittarius A-star”) is a bright and very compact astronomical radio source at the center of the Milky Way. Yes. This Sagittarius A* is believed to be the location of a super massive black hole, and this is named as the Sagittarius A*, since it can be viewed through the zodiac Sagittarius/Danush Rasi, and from this zodiac Sagittarius/Danush Rasi only, the sun appears to move towards the zodiac Capricorn/Mahara Rasi during this month Thai.

We know black holes are still one of the biggest mysteries in the universe, and which are the last stage in a star’s life cycle, and are formed when a star collapses due to its own gravity so that they become so dense that nothing in the universe can escape from their gravitational pull. Even though, finding black holes has been tricky, they can be located by the radioactive emission of matter that falls into them. Today, scientists predict that almost all galaxies contain gigantic black holes in their centers, millions or even billions of times more massive than the Sun.

And, scientific observations confirm that galaxies also contain many small black holes, with masses only a few times greater than that of the Sun. Several of these small black holes have been dubbed "micro quasars" because they produce miniature jets akin to those of their larger cousins.

Eventually, a star/the sun collapses so much that it is contained within its ‘Schwarzschild radius, or event horizon’, - the boundary within which light cannot escape. At this point, the black hole is extremely tiny; a black hole with the mass of our star/the Sun would fit in a small city, while one with the mass of the Earth would fit in the palm of our small hand!

The material inside the Schwarzschild radius will continue to collapse indefinitely, reaching the point where our understanding of the laws of physics breaks down. But no information from inside the Schwarzschild radius can escape to the outside world. The Limitless Grace Awareness/Arul Arivu, such as that of His Holiness the Vast-Grace-Light Vallalar needs to be blessed to understand what is going on inside the Event Horizon/ the Schwarzschild radius.

On the Day of Thai Poosam, we can see the Poosa Natchathiram/Star in the sky in the same direction of moon’s location as we see it from the Sithivazhagam, Mettukkupam, and that is the actual direction of location of the super massive black hole, which is named as the Sagittarius A*, the center of the Milky Way, and around which only all in our Spiral Milky Way move. One who has a sound astronomical knowledge (not the astrological knowledge – which can manipulated in any way to deceive innocents) can clearly understand this nature truth. Please refer the NASA Astronomical Pictures to confirm this nature truth.

This ‘Thai Poosam Day’ is viewed as one of the most auspicious days throughout India, and hence all over India, all Hindus go to their Temple for worship on this day. Somehow, our ancestors also knew this truth, but taught all nature truths in the Tamil/Indian Scriptures via rituals only.

We know His Holiness the Vast-Grace-Light Vallalar has already attained His Suddha Theyham/Pure Physical Body, Pranava Theyham/The Pure Spirit-Light-Body and His Limitless Gnana Theyham/ The Divine Body of Limitless Grace Awareness/ The divine Body of Limitless Compassion- Consciousness. Yet, we need to know why our Peruman has chosen this Auspicious Day to become INVISIBILE to Human Eyes forever! But, His Holiness the Vast-Grace-Light Vallalar has also taught us to try to figure out the inner and outer connections between our Pindam/Physical Body and Andam/the Universe. May God bless us abundantly to know this nature truth!

Well. One thing I am certain that His Divine Power gracefully descends down for us on this Holy Day to ascend us in both worlds/inner and outer. Let us worship devotedly, and ask whatever we want on this Holy Day, by offering a humble prayer to The Almighty Vast-Grace-Light God/ArutPerumJyothi Andavar.

According to His Holiness, the Vast-Grace-Light Vallalar, “Selfless Pure Compassionate Service to a needy Soul is the Highest Prayer that can be offered to The Almighty Vast-Grace-Light God by an educated/enlightened Person” So, let us try to do one such a compassionate service on this Holy-Light Day so that The Almighty God will be highly pleased to bless us more and more with what we need for our both inner and outer worlds!

Thanks for reading and radiating onto all.

Have a Superb Day!

ArutPerumJyothi…Almighty Vast-Grace-Light…

With High Compassion,
