Happy Sankranti

Taking a dip in the Sangam at Ganga Sagar
Folding hands, bow toward the ever-pervading light
O! Surya Dev Thank you for being so kind and travelling northward
Taking a pinch of color from the sky and earth let us dress in colors, vibrant
for sesame-made sweets, let us “forgive and forget” and vow to be benevolent
Celebrate the harvest that makes a rainbow over the north, south, west and east
Dance around the Bonfire and do the Bihu Dance and enjoy the national feast
Gorging on the Pongal, Makar Chaula and the Peethey
Fly the colorful kites. Ah! what a wonderful day!
