ONAM - in its real sense ( real meaning by way of Suddha sanmargam )
Mythological and fictitious story – believed to have happened .
An emperor by name Mahabali was there and once in a year he visits his kingdom. As a warm reception to him, Onam is celebrated.
This is the general awareness among the public who celebrate this festival
Full story :
Mahabali , in the incarnation of Vamana , gave 3 foot of land at the end of a yagna, by which he was suppressed inside the earth, and once in a year, he comes out of earth to the world in the star of THIRUVONAM , hence festival named as “Onam”
Great contradiction : when God doesnot want his presence on earth, why such a grand welcome and reception ( floral carpet ) ?????
Undeserving tribute to an undeserving person ?
Real meaning of Onam:
Mind is personified as Mahabali and by the sacred foot of Lord is annihilated and suppressed and buried inside the consciousness and kept under eternal control.
Mind should be nailed in the coffin box of consciousness and always under it’s control
But what comes out again, after mind is earthed in , is not mind ( Mahabali ) , it is SOUL , with which ALL is possible and ALL becomes reality – that is why such a grand welcome – floral carpet etc. But innocent people , don’t know the real meaning
SOUL is almighty - all powerful
Day of Victory of consciousness over mind should be the real meaning for the celebration, but return of mind is celebrated in gala.
Theme of the story:
Mind should be under the control of consciousness for ever.
Always the story is absorbed in the minds and the theme inside the story is long forgotten.
Big themes are sculpted in the minds of people by way of stories, but the poor people always remember the story and forget the big theme.
