Thanksgiving-An offering of Gratitude
GRATITUDE IS THE ATTITUDE TO BRING IN BLESSINGS & LIGHT INTO OUR LIVES.
THANKSGIVING IS THE BEAUTIFUL EXPRESSION OF SUCH GRATITUDE FOR ALL THE ABUNDANCE WE HAVE.
THIS WONDERFUL ENERGY OF OFFERING GRATITUDE IS CELEBRATED AS THANKSGIVING DAY.
Offering gratitude for what we receive from nature is an occasion celebrated by almost all cultures globally, though at different times of the year. Thanksgiving is one of the oldest and popular American traditions celebrated as a ‘Harvest festival‘. This year Thanksgiving is being celebrated on Thursday, 25th November 2021.
This special day is set aside to recognise and appreciate God as the ultimate provider. A day to honour the bond of light and acknowledge all the blessings bestowed upon us by the Almighty Lord and to reflect upon all that we have received.
SIGNIFICANCE
The celebration of Thanksgiving is yet another opportunity to grow the numerous seeds of gratitude in our hearts, so that we can open it with love and compassion for all. On this occasion we reflect on how to love ourselves as God loves us. Because one can only give what we have, let’s start with appreciating all that we have, and expand this love in the form of gratitude.
Honouring & Sharing are those pillars in one’s life that strengthen the foundation of one’s true connection with self. When we are truly grateful for what we receive and have an open heart to share, we have achieved exemplary success in our divine journey.
In the process of cultivating the connection to the cosmic energies, people go through a series of attempts to establish the true connection to self by opening the light within themselves.
GIVING & SHARING
From celebrating through feasting in thanks for the plenty that the Lord continues to bless us with, to fasting in honour of the Almighty during pivotal moments, Thanksgiving is the perfect moment to reflect upon all wonderful things that we receive all year round.
On this day people organise charity drives, thanksgiving prayers, thanksgiving dinners, parades and more. This day has the noble intent of expressing our gratefulness for all the food and multitude of blessings that we receive from God. On this occasion, people also express their gratitude to friends and family members for their constant support and caretaking.
