Bhogi-

Bhogi-
everything anew, everyday...

The first day of the four day Pongal festival. The last day of the Tamil month Maargazhi.
The day of cleansing;
The day to discard old and derelict thoughts, emotions and things;
The day to drum in celebration of the new found freedom to give up, let go, burn negative energies and renew oneself;
A day to light a bonfire of self-purification, fogging the invisible and visible impurities within and with us; disposing the derelict possessions in life- habits,thoughts, objects,
attachments that hinders actualisation.

Bhogi represents realization, transformation and purification of the soul;
Seeing everything anew, every day...
Preparation to welcome the harvest festival, a new season in life; Thai Pongal, Makar Sankranti and Lohri, Maattu Pongal and Kaanum Pongal.
