Makara Sankranti along with Sat-tila ekadashi is an auspicious occasion to express our gratitude to the Supreme Lord for blessing us with all the necessities of our life. By His grace, we can receive grains, vegetables, milk, and everything else needed for a happy life.
Makara Sankranti is celebrated all across India with various names, traditions and rituals. People thank the Lord and pray to Him for success and prosperity on this festive day.
Sat-Tila Ekadasi, observed during the Krishna Paksha of the sacred month of Magha, is a holy fasting day dedicated to Lord Vishnu and renowned for its emphasis on charity and compassion. The scriptures describe this Ekadasi as a powerful vrata that removes accumulated sins, purifies the heart, and uplifts the soul through acts of devotion and selfless giving.
On this divine Sat-Tila Ekadasi, may our hearts become successful in devotion by offering our time, service, and love to the Lord. As you engage in seva and charity, offer your heartfelt gifts to Sri Sri Radha Shyamasundar — for every act of devotion offered in sincerity becomes a step toward true spiritual success and reaches directly to the Lord’s lotus feet.
Why is Makar Sankranti Significance So Deeper?
The significance of Makar Sankranti lies beyond harvest celebration as well as seasonal change. This festival marks victory of knowledge over ignorance and light over darkness. Uttarayana encourages self-discipline, hope, and spiritual upliftment. The Bhagavad Gita teaches that helpful activities cleanse the heart and uplift the soul. On this day, observing fast, chanting of holy and serving Shri Krishna makes our devotion even stronger. We realize true significance when we surrender our every thought and action to Shri Krishna seeking for divine guidance in life. This sacred day reminds us that sincere devotion and inner purification matter more than materialistic rituals.
Offering service to Shri Krishna is the core celebration of Makar Sankranti. Vaishnava teachings clarify that service cleanses heart and uplifts the soul. Devotees of Sri Sri Radha Govinda express their service by chanting the holy names, preparing for prasadam, donating for spiritual programs. Contributing to temple services through ISKCON donation helps continue educational and spiritual activities.Many devotees also ask how to support ISKCON Mangalore temple. This is the selfless contribution converts simple service into eternal devotion and adds everlasting peace.
