Happy Birthday, Sanmugan!  You've given so much to Gaia, and I always look forward to your posts.  I feel that we share satsang as a group.  Many blessings this new solar year.   In western astrology you would be a Gemini but near the cusp of Cancer and also near the summer solstice, an auspicious time.  Aum, Karthyayani

A message from you brought me here. I never expected this according to your earlier message. Now you all are celebrating this on my behalf, for that I have to be more thankful to you all but actually I have never celebrated this so far. Even yesterday I had to attend another remembrance day of a close relative, whose wife helped me financially for my further studies. From my age of eleven up to the University entrance examination, I had been studying on our government scholarship. Our class teacher initiated all of us into spiritualism during that period. That continues forever. I will try to attend every one with their post. Thanks a lot for creating some thing like this.

Sanmugan, how wonderful that your teacher introduced you to spiritualism. That is how schools need to be, and we will see more people like you, with calm and steady strength and so much to give without taking anything from the world.

I got delayed in starting this thread because I couldn't log into Gaia yesterday, that's why I had written to you that I haven't been able to celebrate here - and then the Gods were kind and let me post. So…I'm glad we could give you a good surprise!

What's your favorite thing to eat, Sanmugan?
Maybe some kheer?

Thanks again for all your efforts here and everywhere. You had been guiding me always.  Abut the edibles I have no special favourite as I am used enjoy everything vegetarian. Kheer is Payasam in tamil. Am I correct. That is also good for the body. Once again thanks to all

Dear Sanmugan,

let me congratulate you wholeheartedly to your birthday! From Germany to Sri Lanka or wherever you be right now. I enjoy the fresh wind between the spirit of the ancient wisdom you always remind and your intercontinental curiosity for modern devlopments. Your free flowing attention  for people and modern media too.

Your polite and friendly communication. Let me give you a big hug and bring out 3 Cheers to you:

One for your next 365 day and nights.
One for lots of light, laughter and life in the time to come.
One for the birthday of the Great Unborn where seldom birthdays greetings arrive for, as Ken Wilber once wrote:

“This infinite ocean of ease, this vast expense of freedom, this lucid sea of stillness, is what I am in the depest part of me, hte infinite interconnection where I am not, and the spirit only is…”

Happy, joyful and ecstatic birthday, dear Sanmugan,

Albert

Happy birthday Sanmugan

I'm sorry I'm so late!
Time is not real
but we celebrate it anyways! :D

Sanmugan,
thank you for your companionship
for travelling this road of life together
though we've never met physically (yet)
we have met in ways deeper than most
our words touch each other's souls

In this short and precious life
we must appreciate all those who journey with us
we are all reflections of each other
the joy others bring us
is a reflection of our own joy
for the divine exists within each of us
distilled in a unique form

May we never be lonely in our aloneness
may we feel each others presence in each others absence
