<BR>Dear Friends,
<BR>
<BR>Today, 21-03-2002 is the spring or vernal equinox.
<BR>Today is the first day of Spring. It used to corrspond to 
<BR>the opening of spring season once upon a time for the 
<BR>Tamils. 
<BR>
<BR>The shift of seasons, as far as the Tamils are 
<BR>concerned, reveals several astounding and surprising facts. 
<BR>Unbeleiveable...yet facts are facts.
<BR>
<BR>Coming back to the topic, the length of the day and 
<BR>night will be equal. That is why it is known as the 'equinox'. 
<BR>'Nox' is night - 'The Day of the Equal Night'. 
<BR>The Celts and other tribes used to celebrate this day. 
<BR>They beleived that the Virgin Goddess created the Universe 
<BR>today. It was inside an egg. The egg was broken to release the 
<BR>universe.
<BR>Strange coincidence. The Maha Sivarathri denotes the
<BR>PraLaya. Everything is resolved into the Laya and nothing remains. 
<BR>The VEdic Knowledge is sealed and allowed to drift in the waters 
<BR>of Ulzhi. The Magam is the day when Siva releases the VEdas 
<BR>and causes the creation of the universe to take place. 
<BR>
<BR>Rejoice. This day, this period denotes the Birthday of the 
<BR>Universe.
<BR>
<BR>Regards
<BR>
<BR>JayBee
