THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

This day is the sacred day when the Lord as Vamana Avatar conferred liberation on Emperor Bali. Bali was a great emperor. He loved his subjects and looked after their welfare. Poverty was unknown in his realm. He felt proud about his kingdom and his people, and thus suffered from a slight sense of ego. Lord Vamana incarnated to eradicate the undesirable quality of ego in Emperor Bali by effacing even this pride and thereby redeem him. Before leaving for the nether world, Bali gave a promise to his people, whom he loved dearly. He said that he would visit them every year on the day of Onam and bless them
