Buddha Purnima

Buddham Sharanam Gachchami
Dhammam Sharanam Gachchami
Sangham Sharanam Gachchami

I go to the Buddha (Spirituality) for refuge
I go to the Dhamma (Righteousness) for refuge
I go to the Sangham (Society) for refuge

When it is said 'Buddham Saranam Gachaami'- Buddham here means the supreme intellect within you which leads you with discrimination of right and wrong. Right- that makes your life noble and happy leading one to the state of Bliss. This aspect also embodies all the factors that makes others -the entire animate and inanimate world happy.Live harmoniously and let others live as in the creation every one has every right to lead a spiritual life.


Last one 'Dhammam Saranam Gacchaami'. Always be righteous -so surrender to the righteous behavior and character. Dhamma means the righteous behavior of humans. A human must be humane but should not embrace the characteristic behavior of animals and brutes.

Similarly 'Sangham Saranam Gacchami'. Surrender to the Society by involving your life for the good of the society even at the expense your own comforts in your own life.A sacrificing life for the good of the society! Only through sacrifice only ones life becomes 'IMMORTAL'. Jesus is the good example for this. Would you agree, and there are so many who sacrificed their lives for the welfare and betterment of the society.

These are the three Great messages given by 'Lord Buddha' to the human race and which were emulated by the great preachers and saints even before the christian era came into existence.
