Xmas

In England, they change the date to midnight. That makes no sense, really. It is absurd, no one will awaken out of his sleep just to change the date. It is illogical, impractical. The date should be changed in the morning – that is common sense. You always change your calendar in the morning. But why has it been done this way? There is a secret.

 In India, when it is 5:30 in the morning it is midnight in England. There was a time, before this civilization when the Hindu concept ruled over the whole world. Just like when the British Empire was all over the world, Greenwich time became real-time; everyone would refer to it. There was a world before Mahabharat – a prehistoric Indian war – when the Hindu mind ruled over the whole world. Whenever it was morning in India, that was the time to change the date. It was midnight in England, so they also changed the calendar date then. That has continued.

You will be surprised that in England, the parliament made a special act three hundred years ago to begin the year with January 1. Before three hundred years ago, the year was ending with March 25. But what does it mean to end the year on March 25? There is no meaning in it, but that was the day on which the Indian year ended. On March 25 the Indian year ends, and that was so all over the world. They had to make a special act to change it.

The last week of December is known all over the world as Xmas. X is Roman for ten, and mas in Sanskrit means month. Xmas means the tenth month, it means December. But why? December should not be the tenth month. But it has been tenth in the Indian calendar, about five thousand years ago.
