Celebrate the Birthday in your own village. You need not travel long distances to where I physically am!
From the time of our birth till the time this body perishes, we are making many attempts to earn money and acquire food. In this process of amassing wealth, we are adopting means and methods which are adopted also by the birds and animals.
My birthday is the date when divinity blossoms in your heart.
Have a sense of pride in your motherland. Just as your mother has given birth to you, so too the land has given birth to you.
Plant the seeds of Love in your hearts. Let them grow into trees of Service and shower the sweet fruit of Ananda. Share the Ananda with all. That is the proper way to celebrate the Birthday.
Let all beings in all the worlds be happy). Include this universal prayer in your prayers every day. This is my birthday message to you.
Human life is precious, sublime and meaningful. But by involvement in purely worldly pursuits, the greatness of human birth is forgotten.
When the yearning for living ends, there can be no more birth.
Limiting birth by artificial means is an absurdly wrong step. The consequences of this act are irresponsible fatherhood or frustrated motherhood.
