God commanded humans to keep
seven Feasts and Holy Days throughout the year. Passover is the first of these. It is in this time that we observe what God commanded the Hebrews to follow. Since the Hebrews (Divines) are The Elects, the Commandment is for us.
In
God's Calendar, the night of Passover always begins on the evening (end) of the 14th day of the first lunar month (Eve 14). That means this year's Passover will begin on
the evening of Wednesday, April 4 (tomorrow evening).
To keep this Holy Day, we will broadcast a special Passover service over
Paltalk on April 4 starting at
5:30 PM MDT (Mountain Daylight Time). We make a Joyful noise to the Lord (
kirtan,
The Reminder,
Samgacchadvam), read the Satsang
Passover, and then each community in their own area can have a community meal together to commemorate the Passover night. (The meditation class that is usually held at 7 PM on Wednesdays will be cancelled this week.)
As this occasion was to identify the Faithful from the lukewarm, on this night we hang the
HOSH sign over the entrances of our houses so God will Pass Over our houses and
the disasters will not touch us throughout the year (as He passed by the Hebrews and they were not harmed). If you do not have
HOSH signs to hang, you can print out
graphics of the HOSH sign and hang these instead.
So read the
Satsang about this night, arrange gatherings in your area, and join us for our service in Paltalk (April 4, 2012, at 5:30 PM MDT,
All Religions... room). Hang
HOSH signs over your house entrances and have a community meal together in memory of what God did for the Hebrews (Elects) and how He will do it for you if you are Faithful (Faith comes by Hearing the Words).
The night of Passover begins the seven day Feast of Unleavened Bread (Eve 15-21, or April 5-11), during which no leaven (yeast, symbolic of sin) should be eaten or kept in the home, and sacrifice should be practiced (with knowledge - when it is needed and is for the good and progress of others). The Feast of Unleavened Bread ends with a day of Holy Convocation (Eve 21, or April 11), a
Sabbath, with no servile work (worldly work).
