Dear Bhagavathas , 

Your Question :

Why do people celeberate their Birth days.

My answer : 

According to Srivaishnava Philosophy , we chits , are supposed to be part and 
parcel of the Lord Sriman Narayanan , before the start of the Creation of the 
Universe by the Lord. 

So when the Lord has gives us this body , mind and soul , it is our beholden 
duty to thank HIM continuously for keeping it fit to perform HIS prescribed 
Karmas based on our vasanas , in line with HIS teachings. 

As explained in Srimad Bhagavatham , there are nine devotional processes 
through which we can try to serve the LORD for HIS happiness. Sravanam , 
Kirthanam , Smaranam , Paada Sevanam , Archanam , Vandanam , Daasyam, Sakhyam 
and Aatma Nivedanam. 

For doing all these one?s physical body and the mind should be in sound 
condition and control . Here , we should have HIS blessings for its proper 
functioning. Especially , when one advances in age , the sense organs do not 
listen to our wish and command and they try to function as per their wish . 
Even though we may be careful In looking after our physical body , unless we 
have Lord?s mercy in full measure at every stage , we will be far from 
achieving our objective. 

So we celeberate our birthdays , only to thank the Lord for having given us 
this sound health conditions to do the karma and service for HIS satisfaction. 

Celeberating birthdays with pomp and glory to show off one?s riches or status 
is not at all appreciated by the LORD and hence to be avoided. It should be a 
simple thanks giving function for the satisfaction of the LORD. 

Regards

Yours Ramanuja Dasan- G.Sampath.
