H-E-R-I - Hakikisha (To make sure)

The necessary and natural cycles occur throughout the sacred universe by grand orchestration of the Creator Supreme. As a central part of the sacred universe necessary cycles are a part of Afrikan life from birth to transition into the ancestral realm. At the rooted level of spiritual-cultural fabric there are seasons throughout the year where life is cultivated to produce bountiful harvest of elevation. With the beginning of a new annual cycle well-wishing and plans for the year ahead are oftentimes brought to the fore. From the most ancient of times being happy or rather evocation of Hapi was a call to cultivate and bring forth bountiful harvest. Here detailed is an acronym of the Kiswahili word Heri meaning happy to be found in the popular phrases such as Heri za Kwanzaa or Kwanzaa Yenu Iwe Na Heri as expressed in celebration of the wonderful observance of Kwanzaa.

Hakikisha (To make sure)

Enzi (To be mighty) 

Ridhaa (To agree) 

Iktisadi (To have economy)

The first part of the Heri acronym is Hakikisha (To make sure) – To work towards surety of wholesome and progressive relations in Afrikan family, community, nation and race.

As sure as the sacred universe exists by grand orchestration of the Creator Supreme, the Afrikan exists to fully flourish also by divine decree. Progressive Afrikan life is built upon the wholesome and progressive relations that function harmoniously for the greater good. The person steeped in living knowingness of self becomes part of harmonious and complementary male-female union for ever-greater familyhood. Progressive families connect for ascension in community-hood and the structures of nationhood allow for nations to be build in thrust of global Afrikan ascension. At every level the Creator Supreme energises surety as ultimate divine power. Despite the incessant yet futile efforts of others that mean the Afrikan ill to destroy wholesome Afrikan relations, the ever-onward self-determined mission to ensure continued Afrikan connectedness forever rises. Indeed, the victory of wholesome and progressive Afrikan oneness is imperative missioning.  

Within the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation seasonal spiritual-cultural living is beautifully expressed throughout the annual cycle with the following observances:
