At the outset I convey to you my heartfelt Greetings to you for choicest life to happen to you .
The New Year 2014 is going to be born soon. Let us pray that
the New-year is free from all the negative/ destructive/annihilative tendencies , witnessed last year at the individual , family, community ,
national and global levels and that it
is an year of constructive actions ,peaceful co-existence and happy and zestful
life.
Let righteousness govern every action. Let this New year be exceptional in material prosperity ,the realization of human potential for the good of all and in harmonious living , Let people lead a life with the spirit of fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man .Let people in the world live like ‘loka manava’ or world citizen without the shackles created by man. Let man raise up to the nobility of human race, which took billions of years to move from subhuman existence, to be endowed with higher intellect and discriminative knowledge.
Let us be proud of rare human birth and heritage. Let us raise above all those
ficiparious tendencies that divide us and strengthen the bond of human
relationships by mutual trust, cooperation and unified efforts to create a
better tomorrow . Let us realize our responsibility to hand over this planet
earth to our future generation with all is treasures. Let us realize that we don’t own the planet earth nor it is our
permanent Residence.
We have borrowed it from the past generation for our camp life to be handed over to our future generation in
the same way and in the same condition, with which our ancestors passed on to u and made us
trustees .. Mother earth with all its bounty
is the gift of God and itis our duty to keep it as ‘kamadhenu’ or source
of ever meeting our needs, not greed.
Let us destroy the real enemies which are with in us such as ‘Kama, kroda, Lobha, Mooha, Mada,
Mathslrya’ , meaning desire for lust , anger, miserliness or the tendency accumulatemore and more, desires,
self-aggrandizement, destructive/ cut throat
competition rather than others
whom we wrongly perceive as our enemies .
Let us uphold our values of ‘satya or truth, ‘dharma’ or righteousness ,
‘prema’ or love , ‘santhi ‘or peace and ‘ahima’ or non-violence. Which are the
edifices of timeless Indian culture and traditions and bacons of light to
humanity who are ailing under ‘Avidhya’ or ignorance. Let the reservoir of our
inner energy surge out in constructive actions, without getting dissipated in
frivolous activities.
Let us all be the master
rather than slaves or victims of outside inducements of pleasures. Let
us not chase outside pleasures like
fireflies attracted by fire rushes to
court with blazing fire and destroyed.
Let us make love and care as universal practice and build up a world Religion in which all the major religions are like petals in a flower that share the bewitching colors and aroma and gift to the world.
Let our aspirations for achieving perfections in human life sour higher and higher matched by hard work, dedication to the goals and persistence in our efforts till goals are reached . Let us make heaven , the socalled ‘kingdom of God ‘ on this very earth .
Let the New-year 2014 which would usher in shortly be a glorious year in every sense , for the individuals, families, communities, , nations and comity of nation – in short for the world as a whole-a new era of hope, tolerance, compassion , peace and prosperity . Let us work together towards achieving those goals for the humanity, which is the king and crown of God’s creations .
