Jóla- og nýárskveðja frá Paramahansa Prajnanananda

 

Loving and Divine Soul,

God bless you.

During the holy days of Christmas and New Year’s Day, when the entire world is in festive mood, I send my love and best wishes to you from the core of my heart.

One year has already gone. It is a flow. No one can stop it. We have to accept this change. But along with this external change, we should be ready to change ourselves in love and divinity.

Life is change. One who cannot change is not worthy of living. All change should be for good and betterment. This change should bring inner transformation. As compost is transformed into a beautiful fruit or flower in plants and trees, similarly, we should make our lives divine by moving from darkness to light, from falsehood to truth, from hatred to love, from jealousy to kindness, and from being judgmental to being forgiving.

Time will fly. We should live worthy lives. Then, instead of feeling empty, we will experience completeness, love, and devotion. Remember, without God, life is incomplete. Without love, life is barren. Without selfless service, life is a rocky road. Let us live the life of love and service, giving and forgiving. On this path we expand ourselves; we grow from personhood to Godhood.

Make the best use of time. Do not waste it unnecessarily with trivial worry and emotion, with fear and frustration. Let us live with cheerfulness and a smile. Let us love and care for each other, because by giving we receive plenty.

While celebrating the birth of Jesus, let our hearts be filled with love, compassion, and service. Let the New Year be a year of transformation in love and kindness.

I am praying for you all.
I am sending all my love and best wishes to you to make this New Year a Divine New Year.

With Love,
Prajnanananda
