Swamiji Conveys His Divine Blessings on the ocassion of Ugadi, March 27th 2009

My hearty Divine Blessings to all on the ocassion of Ugadi.

The name "Ugadi" came from Yuga + Aadi which means "Beginning of a New age.

Ugadi should not be treated merely as a festive occasion. It must be regarded as a day dedicated to the Divine. The ugadi  reminds  man to express  gratitude to the Divine for all the grace received from God.

Hence, you should fill every moment with pure thoughts, with pure feelings and pure actions. Every moment one should try to get rid of bad thoughts and fill the mind with good thoughts and thereby strengthen oneself.

In fact Every day of life should be a ugadi and one should strive to attain all the five strengths namely physical strength, mental strength, social strength, financial strength and spiritual and be a strong individual in all aspects.

My divine blessings on this Ugadi and  I bless you to enjoy bliss of devotion and overcome pain and sorrow by getting rid of ignorance and cultivating right knowledge, use the knowledge so gained for the good of society, and working  together make this world an abode of peace.
