My hearty Divine Blessings to all on the occasion of Hemalamba nama samvatsara Ugadi, March 29th 2017. It is my desire that this Ugadi should bring about the prosperity for both the Telugu states of Telengana and Andhra Pradesh and they should emerge as the top states in the nation. The country should prosper and be an ideal nation in the world. I urge that all the people of Telugu origin wherever they may be living should extend their coordination to the Chief Ministers of both Telengana and Andhra Pradesh, and the people of the states and play their part in the progress of these states.

Ugadi is the day of the creation of the universe and reminds us to express gratitude to the Divine for all the grace received from God, and resolve to keep this Universe peaceful. There is a great need for everyone to churn their mind and enlighten the divine power in us and make ourselves peaceful by filling our mind with peace and heart with love and thereby make this world an abode of peace. It is my desire that the Hemalamba naama Ugadi should bring good health, long life, prosperity, peace in the homes, peace in the universe.

Good times for the Telugu states
Everyone should cooperate for the progress
Sri Sri Sri Viswayogi Viswamjee Maharaj

Viswayogi Viswamjei Maharaj has said that the Hemalamba Ugadi will bring about good for both Telengana and Andhra Pradesh.

Talking to Andhra Bhoomi representative on Monday, Sri Viswayogi Viswamjee wished that this New Year should be good for all the people and said that he conveys his Divine blessings to all. This year Mars will be the King, Jupiter the minister and Sun the commander-in-chief Swamiji conveyed.

For this reason both the states will have good rainfall and good crops, Swamiji conveyed. Both the Telugu states will march forward on the path of prosperity Swamiji said.

Swamiji has said that people of Telugu origin living in America and other countries should cooperate and play their part for the progress of their Telugu states. Swamiji added that this year India will play an important role in the world and India's name and fame will reach greater heights.

Even if internally there arise any problems the central and state governments will be capable enough to handle them and will take necessary steps to bring about peace in the state and country.

I convey my divine blessings to all on the ocassion of Holi. This is the day when Lord Siva burnt Kamadeva to ashes ( Kama dhaanam). This day of Kaama dahanam is celebrated as Holi. When the third eye or eye of knowledge is opened then all the impurities of the mind are destroyed. When one gets rid of Kama (or selfish desires) then they get shakti or power, this is the message and significance of Holi.

It was on this day that Holika, the sister of the demon king Hiranyakasyapu, who tried to kill the child devotee Prahlad by taking him on her lap and sitting on a pyre of wood which was set ablaze. Holika was burnt to ashes while Prahlad remained unharmed! Burn all the impurities of the mind, such as egoism, vanity and lust, through the fire of devotion and knowledge. Ignite cosmic love, mercy, generosity, selflessness, truthfulness and purity through the fire of Yogic practice. This is the real spirit of Holi. The call of Holi is to always keep ablaze the light of God-love shining in your heart. Inner illumination is the real Holi.

The fire of purity and divinity which we light on Holi must burn continuously in our hearts throughout the year. We must have an ever-burning bonfire of impurity, so that we are continuously renewed, continuously purified and continuously rejuvenated. Today is the day of real joy and immense bliss. Fill your mind with peace and heart with love and spread love and peace wherever you go. Keep yourselves happy and give happiness to others. May the joyful colors of Holi bring joy, peace and prosperity to India and the world and inspire people to tread the righteous path.
