Welcome 2024 with a new hope, a renewed enthusiasm and a genuine smile. Take lessons from events past. Then just let go and free your mind of these. Move forward for life is evergreen. No storm or snow can wither away its leaves. Similarly, our spirit is eternal and moves forward, through personal or social grief, and emerges powerful.

Learn and unlearn from the past and make your resolutions for the New Year: First, realize that our foremost priority is to check violence in the world, to free the world from domestic and societal violence. Second, help those who are in need and bring solace to those who are suffering.

Third, pledge that you will stand up and take responsibility for your planet and protect the environment, the society, and the country. Fourth, have the conviction that you can rise above any situation or circumstance. Fifth, make a commitment to whatever you take up, and an integrity inside which says you will see your commitments through. For when you take on responsibility, nature grants power to you.

Sixth, take some time to walk by yourself every day. Nurture yourself with music, prayer and silence. A few minutes of meditation, pranayama and yoga will heal and rejuvenate you and release you from the clutches of stress.

Finally, always remember that you belong to the Divine and the Divine will take care of you. Let me say Happy New Year with a small poem:

Look into the eyes of the Divine and see, does love shine in them for you or not,

Take a step forward but once and see whether you find your path or not,

Reach out to help others and see whether your work is accomplished or not,

Smile with love but once and see, whether the world embraces you or not,

Take the Divine’s name but once and see whether your life becomes a celebration or not.
