Let us permit Gurudeva to transform our lives by devotedly practicing his teachings and by being receptive to his abundant love and blessings.

Gurudeva has counselled: “In those little gaps of time when you are free from the necessities and responsibilities of life, don’t waste time by always turning on the radio, or the television, or picking up the telephone to gossip with a friend. Use those times for God instead. Even if it is just one minute or three minutes, sit down and meditate, or just turn the consciousness within, and let the thoughts rest on God. In those few moments, feel such devotion, such love and longing for God, that the whole world recedes, and you know that the only reality is He.”

Wishing your loved ones and you a very blessed, physically, mentally, materially and spiritually rewarding New Year.

Divine love and best wishes.
