Wishing A Happy New Year 2011 To All Of You

Hare Krishna!!


We, at Sri Krishna Mandir, would like to wish all the devotees a happy new year 2011!

Although we always wish that we have a happy new year or month or day, difficulties always arise and we are thus more and more entangled in materialistic life. All these difficulties are nothing but reactions to sinful activities that we perform. How to come out of all these difficulties?

Lord Krishna declares in the Bhagavad Gita (18.66):

sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah

TRANSLATION
Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.

This is the only way to become truly happy. So therefore, if one really wants a happy new year, one must chant

| Hare Krishna Hare Krishna |
|| Krishna Krishna Hare Hare ||
| Hare Rama Hare Rama |
|| Rama Rama Hare Hare ||
