CELEBRATING THE FESTIVAL OF THE ADVENT OF NEW VEDIC YEAR
Welcome the New Year by celebrating Samvatsararambh: Chaitra Shukla Pratipada
From: Swami Shyamendra - swamishyamendra@gmail.com;
1, 95, 58,85,113rd ON MARCH 23 , 2012 FOR GLOBAL UNITY
With the discovery of The Dead Sea Scrolls and broadcasting of Psycho-analysis of Jesus , Gospel and prophets of monotheistic religions by world class psychologists such as Nietzsche , Hirsche, Sangle , Loosten , Freud , Jung and Jasper as well as Dr. Somar have concluded that all the way from Abraham , Moses , Joshua , Elijah , Jeremiah , Ezekiel , Ezra , Henoch to Jesus , were mentally disturbed people .
Actually , the latest study has declared --- they were having waves of bad temper and habitually intolerant , domineering , vindictive , pedantic , meticulous people . Dr. Somar's psychological study of Jesus reveals that he had a mental problem of sneaking development of persistent and unassailable delusion system . So , thought clarity was missing. Jesus had morbid world view . He was quick tempered , ego centric, loved everyone only below him . He out of his resentment utters threats against rich , powerful and well established , cursing even the tree .He appears naïve , dreamy , lack of balance , somewhat secretive often full of resentment and hate .
Bible describes Moses ---- He flew into rage when his men killed all males of Midianite people [Who had given him shelter years before ] but left women with their children alive . Moses ordered them to kill all children with all married women and keep virgins for themselves to enjoy sex.
Moses never allowed people to see Mt. Sinai [ where he got co called 10 commandments ] it was sealed off. He was guilty of slaughter of 3000 people . Same was his successor Joshua . Prophet Elijah was a panic monger , impulsive man . He knew how to impress and fool crowds .
According to Gita and Upanishads God- men are very humble , selfless , vegetarian , no wine , no drug and high character people.
Where as Biblical prophets are cases of paranoid psychosis or paraphrenia with slightly schizophrenic shift which are far away syndromes of even normal beginners of Yoga or Vedic Hindu Dharma then what to speak of God realized men.
The purpose of my giving you this information is to let you know that monotheistic religions are
Not actually religions but imperialistic procedures of brain programming for very selfish purpose , masquerading as religions and therefore you are requested to rise above Macalyite brand misleading brain washing kind of education and false propagandas against Hindus and
Hinduism which the stalinists historians and missionaries have hurled upon the western intelligentsia . So that you can be free from mental pollutions to participate in the festival of Cosmic New Year's Day . It is not just marry making only one day but prove to be fountain of solution to most of our ferociously standing problems of the world . Rejoice , we are here to provide you the true history of humanity according to the Vedas – the oldest religion of the world.
According to the Vedas we must celebrate our 1,95 , 58 , 85 ,113 rd anniversary of the advent of human civilization on March 23rd 2012. This means the oldest --- one common ancestor of humanity informs us that one billion , ninety five million , fifty eight lacs , eighty five thousand , one hundred and thirteen years ago the humanity was born. .
Plz dismiss the intellectual bankruptcy –product Theory of Evolution or Big Bang Theory or Aryan Invasion Theory along with other Christian- Moslem- Stalinist- concocted false and corrupt images of Hinduism.
These are just theories , not the truth , not even facts . Aryan Invasion Theory is a fraud against humanity and deceit of worst kind. It has harmed immensely to entire humanity . A social fraud on India .
So , what is the fact ?
The fact is this ----
400 , 000 kinds of humans , 2000,000 kinds of trees , 1100 ,000 kinds of birds and flies and insects , 3000, 000 kinds of animals were born within short period of time .
After this on Wednesday on the 9th of bright fortnight of Kartik month , Satya Yuga started for 1 ,72 ,8 000 years .This day is celebrated in India even to this day nonstop thru out thousands of years. The Yogis who were born then and still living yogis of Mahavatar Baba caliber say that normal people lived for round about 15 000 years and their height was about 21ft. There were no records of disease , dishonesty , pollution ,catastrophes or any of the 3 kinds of afflictions. Most of people of any class were free to migrate to any country or planet and live there as long as he or she liked.
Interplanetary marriages were common. They did not always need airplane [ although there were will driven and other kinds of airplanes ] to travel.
They just focused their awareness in certain plexus and told the Existence ''if I am truly honest or if I love so and so with all my heart then by the power of this truth let me reach up to that planet or any place of the world '' And the Existence was bound to facilitate the trip or fulfill the wish . Each lady , each gent , even teen agers were so independent and free that almighty nature was suppose to fulfill their wish or get in trouble .
The Government was just for show. He used to be puppets not in the hands of some party or gang or victims of dhimmitude as today but in the hands of every cosmic conscious citizen.
Most ladies belonged to Padmini grade of beauty and grace. I travelled around and never saw a single Padmini lady . It means this race of unique manifestation of astounding and stunning beauty is now extinct.
Pushkar was the most visited power spot for holy pilgrimage.
The bramhans were able to perform the impossible task by their invincible blessing or even curse .
The Ksatriyas were able to win a ferocious lion single handedly without using weapon and if fell in neck deep love they challenged for battle even if he was some demigod or king of other planet if he was barrier in their sacred union with the loved one.
The Vaishyas were helping society by enterprising creating wealth with honesty and compassion . No one donated less than $ 10, 000 .
The Shudras were establishing relationship with the Cosmic by working with selfless service full attitude .
This VARNA system is viciously translated as caste system staying blind folded at the great difference.
Varna is psychological and metaphysical with its little social facet , a natural division of society based on predominant psychological traits and spiritual quality .
Whereas caste is rigid social enforcement…
Study of comparative religions today is a political weapon to white wash the differences and divisions.
The basic conflicting dogmas remain unchallenged . Monotheistic prophetic aggressions are not questioned . Researches on the all- problem - solving mysteries and secrets of Hindu Dharma is never made fully and honestly . Whenever they did they failed to give credit to Hindu Dharma. They misinform and misguide students explaining it as one of the bunch of
religions founded upon harmful compulsive mental and psychic formations.
When Varna system was well set in Satya Yuga freedom , equality , security , fearlessness , co operation, community life and spiritual well being were naturally ensured .
That 's why all foreign travelers who visited Hindu India before Moslem Christian invasions have praised the social and national system of India . The latest you can read Alberunie .
Chronicles record there were 32000 sun eclipses and 5000 moon eclipses.
Four divine incarnations blessed this Millennium .
On the 3rd of dark fortnight of Vaishakh month Treta Yuga started for 1, 29 , 6 ooo years . Dharma -- the yogic lifestyle or righteousness which is interconnected with supernatural power was reduced from 100% to 75% . This effected the environment . Lifetime of citizens was reduced to mere 10,000 years. Their height was reduced to about 15ft. As long as bone was available dead men was brought to life again. Intergalactic communications and travellings were not easy as before but there were still frequent travels and normal communications between all dimensions of Existence. Naimisaranya was the biggest power spot for sacred vacationing. There were 3200 solar and 500 lunar eclipses and 3 Divine incarnations took place in this millennium. As for as beauty of the ladies was judgd Chitrini class of ladies were highly admired.
On the 15th of dark fort night of Magh month , Friday midnight Dwapar Yuga started for 8 , 64000 years . Life time of people reduced to 1000 to a couple of hundred years . Kuruksetra became the venerated holy spot for pilgrimage. As long as a piece of flesh remained
the dead man was brought to life if some expert so desired. There were 320 and 50 solar ,lunar eclipses . Shankhini ladies were admired who were so sensitive , so fragile at heart who fell in love with single sight and love lasted to the last breath. Only selected , integrated
persons were able to go on interplanetary trips . Only advanced Yogis and only one – man women were able to bestow invincible blessing or curse
. Only one Divine incarnation took place in this Millennium .
On the 13th of dark fortnight of Bhadra month , Sunday midnight Kali Yuga started 5113 years ago. Dharma in life is reduced to only 25% still continuously diminishing . Intergalactic travelling became possible only with astral body or after death.
Confused people do not believe even to that .For the first 2 000 years sky walking only around the earth was possible . Now even that technique is lost. Our freedom is restricted now by tools , machines, taxes , wealth and countless law enforcements . Our lifetime became limited to around 100 years and even less .
Until the breath is stopped you can be brought back to life. Size of the body is now reduced to 6 to 5 ft only. If Dharma is not restored humans height will keep reducing to the size of pigmies. Life span will become maximum 40 to 25 years. Imposters will keep claiming false predictions of world anihilations.
All the way from Jehovah Witness founder Charles Russell's prediction of Jesus return in 1874 and his establishing God's Christian empire by 1914 was failed . His successor Franklin's extension of same prediction in 1920 also failed . But he raised billions of dollars and built royal
mansions for Abraham , Isaac , Jacob etc and convinced the Westerners they are sure to return in 1925 because now we have homes for them .
But the poor fellow's heart was broken when prophets did not return.
Nothen Knorr an other church leader predicted major devastation of the world in 1975 to be fallowed by Christian God 's empire . It failed.
Another leader predicted destruction of the world in 1986 . Badly failed. Every time failures are cunningly rationalized by believers.
This is how from Jeremiah thru Jesus, Paul, Jehovah 's Witness and apocalypses to even Nostradamus predictions for world destruction in 1999 have repeatedly failed.
Question arises why Christian and Moslem prophecies have been falsified again and again?
Because , their verdicts are not arising from genuine wisdom or mystic trance. They arise from selfish motives , uncertain opinion or unrightous faith or caused by psycho-pathological delusions.
They should try to remedy their depressed position with real solution from Hindu Dharma which tells us do not worry about global annihilation for 42,68,87 years . Hindu Dharma says --- Four billion years are called one kalpa or one cosmic day . It is one day of not God but the creator our original ancestor. One cosmic day comprises of fourteen Manus --the one common ancestor of all humanity.
Each Manu's lifetime extends for 71 Cycles of 4 Yugas [mentioned above] including 15 conjunction periods . A small deluge comes at the end of every Kali Yuga .
So it is not honest to scare people all the time just to squeeze out few billion silly bux from those who are already so poor paying so many taxes , bills and living everywhere.
One Kalpa is one day of the creator [who is not God but one of His employees and if you want that post it is available . Qualification is indicated in the chronicles ] who has now completed his 50th year and running in his fifty first year , first month , first fortnight , first day and about 3 hours 40 minutes have passed and some seconds are passing . It will take quarter of a million years to complete his minute.
In this year Governments will be as usual very unwisely battling with home grown and imported terrorisms , agitations and revolutions . Intellectuals world over will be obsessed with dhimmitude and giving wrong advises to the Governments yet keep feeling pity over the follies
of political leaders. More diseases, more taxes, more problems will surface .
At the same time more honest people from round the world will be arising searching for the Truth , enlightenment or a new meaning to their life. So , Have a happy new year dear friends ---This greeting is being sent to you from Swami Shyamendra of Rishikesh, INDIA .
It has nothing new in the text. In my early teen age what i have been hearing sitting togather with our large family every year from a edic scholer invited by my Rev father , that 's all i have written hecking out the latest calander of Banaras Hindu University. If you have questions on his statements email him --swamishyamendra@gmail.com
He is soon releasing Enews Letter which will be sent to any one who will request for it...

विनोद बंसल
पाश्चात्य देशों के अंधानुकरण व अंग्रेजियत के बढते प्रभाव के बावजूद भी आज चाहे बच्चे के गर्भाधान की बात हो या जन्म की, नामकरण की बात हो या शादी की, गृह प्रवेश की हो या व्यापार प्रारम्भ करने की, सभी में हम एक कुशल पंडित के पास जाकर शुभ लग्न व मुहूर्त पूछते हैं। और तो और, देश के बडे से बडे राजनेता भी सत्तासीन होने के लिए सबसे पहले एक अच्छे मुहूर्त का इंतजार करते हैं जो कि विशुध्द रूप से विक्रमी संवत् के पंचांग पर आधारित होता है। भारतीय मान्यतानुसार कोई भी काम यदि शुभ मुहूर्त में प्रारम्भ किया जाये तो उसकी सफलता में चार चांद लग जाते हैं। वैसे भी भारतीय संस्कृति श्रेष्ठता की उपासक है। जो प्रसंग समाज में हर्ष व उल्लास जगाते हुए एक सही दिशा प्रदान करते हैं उन सभी को हम उत्सव के रूप में मनाते हैं। राष्ट्र के स्वाभिमान व देश प्रेम को जगाने वाले अनेक प्रसंग चैत्र मास के शुक्ल पक्ष की प्रतिपदा से जुडे हुए हैं। यह वह दिन है जिस दिन से भारतीय नव वर्ष प्रारम्भ होता है। आइये इस दिन की महानता के प्रसंगों को देखते हैं :-
ऐतिहासिक महत्व:
1) सृष्टि रचना का पहला दिन : आज से एक अरब 97 करोड़, 39 लाख 49 हजार 110 वर्ष पूर्व इसी दिन के सूर्योदय से ब्रह्मा जी ने जगत की रचना इसी दिन की थी।
2) प्रभु राम का राज्याभिषेक दिवस : प्रभु राम ने भी इसी दिन को लंका विजय के बाद अयोध्या आने के बाद राज्याभिषेक के लिये चुना।
3) नवरात्र स्थापना : शक्ति और भक्ति के नौ दिन अर्थात्, नवरात्र स्थापना का पहला दिन यही है। प्रभु राम के जन्मदिन रामनवमी से पूर्व नौ दिन उत्सव मनाने का प्रथम दिन।
4) गुरू अंगददेव जी का प्रकटोत्सव : सिख परंपरा के द्वितीय गुरू का जन्मदिवस।
5) आर्य समाज स्थापना दिवस : समाज को श्रेष्ठ (आर्य) मार्ग पर ले जाने हेतु स्वामी दयानंद सरस्वती ने इसी दिन को आर्य समाज स्थापना दिवस के रूप में चुना।
6) संत झूलेलाल जन्म दिवस : सिंध प्रान्त के प्रसिध्द समाज रक्षक वरूणावतार संत झूलेलाल इसी दिन प्रकट हुए।
7) डा0 हैडगेबार जन्म दिवस : राष्ट्रीय स्वयं सेवक संध के संस्थापक डा0 केशव राव बलीराम हैडगेबार का जन्मदिवस।
शालिवाहन संवत्सर का प्रारंभ दिवस : विक्रमादित्य की भांति शालिवाहन ने हूणों को परास्त कर दक्षिण भारत में श्रेष्ठतम राज्य स्थापित करने हेतु यही दिन चुना।
9) युगाब्द संवत्सर का प्रथम दिन : 5111 वर्ष पूर्व युधिष्ठिर का राज्याभिषेक भी इसी दिन हुआ।
प्राकृतिक महत्व: पतझड की समाप्ति के बाद वसंत ऋतु का आरंभ वर्ष प्रतिपदा से ही होता है। शरद ऋतु के प्रस्थान व ग्रीष्म के आगमन से पूर्व वसंत अपने चरम पर होता है। फसल पकने का प्रारंभ यानि किसान की मेहनत का फल मिलने का भी यही समय होता है।
आघ्यात्मिक महत्व :
हमारे ऋषि-मुनियों ने इस दिन के आध्यात्मिक महत्व के कारण ही वर्ष प्रतिपदा से ही नौ दिन तक शुध्द-सात्विक जीवन जीकर शक्ति की आराधना तथा निर्धन व दीन दुखियों की सेवा हेतु हमें प्रेरित किया। प्रात: काल यज्ञ, दिन में विविध प्रकार के भंडारे कर भूखों को भोजन तथा सायं-रात्रि शक्ति की उपासना का विधान है। असंख्य भक्तजन तो पूरे नौ दिन तक बिना कोई अन्न ग्रहण कर वर्षभर के लिए एक असीम शक्ति का संचय करते हैं। अष्टमी या नवमीं के दिन मां दुर्गा के रूप नौ कन्याओं व एक लांगुरा (किशोर) का पूजन कर आदर पूर्वक भोजन करा दक्षिणा दी जाती है।
वैज्ञानिक महत्व :
विश्व में सौर मण्डल के ग्रहों व नक्षत्रों की चाल व निरन्तर बदलती उनकी स्थिति पर ही हमारे दिन, महीने, साल और उनके सूक्ष्मतम भाग आधारित होते हैं। इसमें खगोलीय पिण्डों की गति को आधार बनाया गया है। हमारे मनीषियों ने पूरे भचक्र अर्थात 360 डिग्री को 12 बराबर भागों में बांटा जिसे राशि कहा गया। प्रत्येक राशि तीस डिग्री की होती है जिनमें पहली का नाम मेष है। एक राशि में सवा दो नक्षत्र होते हैं। पूरे भचक्र को 27 नक्षत्रों में बांटा गया। एक नक्षत्र 13 डिग्री 20 मिनिट का होता है तथा प्रत्येक नक्षत्र को पुन: 4 चरणों में बांटा गया है जिसका एक चरण 3 डिग्री 20 मिनिट का होता है। जन्म के समय जो राशि पूर्व दिशा में होती है उसे लग्न कहा जाता है। इसी वैज्ञानिक और गणितीय आधार पर विश्व की प्राचीनतम कालगणना की स्थापना हुई।
एक जनवरी से प्रारम्भ होने वाली काल गणना को हम ईस्वी सन् के नाम से जानते हैं जिसका सम्बन्ध ईसाई जगत् व ईसा मसीह से है। इसे रोम के सम्राट जूलियस सीजर द्वारा ईसा के जन्म के तीन वर्ष बाद प्रचलन में लाया गया। भारत में ईस्वी सम्वत् का प्रचलन अग्रेंजी शासकों ने 1752 में किया। अधिकांश राष्ट्रो के ईसाई होने और अग्रेंजों के विश्वव्यापी प्रभुत्व के कारण ही इसे विश्व के अनेक देशों ने अपनाया। 1752 से पहले ईस्वी सन् 25 मार्च से शुरू होता था किन्तु 18वीं सदी से इसकी शुरूआत एक जनवरी से होने लगी। ईस्वी कलेण्डर के महीनों के नाम में प्रथम छ: माह यानि जनवरी से जून रोमन देवताओं (जोनस, मार्स व मया इत्यादि) के नाम पर हैं। जुलाई और अगस्त रोम के सम्राट जूलियस सीजर तथा उनके पौत्र आगस्टस के नाम पर तथा सितम्बर से दिसम्बर तक रोमन संवत् के मासों के आधार पर रखे गये। जुलाई और अगस्त, क्योंकि सम्राटों के नाम पर थे इसलिए, दोनों ही इकत्तीस दिनों के माने गये आखिर क्या आधार है इस काल गणना का? यह तो ग्रहों व नक्षत्रों की स्थिति पर आधारित होनी चाहिए।
ग्रेगेरियन कलेण्डर की काल गणना मात्र दो हजार वर्षों के अति अल्प समय को दर्शाती है। जबकि यूनान की काल गणना 3581 वर्ष, रोम की 2758 वर्ष यहूदी 5769 वर्ष, मिश्र की 28672 वर्ष, पारसी 189976 वर्ष तथा चीन की 96002306 वर्ष पुरानी है। इन सबसे अलग यदि भारतीय काल गणना की बात करें तो हमारे ज्योतिष के अनुसार पृथ्वी की आयु एक अरब 97 करोड़, 39 लाख 49 हजार 110 वर्ष है। हमारे प्रचीन ग्रंथों में एक-एक पल की गणना की गयी है।
जिस प्रकार ईस्वी सम्वत् का सम्बन्ध ईसा जगत से है उसी प्रकार हिजरी सम्वत् का सम्बन्ध मुस्लिम जगत और हजरत मुहम्मद साहब से है। किन्तु विक्रमी सम्वत् का सम्बन्ध किसी भी धर्म से न हो कर सारे विश्व की प्रकृति, खगोल सिध्दांत व ब्रह्माण्ड के ग्रहों व नक्षत्रों से है। इसलिए भारतीय काल गणना पंथ निरपेक्ष होने के साथ सृष्टि की रचना व राष्ट्र की गौरवशाली परम्पराओं को दर्शाती है। इतना ही नहीं, ब्रह्माण्ड के सबसे पुरातन ग्रंथ वेदों में भी इसका वर्णन है। नव संवत् यानि संवत्सरों का वर्णन यजुर्वेद के 27वें व 30वें अध्याय के मंत्र क्रमांक क्रमश: 45 व 15 में विस्तार से दिया गया है। क्या एक जनवरी के साथ ऐसा एक भी प्रसंग जुड़ा है जिससे राष्ट्र प्रेम जाग सके, स्वाभिमान जाग सके या श्रेष्ठ होने का भाव जाग सके ?
कैसे मनाऐं नया साल:
नव वर्ष की पूर्व संध्या पर दीप दान करें। घरों में सायंकाल 7 बजे घंटा घडियाल व शंख बजा कर मंगल ध्वनि करके इसका जोरदार स्वागत करें। भवनों व व्यावसायिक स्थलों पर भगवा पताका फहराऐं तथा द्वारों पर विक्रमी संवत 2069 की शुभ कामना सूचक वाक्य लिखें। होर्डिंग, बैनरों, बधाई पत्रों, ई-मेल व एस एम एस के द्वारा नव वर्ष की बधाई व शुभ कामनाऐं प्रेषित करें। नव वर्ष की प्रात: सूर्योदय से पूर्व उठकर मंगलाचरण कर सूर्य देव को प्रणाम करें, प्रभात फेरियां निकालें, हवन करें तथा एक पवित्र संकल्प लें। भारत में अनेक स्थानों पर इस दिन से नौ दिन का श्री राम महोत्सव भी मनाते हैं जिसका समापन श्री राम नवमी के दिन होता है।
तो, आइये! विदेशी को फैंक स्वदेशी अपनाऐं और गर्व के साथ भारतीय नव वर्ष यानि विक्रमी संवत् को ही मनायें तथा इसका अधिक से अधिक प्रचार करें।
dr.rajesh kapoor
अति शोभनं, अति उत्तम. सही, सार्थक व सामयिक. ईसा संवत किसी प्रकार से भी सृष्टि के काल चक्र के अनुरूप नहीं है. पहले तो इसमें केवल १० मास ही होते थे और जनवरी , फ़रवरी बाद में जोड़ कर किसी प्रकार सामंजस्य बिठाया गया. अस्तु विद्वान लेखक के इस सामयिक व सारगर्भित लेख हेतु बधाई.
बहुत अच्छी जानकारी दी है श्री बंसल जी ने. वाकई आज के समय में यह संवत लोगो को याद है तो यह भी बड़ा सुखद विषय है. यह बात अलग है की अधिकांश लोग सिर्फ और सिर्फ विक्रम संवत का नाम जानते है क्योंकि हर पूजा पाठ में विक्रम संवत वर्ष का नाम लिया जाता है
विश्व के एक सर्वाधिक वैज्ञानिक, सनातन नववर्ष की आपको अग्रिम में शुभकामनाएं.
दुर्भाग्य से भारत में भी लोग ३१ दिसंबर की रात के अँधेरे और नशे से धुत्त होकर नए साल का स्वागत करने को आतुर रहते हैं. इनको नवप्रभात में नई ऊर्जा और सूरज के उजाले में नव वर्ष स्वागत की यह रीत कहाँ सुहाएगी??
Welcome the New Year by celebrating Samvatsararambh: Chaitra Shukla Pratipada
Celebrations on the eve of the Western New Year, that is 1st January, is accepted by Hindus as a day of celebration for them as well. They make big plans for this day, with regards to shopping, eating at a restaurant, taking a vacation, etc. And mind you this is not only in big cities, it is also happening in villages, which do not even have the basic amenities of regular electricity and water supply ! By aping the West you are not only destroying your own tradition but are also impressing materialistic values upon the future generation. Hindus are completely in the dark about this fact. This article is therefore meant to highlight these facts.
'Conversion' for a day!
When a person converts to a new religion he begins to follow the customs and celebrates festivals of that religion. In the same way, in neglecting our own customs if we Hindus start celebrating Christmas or New Year as per the Christian calendar, then even if it be for a day we too are like converts to Christianity ! Hindus are completely oblivious to the fact that they will have to face the demerits of neglecting their own rituals and of being anti-Hindu, for following the materialistic 'Western days of celebration'. Today, to create respect for their religion and Dharma amongst Hindus, religious education is an absolute necessity.
Hindus endow more importance to 31st December !
Nowadays, from the young to the old, all wish each other a 'Happy New Year' or send greeting cards, on the night of 31st December; but Chaitra Shukla Pratipada is the New Year as per our Hindu culture. They consider this as a prestige point. In fact you will find only a handful of Hindus greeting each other on the occasion of Chaitra Shukla Pratipada.
Parents of the materialistic new generation are in hibernation !
As per the Hindu religion every auspicious event begins with ritualistic worship at the auspicious time (Brahma muhurta), which is on awakening at dawn, after a bath, wearing clean attire and ornaments. As a result, the sattva component in the atmosphere creates good impressions on the doer.
On the eve of the Western New Year people drink and make merry, in other words spend the night enjoying the pleasures of life. Thus automatically impressions of materialism are created on their subconscious minds. Besides, since at night the atmosphere is tama predominant the tama component in them grows. People are unaware of this because of the lack of religious education; the young generation falls prey to this materialism, fun and frolic. Their parents too are completely oblivious about what is happening to their children.
Destroy the invasion of foreign culture in the form of the demon Ravan
Today the Hindu religion is being attacked on all fronts, influence by Western culture being the most invasive. It is the duty of each and every Hindu to combat this attack. Just as on the day of Gudhi Padva Lord Rama killed the demon Ravan and returned to Ayodhya to hoist the flag of victory, so also Hindus must now combat Ravan who has assumed the form of Western cultural invasion and raise the Gudhi this year !
Hindus! Live as a true Hindu at least for a day !
On this day one can take note of the 'do's' and don'ts' given below -
1. Do not wish a fellow Hindu 'Happy New Year' either on 31st December or 1st January.
2. If a fellow Hindu greets you that way, take time to explain to him how this is wrong and impress upon him that Chaitra Shukla Pratipada is actually our new year.
3. Instead of sending New Year greetings to relatives and friends for 1st January, do it on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada.
4. Ensure that you pass on this valuable information to your near and dear ones, thus preventing them from sinning by celebrating New Year on a day other than our real New Year.
5. Remember that ushering in the New Year on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada will help you develop pride in your religion, nation and language.

Samvatsararambh: Chaitra Shukla Pratipada
--------------------------------------------
From: Srimanthan Protest - srimanthan@yahoo.com;
The unscientific, illogical English calendar is the symbol of British Imperialism and perhaps most of the Bharatiyas like you are yet to resist this colonial hangover. Christmas is purely RELIGIOUS festival which is dead against humanism. This World is for all, not for a sect -- I believe this strongly.

Thoughts to consider for new year 2012 to act on
From: Kalpesh Desai - kal_desai@yahoo.com;
| Please consider following thoughts and ideas as you write the resolutions' for new year 2012: · Just like God HELPS those, who HELP themselves; please remember that all the people in the world RESPECT those who RESPECT themselves. · If WE want the rest of the world to RESPECT our motherland Bhaarat, history, culture, religions, and people, WE need to RESPECT our motherland, history, culture, religions, and people FIRST. · RAISE self-awareness about what is going on in our motherland Bhaarat. · BRAINSTORM and follow own CONSCIENCE to figure out what WE CAN Do to RAISE/INCREASE every bhaaratiya's "ASMITA" (self-esteem, self-respect, and self-control). · THINK TWICE before we criticize other fellow Bhaaratiya. Is my criticism constructive, productive, and positive? Is my criticism going to destruct and/or hurt their self-respect, and hurt Image of Bhaarat? · Character Deficit of People is more important for the health of the society and country as a whole. Hence, we need think about what CAN BE DONE to improve own and all the bhaaratiya's character (chaaritrya). Turn off the TV programs, and don't watch movies, which don't help to improve/enhance character. And replace those shows/movies with positive ones that help us to improve our character/asmita. · SHARE thoughts, ideas, and news, which will enhance IMAGE of INDIA with everyone you know via word of mouth, email, blog, etc. · Establish own personal criteria to filter out negative association of people, reading, hearing, and watching news. · One of things we CAN DO to achieve above mentioned goals is to TEACH our children our mother tongue language, e.g. Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, or whatever it may be. · Second thing we CAN Do is to appreciate each other and every fellow Bhaaratiya, and treat each other as what WE CAN BE rather than what WE ARE. · Wish you all the BEST of health, wealth, happiness, and peace, may God bless the United Bhaarat in the coming new year 2012. Please share these thoughts/ideas with your Bhaaratiya family and friends, if you think/believe they are worth sharing. Most importantly, if they are worth being acted upon, then resolve to act on them in the new year 2012. Kalpesh |

Observe 1st January as the Day of Sri Ramakrishna's Self Revelation – Kalpataru Diwas. Must not celebrate a meaningless New Years day.
Origins of Christmas. Is it a ancient Pagan Sun festival.

If "secular" Britain can, why can't "secular" India too with its Hindus?
".....while Britain is a secular society in practice the British state is Christian with an established church headed by the Queen. The only religious figures with the right to sit in Parliament are Christian. As many as 26 Church of England bishops, known as Lords Spiritual, sit in the House of Lords and read prayers at the start of each daily meeting. Sittings in both Houses of Parliament begin with Christian prayers." - http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/columns/Hasan_Suroor/article2920550.ece
