Happy New Year 2009

As per the English Calendar the new year started. With everyone saying the same thing which i had heard the last time. Happy New Year... Happy New Year... may you be prosperous. Seems like these statements are by default used by everyone and they really don't give a second thougt before saying Happy New Year. The word Happy New Year seems to be very paradoxial to me. I see behind and find what actually was new. There was nothing new. All seem to be same old other than pubs and dicso putting some fancy banners and attractive models just to mint money and fool people. People are like same before their consciousness, their way of living, their dealings, their thoughts, nothing has changed. Then how come it's New Year. The only change is the dates have been changed instead of putting 08 it's 09.
The news paper are full of stories about killing, murder, rapes, molestation, drug deals, corruptions, people frustration and agony. These were the news from last year and on next page they are publishing have fun enjoy and celebrate new year. So much of eye wash, so much of cheating. Some body saying Happy New Year appears to me like somebody trying to decorate the dead body giving him nice suit to wear, a decent pair of shoes but really all such things doesn't make any difference. It's not something real. It's all artificial. Artificially everyone is trying to enjoy and they feel they are enjoying. Just like a hog who eats stool and consider himself happy so that is the situation.

For me, it's 1 year that has been deducted from the total time. The time is running out and still i need to go a long way on the path of self realization, self purification, still i haven't been able to develop genuine love and appreciation for the holy name, nor for the instructions of my spiritual master in real. I am not going to be young forever so this the best time to practice Krsna Conciousness and prepare for the challenges. Somehow or other i have to become humble servant of my Spiritual Master and only by His causeless mercy i can develop love for Krsna as my eternal friend. So this year the challenges remain the same.
To Chant Attentively
To Respect All Devotees
To Co operate with each devotee in order to serve the mission of Sri Caitanaya Mahaprabhu keeping personal agenda's side
and To involve myself more deeply into Krsna Consciousness.

Before my time line ends i need to fix in mind and heart in Krsna so at the close of final chapter in my life i can say goodbye by saying Hare Krsna and I have hope by Krsna's Grace that will be possible.
