GURUJI'S MESSAGE ON UGADI PARVA PUJA (Indian New Year)
古儒吉於祈福儀式時的訊息(印度新年)
Guruji conducted Rudrabhisheka today on 1st day of Chaitra Shukla Paksha according to Indian Calender. This is the first day of the New Year. At the end of puja Bhanu Didi went on stage to do Aarati of Guruji and a devotee started singing 'Abhayam Abhayam Amma Amma" Gradually Guruji came into BHAVA with a gentle deep smile on face and Abhaya Mudra. After the Aarati some naration was made from Panchang by pandits.
古儒吉在今日印度曆新年Chaitra Shukla Paksha(註1)的第一天進行Rudrabhisheka(註2)，今天是新年的第一天，祝福儀式結束前Bhanu Didi(古儒吉的妹妹)上台祝福古儒吉同時信眾們開始唱誦 'Abhayam Abhayam Amma Amma"漸漸地古儒吉臉上帶著微笑及無畏印(註3)進入四有(註4)。祝福結束後倒敍一些梵學家所創的印度星象曆。
Guruji spoke:
古儒吉說：
" We are entering into 5110 year of Krishna calender and 2066 year of Vikrama Samvata. These are Moon and Sun based ancient Calenders followed in India. This year is named as 'Virodhi" year from the cycle of 60 years.
我們已進入第5110克里希納年及第2066 Vikrama Samvata年。這是印度根據古法曆法所遵循的日月法則。今年是六十年一輪的Virodhi(相違)年。
But who ever is a Devotee and Spiritual practitioner, this year will not prove to be Virodhi. This year the devotees and Spiritual people must give top priority to Meditation and spiritual practices as compared to Material goals. Few percent of Devotees and Spiritual person's practices will not only protect them but bring Peace and Prosparity to all the other people.
但是身為虔信者及靈修者，今年並不會顯得矛盾衝突。今年虔信者及靈修者需首先考慮的是將靜坐及靈修練習放在生活目標首位，一少部份虔信者及靈修人將不止因為練習而受到保護同時因此得到寧靜同時能昌盛所有他人。
Happy New Year. Jai Guru Dev."
新年快樂! Jai Guru Dev
