New Year Thoughts
1987
Let noble thoughts come to us from all sources. May our speech be harmonious. May the Sun direct us towards excellence in action.
1995
May the God Savita (Sun) reach us in the best of activity.
1996
Goodness is the abiding value for existence. There is no greater principle of life. There is no richer experience than getting to know good people and living in constant contact with them.
1997
Beliefs are central to our action and personality. The world we live in responds to our beliefs. It is in shaping and refining our beliefs that our call and destiny lie.
Eternity is an idle craving. Transcending time is an idealist view and has little to do with our living which concerns with our rendering a creditable account of how we spent our time.
A new year born is a reminder of the passage of time. Be it in business or personal life, time well spent brings handsome rewards.
To spend the time purposefully and with full attention to what is taken on hand is a worthy aim.
1998
Dharma protects
those that protect it.
We act quite
often out of emotional necessities than on rational considerations. It is
difficult to explain why we acted in a particular way.
There is no need to regret the past just as it is equally futile to exult in the glory of the past.
2001
To begin and to
end aptly are always difficult. To depart gracefully when one’s job is done or
when one is required no longer calls for character.
A new year may
not always be an occasion to begin; one may look forward to close a chapter.
When the chips
are down, it is what we are that matters. What we are is what we have been
doing. To do well whatever we do is the only useful lesson of life.
2002
मौनं हि प्रकटितं व्याख्यानम् शिष्याः छिन्नसंशयाः
Few appreciate the power of silence, silence that is pregnant and
communicative.
We need to enshrine freedom of silence in the constitution.
A year of the third millennium has passed away. It was like any other.
2003
‘May we always serve humanity without demanding the price of our service.’ Rig Veda.
Ad majorem Dei glorian: - to the glory of God (Jesuit motto)
2005
सर्वे जनाः सुखिनो भवन्तु सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग् भवेत्
May all people be happy; may everyone be free from fear; may all see
good; may no one suffer sorrow.
Let it be a non-stop occurrence of auspiciousness.
Happiness is a state of mind. Fear destroys happiness. Good is in
perception more than in what we see. No one should be dealt sadness.
This is a lofty prayer that has come down to us by hearsay. May this message go round universally. May everyone learn to be happy, free themselves from fear, see the good in everything and make everyone else happy.
2006
Make no
resolutions and break none.
Speak ill of
none or nothing.
காய் பழமாகி மரத்திலிருந்து பிரிகிறது. அது போல ஞானம் காலப்போக்கில் வரும். பற்று அறும்.
2008
Just Be. Be just happy.
2009
TRUTH ALONE
TRIUMPHS
Satyameva Jayate.
What is truth?
What is triumph?
That from which
everything emanates and finds refuge in is truth. Bliss is triumph. Bliss is
realised by one who has attained to truth.
2011
All is for
Good.
2012
“May I talk not
