New Year Message by HH Bhakti Charu Swami

Dear Devotees,

Please accept my best wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

We have reached a point in time when we are about to leave the old year behind and greet the New Year. Another year has come with 365 new opportunities to progress towards our spiritual destination.

Therefore, let us resolve that we are going to take full advantage of every moment that so wonderfully transforms future into present and makes it sink into the past. Let us not remain oblivious about this most wonderful opportunity by dreaming about the future and yearning
about the past. Rather let us take full advantage of the "present" by embracing it wholeheartedly as the most precious gift from the Supreme Personality of Godhead and take full advantage of it. In this respect let us remember the profound instruction of our glorious spiritual preceptor, Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur -

"Forget the past that sleeps and ne'e

The future dream at all

But act in times that are with thee

And progress thee shall call.

"

I hope this meets you well.

Yours in the service of Srila Prabhupada,

Bhakti Charu Swami
