We wish all the devotees a very Happy Ugadi, Gudhi Padwa and Cheti Chand
Shuklaambaradharam Vishnum shashi varnam chaturbhujam |
Prasanna vadanam dhyaayet sarva vighnopashaantaye |

One should meditate upon Lord Vishnu (all pervading), who has four arms (express dominion over the four directions of space; they symbolize the four stages of human life, known as ashrams : Brahamacharya, Grihastha, Vana-Prastha, Sannyasa; they also signify the four aims of life (Purusharthas) : Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha; and also represent the four Vedas. He adorns the Shanka, Chakra, Lotus and Mace as ornaments in His hands. His countenance is pure and bright because he is the remover of ignorance, arrogance and egoism, hence, He is the giver of knowledge. Let His gaze and grace be upon us all.

Yuga’ means era and ‘aadhi’ means beginning. It is the beginning of a new era or year. Depending on which part of the country we are from, we could be celebrating our traditional Hindu New Year at different times. Yugaadhi is celebrated as Gudi Padva or Vishu or Baisakhi or Puthaandu or Naba Barsha. We wish all the devotees a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! May our lives be enriched and enlightened by the Lord’s blessings.
