New Year's Message

Dear Friends,

I was looking for a suitable New Year message to guide us throughout 2015 and found this:

On the consecration day of Belur Math Swami Vivekananda carried the casket containing Master's (Sri Ramakrishna's) relics on his shoulders to the Math shrine. He sat down to do the puja. When the puja was over he addressed a few words to all assembled there, "Today the Master is installed here. Brothers, please look to this that you may be guided by him. Make yourselves fit for this, place yourselves absolutely, unreservedly, under his guidance. He wants only three things from us -- purity, sincerity, broadmindedness. Please keep on, as long as you live, paying highest regard to these. Here all faiths, all sects must be respected, harmonized. No one should be subordinated to another."
