New Year with New Positive Waves....

Corona has gone with the wind; so many natural calamities have passed, and we have lost many people at a young age. Crimes and cruelty have peaked, we are losing values, and relationships are becoming more insecure. The worst part is that we are losing faith in God, as well as in ourselves, and becoming absorbed in the world of selfies. Our school teachers used to tell us that our community on this planet can only survive if there is communication and connection. Over time, the world has become smaller due to digital innovations, making connections easier and faster. However, communication has decreased and has become more challenging to manage. The time has come for all of us to change. Communication and connection need to be in sync, accompanied by a positive attitude. Just as global warming, river cleansing, water conservation, and pollution reduction are essential for improving our health, cleansing our mindset is equally important. Prioritizing both physical and mental health is crucial to nurturing our souls, becoming better human beings, and fostering deeper soul connections through meaningful communication.

The best lessons in communication I have learned are from hearing-impaired kids, who genuinely struggle to communicate with the hearing society. On the 18th  January 2025, at the Mukesh Patel Auditorium, NMIMS, Vile Parle West, we have planned to organize a dance competition for underprivileged hearing-impaired children. This year, the concept they have been given to perform is "One Earth, One Family, One Future." More than 300 kids will take the stage. In our view, who better than them to show the world that we all are one family on one earth? They exemplify the need to do our best to be part of this universe with humility, spreading kindness and love to build a brighter future. The enthusiasm they have for life—leaving behind caste, community, and cultural differences—is truly unimaginable. When will we, like them, initiate this kind of boundless enthusiasm?

As we step into a new year, the profound words, “For last year’s words belong to last year’s language. And next year’s words await another voice,” remind us of the importance of renewal and growth. Each new year presents an opportunity to let go of past burdens, embrace change, and welcome new beginnings with positivity and hope. The challenges, failures, and lessons of the past year are stepping stones, not weights. This year, let us harness the power of fresh perspectives and vibrant energies to create a world filled with kindness, empathy, and resilience. Just as the waves in the ocean never stop moving, our lives, too, are meant to flow forward with purpose. Let’s ride the new positive waves with determination, building stronger connections, nurturing our mental and physical well-being, and setting meaningful goals. The end of one chapter is merely the beginning of another—brighter, better, and more aligned with our aspirations.

And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been. These words inspire us to approach the future with a sense of wonder and possibility. Each new year is a blank canvas, brimming with untapped opportunities, unseen challenges, and unimagined growth. It’s a reminder that no matter how much we’ve experienced, there is always more to discover and create. As the hearing-impaired children demonstrate through their boundless enthusiasm and unity, every moment offers a chance to bring something new into existence—be it a connection, an act of kindness, or a spark of creativity. This new year calls us to embrace the unknown with courage, to build bridges where none exist, and to explore paths untraveled. Let us step forward with open hearts, ready to shape a future that reflects the best of humanity.

In the Bhagavad Gita, there is a profound lesson in Arjuna’s decision when he chose Lord Krishna over an army of immense strength. Arjuna simply made the choice to align himself with divine wisdom and left all other decisions to Lord Krishna. This act of surrender teaches us the value of trust and faith in a higher purpose. As we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been, this wisdom reminds us that while it is our responsibility to make conscious choices, the outcomes are often beyond our control. Like Arjuna, we must focus on what truly matters—our values, intentions, and connection to the greater good—and trust that the path will unfold as it should. In this new beginning, let us make the right choices with faith in ourselves and in the divine flow of life, knowing that the journey ahead is guided by something far greater than us.

Some bonds are so pure and profound that they connect soul to soul, transcending words and circumstances. These are the relationships that nurture our inner selves, filling our lives with positivity and strength. As we step into the new year, let us embrace these soulful connections and surround ourselves with people who uplift and inspire us. Just as a single ray of sunlight can brighten an entire room, the presence of such individuals can illuminate our path, helping us grow and flourish. This year, choose to let go of negativity and cultivate relationships that align with your values and aspirations. In the harmony of these bonds, we find not only support but also the strength to face challenges and the courage to embrace new opportunities with a hopeful heart.

Manifestation is the art of turning your thoughts into reality by aligning your intentions, actions, and energy. As we step into a new year brimming with possibilities, let manifestation become the force that propels you toward a better version of yourself. It begins with clarity—knowing what you truly desire—and evolves with consistent effort and unwavering belief in your potential. The universe responds to focus and determination, opening doors where there seemed to be none. This year, commit to manifesting a life filled with purpose, growth, and positivity. Let your dreams inspire daily actions, your gratitude fuel resilience, and your belief create a reality that reflects your highest aspirations. In manifesting, you’re not just wishing for a better future—you’re actively building it.

In a world where connection is our lifeline, the story of a person disappearing without notice reminds us of the fragility of human bonds. When the leader of the group decides to visit them, it becomes a profound act of compassion and responsibility—a reminder that sometimes, reaching out can rekindle hope in ways we cannot imagine. This also highlights a deeper truth: the group is not just a collection of individuals, but a family bound by shared experiences, trust, and support. As we embrace the new year and its positive waves, let this story inspire us to strengthen our connections and prioritize the people in our lives. Just as the leader's decision exemplifies empathy and unity, let us strive to be present for those around us, to notice the silent struggles, and to extend a hand when needed. This year, let us resolve to be the anchor for someone else’s storm, fostering a world where no one feels lost or forgotten, and every group we are a part of is a true family.
