Everyone in this world wishes to live with Happiness,Peace and 
Prosperity.

If this desire has to be fulfilled, then everyone should follow the 
path of "Dharma" and practice in their daily life.

Several thousand years ago, our great saints,seers and Wiseman have 
said,

Dharma Rakshathi Rakshithaha

"If we protect Dharma, Dharma will protect us"

Protection of Dharma does not mean mere adoration of Dharma. It is 
the effort of placing Principle of Dharma into practice. Everyone of 
us desire, for supreme happiness not only in this birth but also in 
subsequent births or Janmas. No one will wish to have sufferings or 
sorrow in any birth.

"Dharma grants happiness and peace. Adharma makes life miserable with 
agony and sorrow" says our Shastra.

What is the true meaning or significance of Dharma?

 Dharma means: Helping the poor and the needy
 
 Dharma means: Worshipping and obeying God
 
 Dharma means: To be in the company of persons with purity and virtues
 
 Dharma means: Listening and understanding matters that reflect 
divine values and virtues.
 
 Dharma teaches not to be avaricious to possess others wealth.
 
 Dharma is Ahimsa. It is merciful nature not to harm any one at any 
time.
 

 

Humanity should always remember and accept one virtue 
concept. "Others are like me. Just like I have joy and sorrow, they 
have also the same. If someone abuses or hurts me, it pains. It is in 
the same way the other person will also suffer, If I abuse him. 
Therefore what I do not wish to happen to me,should not happen to 
others also.

These values and virtues are universal.

"Athmana : prathi koolani paresham na samachareth"

are the words of guidance from sastras on these virtues.

"Don't do to others what is harmful to you" is the meaning of the 
above verse.

 

Violence is a great sin. Non violence is the path of Dharma. If we 
wish to live in peace, Happiness and Harmony, we should live with 
love and faith.

 

Peace will not be there, where lust and anger dwells. Only when we 
drop our lust and anger, we would be able to live with true Happiness 
and in peace.

 

We are all entering into a New Century and into a Millennium. The 
priority of our life should be to practice Dharma.

 

For ages, our sacred country India, has been in the task of teaching 
and preaching the message of peace or shanti to the world.

We should continue the task, with more commitment in the New Century 
spreading the message of Love, Peace and Harmony throughout the world.

 

We require God's grace in all our thoughts and deeds. Therefore we 
must pray to god with devotion, whenever we start any new activity.

 

Our Ego and selfishness should be totally dropped as Ego is the root 
cause of our Evil deeds. Hence everyone should function totally 
devoid of Ego or "Ahankara"

 

All the Wisdom, Capabilities and Power that we possess are mercifully 
granted to us by God.Let us take an Oath "to use all our 
wisdom,capabilities and Power in the service of god and in the 
service of Humanity"

 

I bless one and all to follow Dharma and to prosper in Life and to 
Live with Peace, Progress, Prosperity and Happiness.

 

                                H.H. Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharathi 
Tirtha Maha Swamaji
