Dear IL friends, It is said that each one of us come into this world with our quota of happiness and miseries. Like, there is a pot of happiness and a pot of miseries that are given to us when we take birth, based on our past karma. So, as much as we try to increase our happiness or reduce our distress, we can never succeed. This is our struggle for existence. However, our scriptures recommend one way to overcome our miseries and increase our happiness - chanting Harinaam sincerely day after day... It is mentioned in Kali-santarana Upanishad as follows: hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare itishodashakam naamnaam kali - kalmasha-nashanam naatah parataropaayah sarva vedesu drshyate Translation : "After searching through all the vedic literatures, one cannot find a method of religion more sublime for this age of Kali than the chanting of Hare Krishna." Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare So, here is wishing you all that your pot of happiness may brim over by the mercy of the Lord's holy names, on the auspicious festival of Pongal!! Love and prayers, Krsnapriya
