    Yoga - Spirituality - Service - Social Consciousness

    The world didn't end yet and the new year has dawned, the old has set

    and already settled back into the past so what choice have we but to go on?

    This might be a good time to reassess and recommit to those things

    we have found most important while squeezing out those tendencies

    that work to our detriment. We know precisely what these two poles are.

    The Mayan calender coming to an end may mean only that Maya itself,the physical manifestation, has ended leaving only a spiritual essence left

    to slough off the twin samskaras of desire and regret the way the incorporeal

    emerges from the corporeal until only peace is left.

    Thanks - Thanks - Thanks

    In this wonderful beginning of Year 2013 we are preparing for a flow of activities.

    We already started with an Akhanda Kiirtan the first Sunday of the month and we

    are planning more events. Soon Didi Ananda Hitaesana will come back from India

    and we are sure she will bring renewed energy and inspiration. And this newsletter

    is also part of the flow that will bring Ananda Marga in New York closer to many

    more people.

    Thanks to Bhashanti and Bob the basement

    in the Corona Jagrti looks already so

    beautiful. Bhashanti took the initiative to paint

    the stairs entrance and she did a marvelous

    job. One day of hard work during fasting ...

    ... Fastings are very important . Now that we

    have a nice website in The Margi column

    there is also the Fasting Chart . On the

    Website it is possible also to sign up for this Newsletter and we really want to make

    Yoga event suitable for its interest. It will take some time to run for it but

    eventually we will be able to deliver a a source of information regarding Yoga and

    Meditation for all.

    Ananda Vani iHappy New Year 2013!

    The firmness of a persons resolve makes him great. However lowly a person may be, he

    can become great by his determination. If you have a firm resolve to realize your goal,

    you shall become great. Without a firm resolution, you cannot achieve anything.

    Exploration of Firm DeterminationBy Sister Nirainjana

    A quote by Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji that

    resonates deeply within me is the following:

    "Knowingly or unknowingly, every humanbeing is born with a thirst for

    limitlessness." He also said our spiritual

    path is the never ending effort to find the

    link between the finite and the infinite. In

    this world with so many glitters, glamor

    and attractions, our primary duty is to make

    a constant effort to find this link in our daily sadhana and service. Shrii Shrii

    Anandamurti asks us to continue to find this link even when we are experiencing

    physical, mental, emotional and spiritual clash. He asks us to surrender our little "I"

    feeling to the Great and to offer up the fruits of our sadhana and service to theCosmos, to do our duty as perfectly as possible while surrendering the end results of

    our work, no matter how much effort, time and resources we have put into our

    project. Everything in the mainstream culture around us sends constant messaging

    contrary to this Ananda Marga value, but part and parcel of our firm determination is

    to maintain our equilibrium in all spheres of life and to continually help build up a

    spiritual culture with others that is creating a powerful vibration as we enter 2013.

    November 4th, 1990 was Samkalpa Diivas or Day of Solemn Vow that I remember

    clearly. Thousands of Margiis around the world took the following vow:

    "All my energy, all my mind, all my thoughts, all my deeds, are to be goaded unto the

    path of collective elevation of human society, without neglecting other living beings

    and inanimate objects right from this moment until the last point of my being on this

    Earth."

    Brothers and Sisters: let us take firm

    determination in 2013 to live up to this vow in

    all the ways that we are able to, to encourage

    each other and lift each other up to be as idealdaughters and sons of Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji

    as possible, to make Him proud and to make

    our Ananda Marga family stronger, healthier

    and more vibrant as we head to a most beautiful

    Satya Yuga on this planet that all have been

    yearning for. All my good wishes and

    salutations. Nirainjana
