New Year's Program

Celebrate with your eternal, best and most dear friend-Bhagavan Shri
Krishna.

I am the goal, the sustainer, the master, the witness, the abode, the refuge, and the most dear friend. I am the creation and the annihilation, the basis of everything, the restingplace and the eternal seed. . Bhagavad Gita 9.18 http://www.vedabase.net/bg/9/18/en
Śrī  Hari , the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the Supersoul and guide of all living entities who have accepted material bodies within this world. He is the supreme controller of all material activities in material nature. He is also our *best friend*, and everyone should take shelter at His lotus feet. In doing so, one's life will be auspicious. Srimad Bhagavatam 4.29.50 http://vedabase.net/sb/4/29/50/en/
