Introduction
The universe is dynamic, and everything in it is changeable. All this happens naturally, according to the laws of nature. Whenever a period of change begins, its sights astonish all living beings. In moments of leisure, one may reflect upon these wonders: the changing seasons, the sunrise, the twinkling stars, the moon’s milky glow, the pitch-dark night, the serene yet capricious blue sky, and the mist-filled days and nights. These carefree sights of nature colour our lives with beauty and meaning.
Each phase arrives in its own time, offers all it has, and then quietly moves on. At present, winter is at its peak. Its chilling winds are powerful enough to humble even the strongest. Yet, after enduring its sharp blows, people feel a sense of pride. This is the strange and wonderful spectacle of change.
Beyond this, there are changes whose dazzling effects colour the entire world—changes with their own stories, philosophies, spoken and unspoken. They are like hidden riddles, mysterious and profound. The year 2026 has arrived, announced and discussed across the globe. New dreams are being shaped under its shadow. The year 2025 has just passed, lived differently by each individual. For some, it brought joy; for others, learning; and for some, trials. Sweet and bitter memories have been left behind—some fading, some permanent, some cherished achievements to be proudly shared. Thus, the wheel of life keeps turning, and we often do not realize how swiftly the years pass until a new one stands at the door.
New Songs, New Dreams
The New Year holds great significance in life. It calls us to decorate our lives anew with fresh preparation and purpose. The dreams we have woven for the coming year must be pursued with sincerity, for the New Year is a source of renewed energy and inspiration. It is a fresh expression of nature, bringing something new for our consciousness.
Every New Year is connected to a purpose. We must rise, awaken, and live with hope. We must write our story again with new words and deeper meanings. We should make full use of the opportunities nature provides, fulfil our unfulfilled dreams, and reflect upon what we gained and lost in the previous year. These lessons will guide us forward.
This year holds special importance for students. Their goals are larger, their responsibilities greater. To achieve success, they must step into the field with renewed enthusiasm and passion, working day and night with discipline and dedication. Each challenge must be faced courageously so that the foundation of future years may be strengthened and life may become meaningful. With proper planning and a well-designed daily schedule, this New Year can truly become beneficial.
New Rules, New Promises
If the previous year was good, that is fine; if it was not, that too is fine. What has passed cannot be changed. What matters is tomorrow, and tomorrow must be designed beautifully today. Recall the promises that remained unfulfilled and resolve to complete them now. Promises made—to oneself or to others—must be honoured sincerely.
As human beings blessed with intelligence, we must act with wisdom and responsibility. Alongside personal progress, we should contribute to society. Make a resolution to work for social welfare—protecting the environment, using water wisely, preventing pollution, and keeping our surroundings clean. These are not optional acts but moral duties.
Extend a helping hand whenever possible—help a neighbour, assist a stranger, volunteer your time, donate clothes, provide food, or support the needy. Caring for animals, planting trees, and nurturing them should become part of our identity, for trees are the essence of life itself. Let this New Year inspire us to think beyond personal success and plan something meaningful for others. Even a small step taken selflessly can make life more beautiful.
New Year Celebrations
The arrival of the New Year is like the arrival of a special guest, and celebration becomes natural. This tradition, originating in Western culture, has now become a global festival. People celebrate in their own ways—grand gatherings, music, dance, and joyful nights. Cities glow with enthusiasm, and businesses also take part in the festive spirit.
In India, too, the New Year is welcomed with great excitement. Some celebrate in snowy mountains, others in deserts or bustling cities. For the younger generation, it has become a vibrant passion. Celebration is not wrong; joy refreshes the mind and lifts the spirit. One should celebrate, laugh, sing, and share happiness.
However, our celebrations must respect the dignity of Indian culture—the noble heritage of saints and sages. Vulgarity, intoxication, and addiction have no place in healthy celebrations. Young people should seek positive company, participate in spiritual gatherings, Bhajans, Shabad Kirtan, and folk traditions that uplift the soul. Celebration guided by wisdom brings lasting joy.
A Rich and Spiritual Celebration
Amid worldwide celebrations, Dera Sacha Sauda presents a unique spiritual example. The New Year celebrations there are marked by devotion, welfare works, and collective joy. Spiritual gatherings held during January fill the atmosphere with harmony and positivity. Through welfare works—providing food, clothing, and essentials to the deprived—a message of universal celebration is spread.
Spiritual gatherings, known as Naamcharcha, are held in villages and cities. Each household celebrates in its own way, cutting cakes, distributing sweets, and expressing gratitude to the Spiritual Master, whose teachings inspire such meaningful traditions. These celebrations are not merely festive but socially beneficial, spiritually enriching, and deeply humane.
