RAGHUVANSHI 2023 - 2024 HAPPY DIWALI

To the President and all members of LCNL...

People often ask me why and how the Shrimad Bhagavatam can still be relevant
today, 5000 years after it was first composed by Shri Veda Vyas. I always say that
this beautiful scripture teaches us three main things: 1. How to live in harmony
with our environment and mother nature; 2. How to live in harmony with animals
and all living creatures; 3. How to live in harmony with other human beings. These

simple and universal teachings are present in the Shrimad Bhagavatam , and are
still relevant today.

We all need to learn how to live in harmony, not just with the world, living
creatures and fellow humans, but also with ourselves.

Diwali is a good time to make changes in our lives, in our homes, in our

businesses, in our families and in our communities to allow for this harmony to
take place and bring auspiciousness in the New Year.

My warmest wishes and blessings to all of you and your loved ones during this
festive occasion.

Jai Shri Krishna,
