Welcome all of you to this New Year. I sat in Samadhi last night and what I saw and felt, that is my message to the world. And I just wrote it. I will read this message and then I will explain something.

Welcome New Year 2026,
the year of hope and light.

My Dear Blessed Humanity.
Welcome 2026, the year of hope and light, year of new beginning.
I assure you this is going to be a year of awakening, hope and unification.
Keep the flame in you.
Earth has entered into a trajectory of golden light.

Blessings and Love, Bhagavan.

This is perhaps completely hundred percent different from what I was feeling the world to be. And perhaps this is totally different from all the astrological predictions all over the world.

What I saw? I saw a big circle of light. And the circle of light was pink color. And inside this pink color of light there was another circle that was white light. And at the center of this big circle, and in this big circle, I felt it when I came out of Samadhi, I saw the whole evolution. The whole evolution inside a pink circle of light, clearly indicates as per my realization and as per the Vedic seers’ description in the Vedas, it is a sure sign that the Earth has entered into a new trajectory, a positive trajectory. So, at the center of this I saw a flame of light. I did not see any lamp, but there was a flame glowing, and that rays of the light was spreading, and it was golden. And I saw through that golden light some object. I didn’t see any form, some object that was dropping, dropping and bursting. Like the children they burst these Diwali crackers, bursting the rays of light. Then I saw the whole globe moving.

It is very symbolic that the collective aspiration on Earth has entered into a new trajectory of positivity. I was thinking perhaps the collective consciousness on Earth has gone down; that is why so much of war, violence, poverty, disease, conflict is coming. But now I can confidently tell to the whole humanity that the number of evolved beings, awakened beings, the great seers of the modern time, they all are awakened, and all are aspiring for a change. And that change is not the change from the present state of strife and turmoil. But it is a change that is going to fundamentally alter the thought of those who are in seat of power, those who are controlling the wealth of humanity. Be it natural resources or human resources, it is going to be used for the benefit of humanity. New thought, new awakening, new knowledge is coming to Earth. There will be many, many new scientific inventions, and there will be unimaginable, unthinkable positive waves that will change the consciousness of earthly beings.

I never even dreamt of such a thing. But it is definitely, ’26 is the year of bright sunshine. And if we see as per the zodiac sign, this is the year of the Sun. 2-0-2-6, numerically it is number one. Number one as per the planetary position, it is the sun. And the sun symbolizes the atma, the being, the soul.

I would recommend somehow if this circle, it can be just, maybe an artist can do it. A pink color circle. Then there is the white color circle. Then around the center there is a flame of light. But that light is important, that visibility of that color. Because these three colors are symbol of the light coming from beyond the three dimension of Bhu, Bhuva, Suvah. I see this in my Samadhi. I see these lights coming from Satya Loka, Tapa Loka and Jana Loka. So this is very, very symbolic. If we just carry that small. It may be a laminated thing, just to keep it in our purse, in our pocket. I would recommend somehow this to be made by an artist and then every house should have this picture. I would like every human being to carry this small emblem with him, with her. I don’t know why, but I’m feeling hundred percent confident that if this is with the body, whosoever will be having it, definitely, I feel that there shall be no harm coming from any of the elemental forces: earth, water, air, fire, ether. Because this is not the imagination of an artist. It is just a vision. It came, and it came for whole humanity. So let this message be spread.

And I am feeling extremely grateful that you all, those who are voluntarily taken the responsibility to keep the awakened humanity on the path of rising aspiration, by guiding them through the World Peace Meditation, through TT (Transcendental Technique), through pranayama, through yoga technique, through prayer, through bhajan, kirtan, satsang. I feel deeply grateful because this has contributed to the unthinkable change in the collective consciousness of our planet.

Because we are not having access to this data of how many people are in the positive side, we sometime think perhaps we are in a minority. But actually this minority and majority, these are the terms applicable, valid in the human mental plane. But when we talk of the collective consciousness from the spiritual dimension, number does not carry any weight at all. I remember what Sri Aurobindo has said, one man’s perfection still can save the world. And I feel there are many men. Not one man. Many men are there scattered over all this planet, in every country, those who are receiving, carrying and transmitting this perfection. Aspiring for the whole humanity. So this is the year of new beginning.

I am telling what I see, what I feel. And what I see is not the sight of a human being. What I see is the sight of the Lord himself. What I feel is not the feeling of a small human on Earth. What I feel is the feeling of the whole humanity.  

So I welcome this year with positive light, positive hope, positive feelings. Welcome all. Let us all welcome this. Let us spread this message. It is not a message to give consolation. It is not a message to give a false hope. 31^st December 2026, humanity will evaluate and it will say, “Yes Bhagavan, what you said came true in my life, in our life and in our planet.

Thank you all.

Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya.

This is the year of the Sun. So I would like all of you. I have given a very small easy sun technique. Each one of you I recommend you to do it. Because the year of the sun, and sun is the atma that always emits the light. Sun gazing technique is very simple. Just look at the sun through your fingers’ gap. Allow few rays of the sun to come to your eyes. Just 3 or 4 second. You will see. It will not only keep you in an elevated state of consciousness, but also it will immensely increase your cycle of sattva. You will not feel tamasic, sloth, laziness, no.

Because this is year of sun, year of sun. From Uttarayana, it is the sun that will rule. The sun technique I recommend everybody to do, including children.

The title of this post refers to a related verse in Gita; can you find it?

Satyachetana Movement is presently finishing the construction of a professional broadcast and recording studio at the Ganeshpuri campus in Tiruvannamalai. This sacred space will provide a soundproof, well-lit environment to ensure flawless audio and video production of Swamiji’s interactions and other projects. The studio will be used for worldwide programs like the Srimad Bhagavata Katha series and many other spiritual offerings, including classes for the Jnana Ganga Mission, Satyachetana’s new spiritual education initiative.
