the flow of time is forging ahead without interruption

I read views that the new year is not an Indian one..

I have great difficulty in agreeing to that ,

My view in Sanskrit on the issue is just reproduced below..

वस्तुतः कालस्य प्रवाहः निर्बाधम् पुरो गच्छति.I..

भारतीयं वा पाश्चात्यं वा संवत्सरस्य आरम्भः जनानां चिन्तायां एव वर्तते.. I

यदि सम्यक् संख्यासु भारतीयाः अपि अद्य नवदिनं मन्यते तर्हि तद् युक्तं एव..I

अतः एतद्दिवसं भारतस्य नववर्षदिनं न भवति इति वादः न स्वीकार्यं इति मे मतिः..I

नवजातं संवस्तरं सर्वेषां ऋद्धिप्रदं भवेत् इति भगवन्तः वासुदेवाः अनुगृह्णन्तुI

meaning..

actually the flow of time is forging ahead without interruption. The beginning of a year, be it Indian or Western, is in the the thoughts of the people..

If Indians in adequate number are too celebrating new year, it is only right..

When it is so , the view that it is not new year for India is not correct in my opinion.

May the newly born year produce progress as blessed by the Lord Vaasudeva.
