New year is being celebrated with lot of enthusiasm in almost all
countries, except probably Islamic nations.

Does New Year beginning January relate to any religious sentiment
more particularly with Christianity or Judaism?

Sometime back, Kanchi Sankaracharaya instructed the temple
authorities not to open the Temples during mid-night. Despite this,
New Year is being celebrated by Hindus also.

I wish all members a very Happy and Prosperous 2014.

Dear Sir,

You are wrong..even though I do not celebrate New Year of any kind..New Year is a Public Holiday in Malaysia even though we are an Islamic Nation.

It is not a Public Holiday in India as far as I know.
 
Greetings and Good Wishes for a Happy New Year 2014.
May the blessings of Almighty be with us to lead a contented life of good health and happiness.
Warm Regards,
Brahmanyan,
Bangalore
 
There is no such thing as a "good" year or a "bad" year.
Life is what you make of it. Get a jump on the new year.
Start today to make the most of every moment.



Wish you all a Happy ending of Year 2013 on this day to Invite the Fresh Golden Year 2014.

Regards

P J & Family

There is absolutely nothing christian, jewish or english about this New Year. This day is the first day in the first month of the Gregorian Calendar. This calendar was designed in rome, by romans for the romans. The roman catholic church adopted this calendar. in the beginning there were only 10 months beginning from march. hence the 5th month was named july after julius ceasar and 6th august after augustus ceasar. the 7th was named september after septum, latin (language spoken in rome then) for 7, 8th october after octum, latin for 8, november after novum, latin for 9 and december after decum, latin for 10. it was believed the earth took 300 days to complete 1 revolution around sun. however later it was discovered earth takes 365 days and hence to adjust the dates to coincide with the then current date, 2 months were inserted in the beginning rather than appended at the end. the 1st month was named january, after roman goddess janus, who is worshipped first prior to performing any religious ritual, a parallel of pillayar in hinduism. the roman catholic church adopted this calendar since being roman. when it was discovered that earth takes an additional day every 4 years, the leap year was made during the reign of pope gregory and since this was the last change made on this calendar, since then it is popularly referred to as gregorian calendar. prior to reformation movement, entire europe, which was catholic, were subscribing to this calendar. countries other than rome, including england, had no indigenous calendar of their own. england continued with this calendar even after reformation and imposed this calendar on its colonies, hence in british colonies this calendar is (inappropriately) referred to as english calendar.

while i am not against the jubilation over this roman new year, i think it would be more appropriate for us to celebrate the 1st day of tamil month chithirai with more pomp and jubilation, being tamilians.

HAPPY NEW YEAR2014 to All the Members.
Is it a fact that the calender of 2014 is replica of 1947,the year in which India became an Independent Nation.
Let us Hope that Indians get 'Economic Freedom' in 2014.

you know 1st april was treated as new years day for many years before it was shifted to 1st jan. hence 1st april is called fools day. tamils take ist day of chitrai as new years day while k wanted it to be shifted to pongal.
saw some wonderful fireworks at marina bayfront at singapore last night . great sight.
wonderful crowd management of lakhs at the bayfront with minimum security personnel . indians can learn a lot about discipline from singapore locals. the way the lakhs were transported back in metros was a revelation
wish all members of this forum a happy new year

2014 Wishes

Dear Members,

I wish every one and all their family members a very Happy new year.

Kindly post in the calender for 2014 if anyone has. with all major and minor tamil festivals mentioned, I saw one for 2012, It was very informative and useful, I cannot read and write tamil which stops me from using "Pambu Panchangam".

Cheers and Thanks

RR Madam,

The date of Tamil New Year has been restored to 1st day of Chithirai falling in April, two years back, but this calendar seems to indicate the old order

I think it depends on the person who prepared this calendar! :)
 
Thanks to all the Administrative team and members of Tamilnadu Brahmins for the greetings,
I have pleasure to extend a warm New year greetings to one and all, associated with Tamilnadu Brahmins. I wish all success in their effort for development of the community and unity. Kind Regards,
 
Wish all the Brahmin members a very happy and prosperous New Year !

If we had heard what our Acharya says we should have become ideal Brahmins!
I wish all members a very Happy and Prosperous 2014.
