Message on World Suicide Prevention Day

“आत्महत्या माने की खुद की हत्या, सपनों की हत्या, अपने अरमानों की हत्या।अपनी हत्या नहीं, अपने अपनों के अरमानो की हत्या भी है।
माना की ज़िंदगी आसान नहीं है पर आत्महत्या भी तो कोई समाधान नहीं है।”

Today is #SuicidePreventionDay, when we address the issue of the millions every year who choose the ultimate “solution” to their problems and issues, a final response to a temporary challenge which isn’t a solution at all! In addressing the devastating tragedy of suicide, Pujya Swamiji asks us to pause, to take a moment to reflect on our lives and to see our true selves.

“No problem is bigger than us,” He so beautifully shares, “and suicide is never a solution to our problems. With the correct intentions and willpower, we can overcome any problem.”

Pujya Swamiji also encourages us to find our true purpose and to work towards it. “We are moving very, very fast and speed thrills, but it also kills if there is no direction. In this beautiful life, we must have a purpose. And never, in a moment of chaos and weakness, consider suicide to be an option!”
