May God bless you with peace of mind

By being toward you very very kind


Let time give you a favorable verdict

Let happen surely what you predict


Let Angels surround you to protect

And guide you finely to be perfect


Let joy and mirth obey your order

Let your proposal God ever consider


Let robust health hug you like mother

Let the same be had by your brother


Let all your valuable schemes click

Let golden ideas your mind pick


God will surely bless you to be active

Apart from being very usefully creative


May storm become at your sight breeze!

May ill-fate due to your efforts cease!


Sorrow will surely avoid your doors

Bliss will grow on your home-floors


May Divinity shower you with mirth

During your stay on this fine Earth


Nature must gift you with prudence

Showing for God’s presence evidence


Let your emotions be strong and steady

To help you Divine forces are ever ready


You must never weep, but sound sleep

Peace of mind for you all must be deep


By using a brilliantly sagacious thought

You must make score of sadness a naught


Your ideas must form a prosperous garden

By solving entire humanity’s severe burden


You and your entire family must be glad

Forever spring of joy must be by all had


Lord Dhanvanthri must make you healthy

And Let Lakshmi make you very wealthy


Let Saraswathi make your children studious

Let them succeed by being very industrious


I wish you a happy Telugu New Year

Spend it with real joy and great cheer!
