WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME BY SWAMI SIVANANDA

Dear All,

Good morning / Evening to to all of u and have a divine blessed day ahead …..

Wishing all my friends / brothers & Sisters "ADVANCE HAPPY CHRISTMAS" and a Prosperous NEW YEAR 2012

Combining as it does, the joy of life and the Spirit of God, the festival of Christmas comes year after the approaching herald of a new year, with its sweet message and silent shifting of our attention, more and yet more to the spiritual pursuits in which alone consist man’s real peace, true progress, and everlasting glory. Whether it was Jane Taylor or Watts who affirmed, “Lord, I ascribe it to Thy grace, and not to chance, as others do, that I was born of Christian race” it is no expression of any spirit of fanaticism but a humble acknowledgment of the excellent benefits that the genuine Christian way and style of life confers upon one; it is an eloquent tribute to the First Christmas divinely celebrated in the Christ’s crib one thousand, nine hundred and fifty-six years ago, a tribute paid by one who has reaped in experience the life-making fruits of the seeds sown by the birth of Christ.

Besides that elevation of sentiments that inspiration for the inmost spirit in man, that gladness of heart for all, Happy Christmas renews and revivifies in us splendid spiritual values, unyielding spirit of courage, hope, service and sacrifice, a wider and more profound meaning of life to live by. Nothing but a complete volume of weighty writing becomes necessary for any satisfactory narration of the Great Meaning that Christmas has always held for each of us.

May this Christmas bring to everyman on earth, immense happiness, persisting peace, a new strength, a long life of service, love, sacrifice and spiritual progress!

Moogi brings us to the true meaning of every moment:  Discovering who we are right now allows for disappearing everything and living in unbounding peace.

Christmas is kind of Festival of Lights for me. I know the idea behind Diwali ist different. It is the joy that Hanuman brought back Sita to Ram.

But in Christmas time there are so many candles...

Festival of Love - therefore it's very joyous...
