Every Day Will Be Your Christmas

Every Day Will Be Your Christmas

- Sri Swami Satchidananda

"Lord you are the Light of Lights.  You are the source of all lights.  You are the Sun of Suns, Moon of Moons, Star of Stars.  You are the light within and without.  You are the light of the enlightened.  Kindly lead us from the darkness of ignorance to the light of understanding to realise the truth behind all these names and forms." 'This is my prayer on this holy occasion.'

"Every holy day should remind us of our inherent divine nature.  At least on that holy day we should forget all the man-made differences, even the differences that are seen in nature, and rise above these differences to recognise our spiritual oneness.

Don't just run after things.  Look within.  Experience that joy, that peace, that Jesus, that Moses, that Allah, that Mohammed, that Buddha.  Use any name you want.  That's my sincere wish for you.  Think of that.  Let this holy day bring this light into you so you can celebrate, Hannukah, Christmas, New Year, all the holy days all the time.  You don't need to depend on a calendar, certain months, certain days, certain years.  Every day will be your Christmas.  Every day you will be receiving gifts through your chimney.  Santa Claus will be there with you always.

When the man begins to sight the glorious inner light,

He drops all ego's fight, and knows the mission right,

Does everything in delight and ever simply feels light.

May the Light of Lights light our lives.  May the light of Hannukah be lit within you.  May the Christ light be born in you.  May the New Year dawn in you and bring a new life in the spirit.  May this holy season inspire you with peace and joy.  May God be with you."


I am truly inspired by this reading and as you are all my brothers and sisters, I wished to share it with you....as it matters not which path we follow, we are all one and all divine.  X

25th December - Brumalia
Brumalia was an ancient Roman solstice festival honoring Bacchus, generally held on 25 December and possibly related to the ancient Greek Lenaia (held in honour of Dionysus). The festival included drinking and merriment. The name is derived from the Latin word bruma, meaning "shortest day" or even "winter".  The Brumalia was also celebrated during the space of thirty days, commencing on 24 November. This was instituted by Romulus, who entertained the Senate during this time. During this feast, prophetic indications were taken of the prospects for the remaining part of the winter.
