For those in our community who celebrate Christmas, religiously or culturally, we wish you a joyous and blessed holiday.
Many Hindus have found ways to incorporate Christmas into their own spiritual practice, and a number of Hindu teachers consider Jesus, his teachings, and his example, resonant with the wisdom of the Vedic tradition. One such master, Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952), often spoke about Christ Consciousness.
In that spirit, we wanted to share this reflection… an invitation to see Christmas as a day to cultivate love, forgiveness, compassion, and a vision of equality in our hearts and lives.
