Jai Sai Ram
Merry, merry Christmas to you, dearest Ravi, and all my beloved brothers and sisters.
Christmas is the festival to celebrate the birth of Christ. Yet Jesus was not actually born on the 24/25th December. Church simply made use of one of the most importat ancient festivals: Winter Solstice which was/is celebrated between the 21st and the 24th of December. The longest and darkest night is over and the light gradually begins to come back. The Divine Sun Child is born a-new. Knowing this and knowing that the Guru is the one who takes us from darkness to the light we can celebrate Christmas in honour of Christ and all His Brothers.
May BABA bless all of you with a special gift this Christmas!
OM SAI RAM
