A Christmas Message From Paramahansa Yogananda     

 
Paramahansa Yogananda pranamA Cradle for the Christ of Everywhere  
  

During this coming Christmas season, open a new portal of sublime devotion so that the Christ Omnipresence will be able to come anew within your consciousness. Every day, every hour, every golden second, Christ has been knocking at your dark gates of ignorance. Now, in this august sacred dawn, Christ is especially coming in answer to your inner call, to awaken his Christ Consciousness Omnipresence within you. 

 

A Christmas Message From Sri Mrinalini Mata   

   

Sri Mrinalini Mata
Blessings of the Christmas season, honoring the birth of the Lord Jesus in a finite baby form, in which was incarnate the Infinite Christ, God's omnipresence in creation. I pray that you experience within your heart and soul the universal Christ-love, peace, and joy made manifest in Jesus.

Christ is born in the cradle of each loving heart. So you must prepare your consciousness to receive him. Instead of enjoying just the material aspects of this Christmas celebration, make your heart a cradle where Christ can be born again.
