A Christmas Message From Sri Mrinalini Mata
| |
 Warm Christmas wishes reach out to you from all of us in Gurudeva Paramahansa Yogananda's ashrams, and prayers that during this sacred season honoring the birth of the beloved Lord Jesus, you may feel through your devotion and meditation-tuned consciousness the infinite Christ-love that permeated his life. When the heart and mind open to the touch of God's grace that comes to us through those who purely reflect His light, the illusory veil that separates us from the Divine is lifted. The darkness of this strife-torn world recedes and peace fills our being. New hope stirs within us, along with the soul-memory of our true, limitless nature. Such are the ever-renewed gifts of the universal Christ Consciousness.
