Christmas
Dear Readers and Friends,
We invite you to join us in celebrating
the universal festival of Christmas. For many of us Christmas
is a time for prayer and worship, giving of gifts and partaking
in celebrations with ones family and friends. We have prepared
information that will complement your Christmas celebrations
and add spiritual depth to the various Christmas traditions.
In more recent times, the true spiritual
meaning of Christmas has been overshadowed by the increased
commercialization and
emphasis given to social activities. People from all walks
of life express the view that today; although the Christmas
is celebrated widely, it sometimes lacks the devotion and spiritual
emotion that is appropriate for the celebration of this auspicious
festival.
One obtains maximum benefits from a celebration
if it is performed with faith and intense devotion. One can
celebrate
festivals
with most faith when one understands the science behind the
celebrations and performs it in accordance with the spiritual
principles. If the festival were celebrated with the correct
spiritual meaning and with reverence, one would be benefited
immensely with spiritual emotions and love that knows no
bounds. The season is about the eternal love that was shown
to humanity
by the birth of Lord Jesus Whose teachings guide us to God.
It is for this reason that Sanatan has
prepared a campaign to increase the awareness of the spiritually
correct celebration
of Christmas. We trust this campaign will aid you in observing
the traditions of Christmas with spiritual meaning. This campaign
focuses on the spiritual understanding of:
|
|
The universal nature
of Christmas. |
|
|
The significance
of Jesus' birth. |
|
|
The spiritual
significance behind gift giving. |
|
|
Practical
advice that everyone may put into practice today itself
so as to make their Christmas more meaningful and your best
Christmas ever. |
In Spiritual texts there is a difference
between the literal and implied meanings. Unless we understand
the implied meaning correctly, we cannot take full advantage of
the treasure of Knowledge given to us by the Holy Texts. Once
we learn how to interpret the implied meanings, it will be easy
to understand the implied meaning of any scripture. For a correct
understanding of the terminology used, please refer to the glossary
by clicking on the hyperlinked words.
We wish you and your families a spiritually
enriched Christmas, and may Jesus Who was born two thousand years
ago be born in your hearts today.
