Let’s continue our series of Self-study (Swadhyaaya), and talk about Christmas. It is a time of the year that many are looking forward with joy and some see it with sadness. Why?
At this time, many children and adults receive gifts of: Santa Claus, Baby Jesus, the Three Wise Men, father, mother, children, family and friends. Why?
We want to show our love or appreciation to our loved ones for what they represent and have done for us.
Logically, because it is the end of year, many also make an inventory of achievements and losses. We also do not forget that there is a social programming that pushes for consumption (buying and selling) of many things. Thus, we see how Christmas is loaded with toys for children and gifts for everyone
Of course, it is rewarding to do Daan (share wealth), do positive Karma (good deeds) and Swadhyaaya
.
But, we should not forget that Tapa (discipline of self-control) is also very important, because many people are predisposed to health problems due to excesses in food, alcohol, parties, etc.
We also remember that Christmas is related to the Judean – Christian Tradition around Jesus (the Christ), his achievements, miracles and messages.
And especially, how He surrenders his life to redeem a sinful humanity.

These basic roots: Agnihotra, Daan, Tapa, Karma and Swadhyaya feed the Tree of Conscious Life in humans and
promote good fruits.
Yes, yes, yes, Jesus incarnated the Universal Love and lived the 10 Commandments of Moses that we can also see as the
“Keys to Happiness”
which are contained in the Fivefold Path.
This is a good time:
– to ignite the Fire of Love in our heart through Agnihotra and to Awake
– to break barriers (programs)
– to get off the Cross (psychological, rigid, absurd fixations)
– to merge with the Creator
– and to be Reborn.
Let us continue to celebrate a Conscious Life and Universal Love.
OM CHRISTMAS OM
OM SHRII OM
