The divine is present with us always. Whether it is the incarnations like Jesus and Amma, or anyone, we are never far from divinity
When mankind is in the darkness, forgetting the street of Dharma, forgetting to see one another as God’s children, the Divine comes again to us, showing the way of peace, giving us the wonderfull example of His/Her Life.
The Supreme Consciousness took the form of son, brother to all of us, to pass the message that we all have within us pure unconditional love and are children of God. His message was forgiveness. “You who are without fault throw the first stone.” We are children therefore we make mistakes. Bring your mistakes to Him with tears, ask for forgiveness, and God will forgive you. The cycle of karma is removed when you fall on your knees and ask the Lord for forgiveness. You must fully believe in Him in order for this to occur. To enter the kingdom of heaven, Self, give all your riches to the poor. It was a message of upliftment for all beings.
Behind the lights and glitter there is a soul that took birth on this day some 2000 some-odd years ago to spread the light of peace of love
Christmas reminds me about the advent of simplicity, humility, love, compassion, broadmindedness, innocence, incessant fight against the lawlessness. Jesus Christ was infact an incarnation, a true master from the lineage of Rishis but the intolerant people could not properly adore and recognise him. If Jesus was not there, world could have been more barbaric. Jesus provided cultural cleansing to the western minds. So Christmas is a great occassion to remember the great Master Christ.
A divine Message from my divine AMMA reminding me again the truth of life. Happy Christmas to a my divine AMMA and every one.
Amma has said, soap is there doesn’t mean that everybody will be clean.
Many incarnations have taken birth to teach humanity the path to God realization.
But still, majority of humanity still lives in spiritual darkness.
Incarnations can only show the path, but whether to follow the path is up to each individual’s own decision.
Birthdays of incarnations reminds us about this great responsibility each of us has as individuals.
It reminds me in specially being very close to god. Being more, being one soul.
The word Christmas is literally “The Mass of Christ”. The Advent The Coming The Arrival of God made flesh in the Body of the Sweet Infant Jesus. Christmas is a Heralding an Awakening a Communion of God and his children through The Intermediary The Avatar The Mahatma Our Dear Lord Yeshua, Jesus. As we know through the Life of Our Beloved Amma, God is born into the world for the benefit of beings struggling through the darkness of Maya. Some get stuck on words like, ‘God so Loved the world that he gave his only begotten son.’ But ‘only’ is just a word and God has many words. Beautiful Words Like Jesus and Amma and Krishna, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
Jai Christ!!!!
Its a day when we get good discounts from shops, more opportunities to get brownie points by giving gifts and cards to people. And above all search online for the birth of christ and end up in youtube with Christianity with atheism debate, with the former getting beat black and blue, finally asking yourself what is worthy and look fwd to the new year and the resolutions!!
Love all and serve all.
Forgive and forget the faults of all.
“Christmas”- represents the “Birth of CHRIST-The SAVIOUR.” The Saviour who bore so many sufferings “To ensure that we gain Divine Life”
Christmas is the season of “Rejoicing, Sharing, Giving & Sacrificing”
AMMA is The SAVIOUR in today’s Times and her messages embody the same principles-of Love & Sharing amongst all her Children! Let us all strive to achieve these qualities in our lives with the Blessings of our SAVIOUR – AMMA-the CHRIST of TODAY. Indeed, we are lucky!
Christmas to me,means Santa Claus, and Santa embodies the spirit of giving, giving and giving! As AMMA also time and again inspires us to give selflessly, Christmas is the time we should resolve, to give to others,without concern for the returns.It is a celebration of goodness, of righteousness and the joy of GIVING!
Christmas, to me,means Santa Claus, and Santa embodies the spirit of giving.As AMMA always inspires us to keep giving selflessly to others, so too Christmas celebrates goodness, righteousness and the joy of GIVING!
christmas is a time to celeberate that gods presence is always there for us and ammas love brings it on more profusely 🙂
The Mother births and holds the Christ Child….
” Oh Goddess, You are creation, You are Creator…You are energy, You are truth…You are the maker of the cosmos…You are beginning and end…You are the soul’s essence…You are the five elements…You are creation…Your are creator…You are energy…You are truth. Oh Goddess, Oh Goddess, Oh Goddess.” Amma
Sri Sri Mata Amma, in deepest gratitude i bow and give thanks…
God likes the poor. Jesus, Amma, Krishna were born in poor or lower strata of society
The sign of Christmas is a star, a light in darkness. See it not outside yourself, but shining in the Heaven within, and accept it as the sign the time of Christ has come. ~ A Course in Miracles T-15.XI. 2.1-2. What is the time of Christ? The Illumination of Earth.
Meditating further on the question, considering other responses: Truth is Truth no matter what form, culture or time and is available to all, all the time. Both Jesus and Amma: “If it is their karma to suffer, than it is my dharma to help relieve those suffering.” “Instead of pointing the finger at others faults, use a mirror to look at your own.” So, I ask myself, if Lakshmi blessed me with material abundance it must be due to good karma and a golden heart, so would I give all my riches to the poor? Am I fearless in my faith, do I trust my God by following Her/His example? The Christmas message leaves me meditating upon this, May everyday be Christmas!
Christmas is the symbol of sacrifice and unconditional love. Without sacrifice love has little charm. I think this is what Christ stands for, Sacrifice and Pure Love. Forgetting our comfort zone for others in terms of money,sleep and all the things that are dear to us. Renunciation is the willingness to give away some of the things that are dear to us and it does not necessarily lies in the amount of money we give in charity. Giving without expectation like we do during Christmas brings expansion to our heart, GOD is expansion and infinite!
When will Christ Consciousness be born within my heart, Amma? Please take away my selfishness, hatred, enviousness, anger, lust, greed and everything that comes with my puffed-up ego. This is the burden I do not want to carry anymore. Bless me with unmotivated love and compassion to serve You by following the footsteps of Mahajans like Christ….
Lord Christ was the epitome of love and selfless service. May we learn to be loving and seeing everyone as ourselves.
Let each Nation live in Peace with their neighbor; be it of any Religion, Color, Cast or Creed. Lokah Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu.
A message of simplicity and a pause to reconnect with the obvious:Truth does not need many words to express Itself, a few pointers are good enough.Like the life and teachings of the Savior.. intriguing in its bare simplicity.And of course, Christmas is a chance to wake up a little to spirituality through festivity: colors,scents, gatherings, food..
God is Love.Christmas is all about Love.We all know that our most beloved Amma is the empodiment of uncontional Love .So christmas is all about God and Love.God+Love =Amma. ok?Love is the key to peace and Love.Love is the key to peace among all mankind.Love is the key to peace and happiness with all creations..Love needs to be practiced.Love needs to flow.Love needs to make happy.Love starts with your beloved ,or partner,children and family and expands to all world.God bless all Mankind.
The message of Christmas is very clear. Peace, Harmony, Love. This is the apt occasion to spread these things in whatever ways we can.
And this should be done by all of us irrespective of religion, sex, caste, and age. Why worry when Amma’s Divine Blessings takes care of us. To ensure it flows smoothly,just practice the above things. That’s all.
Christmas is the ultimate of sacrifice for the sake of humanity as a whole.Jesus Christ though, was the lord still endured all the pain of crucification for the sake of lesser pain for the humanity.It is due to the sacrifice of saints like Amma who takes the pain away from all the people who goes to her and ultimately sacrifices herself for all others.Just like the SUN shining light on us while burning itself out.
The snowfall and the snowman tells us that its Christmas.
The carols and Santa gifts tells us that its Christmas.
Believers praying for God’s grace tells us that its Christmas.
But for me, those innocent children waiting for some small sweets as part of Christmas tells me that its Christmas and its time that we make our contribution as well. Wishing merry Christmas to all.
Last Christmas I kissed the feet of Jesus Christ just seeing the nails on his feet! His life was a sacrifice for the happiness of humanity just like our beloved Amma is doing for all of us!! Miss you Amma for this Christmas, but your mere look and touch have changed our lives! All of us are blessed indeed to have Amma in our lives! Merry Christmas to all of you!! 🙂
When Small I crosses Big I christ is born in every heart.Then love percolates, the pure love for god. the child of god is born to be reared in every heart. That is the real christmas.
Greetings
Giving. When I was young my family was poor but we received presents that thoughtful people bought anonymously and it meant so much to us. I also love the chance to think of the circumstances of Jesus’ birth, his gift to the world. I cry thinking of how much he must have loved us to come and suffer so much and still love everyone, just like our beloved Mother.
Renew christ in your heart
i like the writings of a man who discusses God here:
“this is also a celebration of the birth of the Christed one in all of us.”
…the message of this season is not about one blessed being, but about all beings, being blessed.
… But, my heart insisted, what if the gift WAS me? And what if the Lord HAS come to be in me, not over me? “
“Thyagenaike Amritatwamanashuhu”
(Through sacrifice alone is immortality attained)
I think Christ Lived up to this Great Teaching Of Ancient India.
anytime as anywhere and anything is to be used as the reminder of who we truly are.
‘Amma’ the’ Spiritual Master’ awakens this in us however then it is for this body to keep the flame of ‘Truth’ burning.
