Premavatar Swami Vishwananda just gave a short Satsang for
everyone a few minutes ago, talking about the "Meaning of Christmas" (mid-afternoon, Germany time, around 3:00 p.m. – December 24, 2012).
He talked about the three aspects of the true meaning of Christmas: Peace, Love, and Surrender. He said that of all these three, you only need Surrender to God in order to have all of them. Surrender leads to Love, and Love leads to Peace.
He also said that it might be surprising to some people that we're all still here after the 21st of December, but that actually there was a major astronomical event of great importance. However, it wasn't on the 21st of December, but it was *yesterday*, the 23rd. He said that this is a very special time, when all seven of the doors of Vaikuntha (the heavenly residence of Narayana and Lakshmi) are open - that this happens only once in millions of years. He said that this special energy will remain for three days - yesterday, today, and for Christmas.
He also talked about how each person and action is directed by the Divine, and that each person themselves IS a Divine manifestation to move from the negative aspects to the positive aspects (which everyone has in them - even the saints). It depends on what you give importance to within yourself. If you want to attain Realization, focus within your heart, and surrender the circumstances outside so that they help grow this positivity. Analyzing your thoughts and your actions outside will help you to come closer to the Divine that you have inside.
There soon may be a recording released of Swami's talk.
