Christmas Celebrations at Prasanthi Nilayam

Like all festivals, Christmas is celebrated in a deeply spiritual and fulfilling manner in Prasanthi Nilayam, Puttaparthi, and observing it only makes one ponder deeper about why we celebrate this holy day. In the true spirit of the Christian tradition, the Prasanthi Christmas is focused on the birth and life of Jesus Christ, the beloved son of God, and his teachings of love and forgiveness. What makes this celebration holistic is the fact that Christians from all over the world, speaking different languages, descend upon the divine valley to celebrate the most sacred day in the Christian calendar in the divine presence of the Poorna Avatar, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. They are joined by seekers from every possible faith who share the spirit of the season, resonating Bhagawan Baba’s call that there is only one religion, the religion of love. In the abode of Bhagawan Baba, the entire task of bringing alive the spirit of Christmas through sights, sounds and love is shouldered personally by teams of dedicated Sai devotees.
