Paramahansa Yogananda established a tradition of setting aside a day to celebrate the birth of Christ with an 8 hour meditation. Our president, Sri Daya Mata said, "Make deep devotional meditation, rather than outer busyness, the predominant theme of the holiday activities. Take time to enter the holy stillness, to approach with loving humility the One who cherishes you always and can give you the unfailing strength and guidance you need."
