Christmas' True Meaning

Christmas’ True Meaning

It’s actually kind of, sort of like that! The Christians’ winter holiday is celebrated using various traditions and trappings of a variety of other, earlier established religions, either directly or indirectly appropriated from them and their worshippers’ cultures. 😆 Even the date of Christmas was likely coopted in this fashion under the rule of Emporer Constantine in the 4th century AD.

And, you know what? Meh. Who cares? One, this sort of thing happens. Two, they lost their war over Christmas decades ago… to their own culture.

Sundarata Vidya Hai

Sundarata Vidya Hai
(Beauty Is True, Perfect Wisdom)

It’s Diwali! The holiday kind of snuck up on me this year. So, here’s my offering of “lights” to celebrate this festival and to remind myself and others that beauty is true, perfect wisdom.

May your life be as colorful, shimmering, and magical as the lights of Diwali. And may the light of beauty set afire the true, perfect wisdom in your heart and banish the darkness in your mind.
