"When the Christ Consciousness comes to you, you find within you the whole cosmos, with whirling worlds and universes hanging like ornaments around the Christmas tree of the spine. That is how Jesus celebrated 'Christmas,' the birth of Christ Consciousness within him."

Paramahansa Yoganandaji inaugurated the custom of holding an all-day meditation service during the Christmas season to foster communion with the Christ Consciousness, which he said constitutes the true celebration of Christmas.
