Simply beautiful, Ellen! Love the quote (as profound as only Yogananda can be), and love the photos, especially the last one that depicts well the spirit of the seasonβcrystalline and soulful all at once. Thank you for sharing such meaningful content. Lots of light, love, and blessings to you; and (once again) Merry Christmas!!

“The consciousness of Christ is equally present throughout the cosmos.” Astounding words from this wise teacher and writer from the recent past. Thank you so much for introducing Paramahansa Yogananda, Ellen, and a preview of some of his thoughts. And many thanks, too for sharing the beautiful photos of Winter with the striking red colors amidst the cold landscape.

Thank you, dear D.G.!! π I am so happy you enjoyed Yogananda’s words. His books are very, very worth reading! The Hindu monk who did our renewal of vows ceremony is a monk in Yogananda’s Self-realization fellowship. He didn’t introduce me to Yogananda. I think I read him first when I was studying Reiki. And then continued reading him.
And thank you for appreciating the photos. They are all from upstate New York where we used to have a little barn house.
Hope you and your family are enjoying the holidays!

Namaskar Ji,
A beautiful reminder from Paramahansa Yogananda that divine consciousness is not confined, but all-pervading β alive in nature, humanity, and the entire cosmos. When this truth is felt, separation dissolves into sacred oneness. ππ
December 22, 2025 at 3:10 AM
YES! That all may feel that oneness!! Thank you so much!! All manner of blessings to you and yours, ππ½Ellen

Arun ji, yes and that means we must have compassion for all which I find most challenging!! Most challenging!! And so many times sorely fail at.
