Together we will sing the classic Christmas carols, creating a festive atmosphere that resonates with the spirit of togetherness. An arathi, a symbolic offering of light, will infuse the service with a sense of unity and shared celebration honoring both the Christmas holiday and the Jayanthi of Sri Swami Satchidananda. Come and be part of a Christmas Eve service that embraces the warmth of tradition, the joy of music, and the spirit of unity.
