World Brotherhood Day is an Ananda tradition which began in 1983. Every year we begin the holy season by giving our first gift to the world – the gift of financial support to strengthen the work of Ananda.
“The First Gift of the Season” is an affirmation of faith and support in the mission of Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda to share the truth of world brotherhood across the planet. Donations can be given in any amount, however, the World Brotherhood donation is traditionally the amount of approximately one day’s wage.
As Nayaswami Jyotish says, the energy of Master is “trying to create one world family, one nation under God, one universal culture, where there is no such thing as race or religion or creed or national origin; where everybody in the world is seen as a brother and a sister and we are all there because we are children of God.”
Our evening celebration will include sharing the story of Christmas through music and scripture, a personal blessing, and sharing delicious international treats and satsang.
We hope to see you there.
