Dear John, 

A Christmas miracle arrived a few days ago, in the form of a magnanimous gift just in time for the first World Brotherhood Day Celebration in the new temple. The donation—as unexpected as it was welcome—has so moved us that we wanted to share the joyful news with all of you.

We received a single contribution of $225,000, which more than meets the goal we had set through the end of the year. We have a long list of creative ideas for eagerly serving “more and better,” that wait only for funding to make them possible. If you feel inspired to make a gift in these closing weeks of the year,- know that it will be gratefully received, and serve as a channel of further blessings to others.

May this Christmas miracle bring you fresh inspiration in your divine quest. And may you deeply feel in this holy season the blessings of Paramhansa Yogananda, Swami Kriyananda, and the Light that your generosity brings to you and to the lives of so many others.
