Spreading love beyond boundaries

In a time when divisions often overshadow unity, I want to share something beautiful that touched my heart. This Christmas, I celebrated the holiday with my Christian friends in Bangalore. Amidst the laughter, joy, and the warmth of friendship, we also exchanged gifts as part of a Secret Santa tradition. To my surprise, one of the gifts I received from a dear Christian friend was the book “Bhagavad Gita As It Is”. It was a moment that reminded me of the true essence of festivals—not about religion, but about love, sharing, and mutual respect. I’ve always wanted to read the Bhagavad Gita, and now, thanks to this gesture, I’ve decided to dive into its wisdom. This simple act of giving is a reminder of how much we can learn from each other when we embrace diversity with open hearts. Let’s choose unity over division, love over hate, and understanding over prejudice. Celebrating each other’s festivals doesn’t dilute our identity—it enriches it. Let’s come together to celebrate humanity, where every faith, every tradition, and every belief adds its own beauty to the world. Wishing everyone peace, love, and unity this holiday season!
