Every time I viewed “Season’s Greetings 2025” by Gurumayi ji, it brought a tingling feeling to my heart and a smile to my face! I felt that my Guru had remembered me, and is sending her love to me. I loved the singing of the bird, who seemed to be saying, “Come and let’s celebrate God!”
As the comet followed the golden star near the end, I felt they were having fun, playing together, and merging into each other—like my Guru and me!

Gurumayi’s “Season’s Greetings 2025” took me to a place of such ease. Watching the beautiful video, I felt protected, serene, and joyful.
I also had an insight that day-to-day moments, such as quietly sitting by a fireplace, can lead to the experience of freedom and harmony with the world and universe I live in. I can enter the experience of timelessness as I absorb myself in a peaceful moment in time.

As I commit to discipline in my sadhana, to kindness, and to caring for the world around me, I’m learning to walk in the way my precious Guru exemplifies. Like the two dancing stars in this “Season’s Greetings” video, I’m learning to dance in the light my Guru leads me to.

My experience of Gurumayi’s warm, loving embrace in “Season’s Greetings 2025” led me to the coziness of my own heart. I saw the burning fire as the fire of love, the eternal fire of grace, burning away all my doubts, my sense of smallness, and anything that keeps me from experiencing Gurumayi’s pure love. This gave me the conviction that no matter when and how seasons of life change, or time changes from the light of day to the darkness of night, Gurumayi’s love is always present.
The verse from Shrimad Bhagavad Gita conveyed to me that my Shri Guru is ever present as my own inner Self. She is love, and I am the same love. There is no moment of time when she is not with me. Yes, Gurumayi and I are one; how divine this feels!
It seems a special blessing that Gurumayi gave us this teaching on December 1, which this year is Gita Jayanti, the day when it is said that Lord Krishna imparted the teachings of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita to his disciple, Arjuna.

As the fire crackled softly, my nine-year-old boys told me that they felt close to Gurumayi’s love. One said that he felt embraced in a cocoon of warmth from the fire’s glow. He was inhaling and getting so relaxed while imagining what time of the day the light reflection was. My other boy was finding surprises in the ornaments: an AUM and a hummingbird. They kept saying how magical it was. One of them was in awe and just so relaxed by the sound of the fire, while the other gazed upward, captivated by the sun, moon, and galaxies. Each moment was like a sweet and serene journey, a gentle reminder of calmness and joy.
I am grateful for this beautiful experience my children and I had of experiencing Gurumayi’s love.

This beautiful video reminds me that the purpose of every moment of life is to experience the Self. Watching “Season’s Greetings” plunges me into the intimacy of my heart. As I listen to the classical music, admire the aurora borealis, hear the bird sing, savor the radiance of the fire, and take the time to contemplate the moon and the sun—I enter into happiness. As the external sights and sounds that connect me to happiness slowly fade, I continue to rejoice in a heart that delights in itself.
Going directly to my heart to find the essence of happiness is, for me, a foundational way I practice austerity. In the hearth of my meditation, the mantra and the breath connect me to an inner fire that shines with its own light.

This “Season’s Greetings” video from Gurumayi is so beautiful! The majestic piano music feels like it is awakening my soul and telling me, “Wake up to the dance of life!”
I love the small clocks decorating the bottom of the two Christmas trees; they bring my awareness to Gurumayi’s Message for 2025 and remind me to honor my time and use it well. I also see the clocks as a sweet gesture of bidding farewell to this year and beginning to usher in the one coming in. And I especially love that each clock is set at a different time—a reminder to me that there is time to work, time to rest, time to give thanks, and time to read a book or dance. So many possibilities, so many roads, and they can all lead me to the experience of the Self.
Oh, how I love this incredible video!
California, United States
For me, Gurumayi’s “Season’s Greetings 2025” is a joyful summation of the teachings I have received from her Message for 2025.
From the opening moment in the light-filled universe, the images took me on a journey through time—sunrise, sunset, light, dark, day, night. The ever-changing images were reflected in the mercurial piano music, which moved between the contemplative opening theme to dynamic, swiftly moving passages. At the unperturbed heart of all this ebb and flow was the statement by Lord Krishna from Shri Bhagavad Gita, which I understood to be about the nature of the true Self, beyond the fluctuations of time.
By the end of my journey, as the luminous full moon dissolved and the music merged into silence, I was in a state of utter stillness. I cherish and treasure this profound gift from Shri Gurumayi, and will return to it again and again.
