Om Sai Ram!

We are once again greatly pleased to present the thoughts and words of our beloved Swami and our fellow youth on this issue's topic -- "The True Meaning of Christmas and the Universal Message of Jesus Christ". SYAN would cease to be viable if not for the grace of our Lord and the support of our readers and contributors and we take this and every opportunity to express our gratitude towards both. Of special note is announcement by the NEC of young adults representation on the the Central Council of the USA Sai Organization

Sai80 -- You will hear that phrase among YA circles and on these pages through the end of the year. This is a YA initiative as we prepare for our Lord's 80th birthday and related celebrations. Read all about it on Page 10. In our Q&A section on page 9, we look forward to your thoughts on the listed questions. Stay tuned to our printed edition and online at www.saiyausa.net for more information on this initiative and how you can participate.

"Even in the depths of winter, there is change," a friend recently remarked, "the days grow longer ever so slightly, and the nights shorter." Winter is a time of change, and it so for SYAN as well. We are restructuring our operations and proceedures and are looking for your continued support. If you can help in any and all capacities of a publication, please write to us at contact@syan.org. We are especially looking for help from young adults for help with reporting. Stay tuned over the next few days as we announce the topic of the next issue.

Jai Sai Ram!
