  • Diwali (12Th to 16Th November 2020) from Darkness to Light
    Diwali (12th to 16th November 2020) From Darkness to light. Diwali, a.k.a Deepavali is a major Indian festival spread over 5 days that is very significant in Hinduism known as the "Festival of Lights," it symbolizes the victory of good over evil, and lamps (diyas) are lit as a sign of celebration and hope for humankind. "Regardless of the explanations one prefers, what the festival of lights really stands for today is a reaffirmation of hope, a renewed commitment to friendship and goodwill, and a religiously sanctioned celebration of the simple Ð and some not so simple Ð joys of life." Before we continue with this most humble rendition of Deepavali by the mercy of our most loving and merciful Mother Sarasvati we yet again read in the papers and we have received so many calls and emails on ªWhen are we supposed to celebrate Diwali this yearº. I am sure you have heard of this and we in this article are going to explain it in a rather simple yet dignified manner. Please note as you have read from the many articles that we send out we are totally against segregation we are fully for congregation regardless of one©s color, creed, dialect, race and whatever else that is distasteful. OK to cut a rather long and tedious story short let's get to the bottom of the Diwali issue. Please hold on to your seats because the information that you are going to read is going to be rather shocking to say the least. Firstly there is no such word as Hindu (Hinduism).
