The Festival of Lights – Diwali – has always meant CELEBRATIONS – rows of lighted lamps and colourful bulbs, bursting of crackers, new clothes, exchanging gifts, festive meals, cleaning home thoroughly and opening doors and windows to welcome the Goddess of Wealth Mother Lakshmi.

Today is Diwali. This day, I encourage you to remove anger, hate, and jealousy from your lives. Let’s see the good in others, including enemies.

As I light lamp at my home, I wish you all a Happy Diwali.
