Dear reader:
Our sincere and very best wishes for good health and happiness to you and for every one in your family.
Festivals like Diwali (Deepavali) are also occasions to rejoice and share the blessings in life we have with every one who matters to us. They are also occasions to think of all those around us whose lives we can make a little better through a kind word, small help or merely through a gentle smile in our heart wishing good will to all and ill will to no one. When in our mind those who “matter to us” becomes limitless though an inclusion of all and exclusion of none, then divinity within each of us shines like the illumination from every lamp we light for Diwali. May these thoughts fill your body, mind and intellect as you celebrate this Diwali.
Diwali is a festival of lights. Attached are images from two lovely greetings I received today. Below are links to two of our earlier posts on the significance of lamp as a symbol to reflect on Spirituality:
