A VERY HAPPY DIWALI!
"Diwali, a variation of the Sanskrit word Deepavali, refers to the rows of earthen lamps celebrants place around their homes. Hindus believe that the light from these lamps symbolizes illumination within the individual that overwhelms ignorance, represented by darkness. In addition to the spiritual significance the day holds for Hindus, the resolution also explains the importance of the day to Sikhs and Jains. Sikhs celebrate the release of the Sixth Guru, Hargobind, from captivity by the Mughal Emperor Jehangir and Jains commemorate Diwali as the day Lord Mahavira, the last of the Tirthankaras, attained Nirvana, or liberation, after his death in 527 B.C. This year Diwali is being celebrated on October 21."
