As the day dawns to embrace Diwali, the Hinduism observed Festival of Lights, I, a Christian true to the basic tenets of Christianity that spreads love and brotherhood between all, wish from the bottom of my heart to my Hindu brethren all over the World ‘A VERY HAPPY DIWALI’. Our Universe is one; so is our Creator. We practice different religions and religion-wise we had depicted God in different forms, names and exploits. Let us be true to our faith, but let us also be above RELIGION, RACE AND REGION in our outlook on humanity. I request all my brethren in Yahoo Forum irrespective of faith and belief to send Diwali Greetings to our Hindu brethren all over the world and spread the message of Love and Universal Brotherhood among mankind.
What is the meaning behing the Festival of Diwali in Hinduism?
Thanks
