Have a happy and safe Diwali!

Greetings and good wishes to all who are observing Diwali – the festival of lights. It is a season where Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists celebrate the triumph of one’s inner light over spiritual darkness, of good over evil. In a season when many holidays will be observed I hope that those observing Diwali find it meaningful and festive, and that we all appreciate how sharing and learning about our various traditions and beliefs can unify us and bring us together.
