Diwali, also called Deepavali, is the Hindu festival of lights, with variations celebrated in other Indian religions such as Jainism and Sikhism. It symbolizes the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.
To all who are celebrating may this be a great time of faith, blessings, light over darkness, and love.
From the “Welcome To Nightvale” Instagram feed. This is something dark to think about or something like that.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles by it.
Be brave to let your light shine. Fear not good people. May you find courage to be bright. Grace and peace and love to you all today.
Light and water are two things that make life possible. They are also things that can cleanse our hearts and souls. Water can flood and end life. Too much light can blind and burn. It’s amazing how a candle can interrupt the darkness. Water can quench a thirst. We need light to bring forth the truth.
It’s water that can generate power to create artificial light. In my faith life is brought into existence by the light of the sun and the waters of Earth as spoken into existence by God. They are connected and essential to every living thing across the universe. May we be guardians of the light and stewards of the waters.
Let there be light. May water give life.
Good people are like candles; they burn themselves up to give others light.
