I guess the first party does not need any wishes!!! :)
And the second doesn't need wishes, they need our sympathy :lol:
Happy Deepavali.
May the souls of those killed and injured today in New Delhi in preparation for celebrations of welcoming of the one who gave light to the world, rise higher.
I wish you all a good Vahzukkal too! :lol:Quote:

In the west Halloween is in October and the kids born in these countries celebrate it with a pumpkin ad witch dressing (mostly in black scary clothing and face mask) which signifies that the wicked witch is out. For Hindus, Deepavali night is supposed to be the darkness night - light gained victory over that dark night. Yes its kind of similar. For Hindus, the dark night is signified by Ravana over which light triumphed. So there is a parallel.
If you care to know how we Hindus celebrate Deepavali in the west, please place your request. Actually I just got back from an 'eight" hour "Grand Diwali Mela" in which the Indians from India and people of Indian origin and their children took part in cultural programs. There was no difference in the sight and acting of these people (Indians from India and people of Indian origin). Some "three thousand" were gathered. They were all one. I noticed the same on Sunday morning services. It is a different thing when you get to know people and they get to know you in person.
Happy diwali wishes to all

The protestant church turned this day to All Hallowed Evening that became Halloween.
