I received the most amazing and beautiful Diwali greeting from a member of a Facebook group I help moderate Caribbean Entrepreneurs Association Online. The group’s founder, Guru Dan, says this about the Hindu festival:
To those of you in this group who are not famaliar with the Divali (Diwali) festival of lights…today Hindus all over the world pay tribute to and honour the mother of mothers, Mahalakshmi, or Lakshmi Mata (Mother Lakshmi)…she is the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity (both material and spiritual), fortune, and the embodiment of beauty. The festivals of Diwali and Kojagiri Purnima are celebrated in her honour. To simplify it I think of the festival as a tribute and honour to mothers all around the globe…:)
Vipul Tank posted this wonderful greeting (to me and all mothers)
