Diwali — or Deepavali as it's known in Sanskrit — is one of the most important holidays of the year for Hindus. It marks the victory of good over evil and light over darkness, which is represented by lighting candles inside homes and setting off fireworks.
Deepawali - Deepa + Awali = Row of Lights
Lets darkness go and light prevail.
It is a Victory of Good over Evil.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake
