Diwali: Opportunity for introspection and lighting up lives of others

Professor Brij Maharaj

There are many religious reasons for celebrating Diwali, also known as Deepavali, the most well-known of which include the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya from exile, Lord Krishna’s victory over the demon King Narakasura, and the return of the five Pandava brothers to Hastinapura from exile. In essence, the celebration of Diwali is associated with the victory of righteousness over evil and ignorance. It is marked by the illumination of homes and the hearts of those who observe it.
