Happiness Can Be Found, Even in the Darkest of Times, if One Only Remembers to Turn on the Light.
"Happiness tin be found fifty-fifty in the darkest of times, if ane only remembers to plough on the low-cal" – Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
This line captures the essence of the significant of Diwali, a festival which celebrates the victory of good over evil through the metaphor of light; an image which inspires qualities which uplift us and represents the ability we have to uplift others.
This idea is unfolded in the story of the Hindu epic: The Ramayana, which follows the story of Lord Ram in his journey to destroy evil and inspire the good as he rescues his beloved wife Sita. Through his journey he makes loyal friends such as Hanuman which prove him ultimate devotion and love and likewise defeats Ravana, a rex who believes in only the value of materialistic pleasures and represents the extreme of selfishness, ego and pride. This historic story celebrates the power a human has to touch on other hearts through their journey in life, and the power a homo has to do what is right.
The character of Ram represents an ideal, the ideal of a son, a hubby, a friend, a human, and through this concept Diwali is celebrated through the metaphor of low-cal, because of the power light has to illuminate and awaken our minds enabling u.s.a. to see clearly.
In a dark room where there is nothing but darkness a small candle can help to destroy that land by providing illumination; the darkness is and then not the overpowering country as the light the candle provides becomes the focus. In the same manner Diwali helps us to realise that in the darkest of times we can provide the light to our friends and family and help each other to see what is right and what is wrong defeating the negative and celebrating the good.
This message is celebrated by Hindus all over the world through the fun of fireworks and the pleasure of spending time with your loved ones and eating traditional dishes.
All students are invited to bring together the celebrations coordinated by Hindu and Asian Society, who will be providing a gratuitous day filled with Indian delights such every bit henna paintings and trip the light fantastic toe performances and a night filled with fireworks on fifteen Nov. Events first from 3pm in the Forum.
