First, I wish all my students and friends from India (and everyone who celebrates it) a very Happy Diwali! 🙂

What is Diwali?

 

Diwali or Deepavali is the Hindu festival of lights celebrated every year in autumn in the northern hemisphere (spring in the southern hemisphere). One of the major festivals of Hinduism, it spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair.

 

Its celebration includes millions of lights shining on house tops, outside doors and windows, and around temples and other buildings in the community.

And here comes the most exciting and coolest part – as you might know, I was in India (for my seminars) last year during this time (October 2015). I celebrated this Festival of Lights and there’s no doubt that I enjoyed it very much. 🙂

 

Today, I’m going to share with you this amazing experience of mine – a video of my wife and I celebrating Diwali. You can watch the video below and enjoy it:
