It is a magical time of the year for giving and sharing. Dressed in brilliant silks and glittering gold jewellery friends and families gather together, share sumptuous meals, watch glittering fireworks and light earthen lamps called diyas. Ancient tales of battles between good and evil are passed down from one generation to the next.

Hindu philosophy teaches us that there is something beyond the physical body and mind, which is pure, infinite, and eternal, called the Atman. The celebration of Diwali as the "victory of good over evil" refers to an inner light of higher knowledge. With this awakening comes the awareness that ignorance is dispelled by knowledge and compassion.
