India, Nov. 7 -- Diwali is more than a festival of lights; it is a reminder that the greatest darkness lies not around us, but within us. This Diwali, let us light the lamps of love, compassion and bhakti in our hearts, allowing their divine radiance to illuminate not only our lives but also the lives of those around us

The significance of light in human life lies not merely in its ability to dispel darkness, but also in the vision it gives us. Light enables us to see the world around us, but its deeper purpose is to help us recognise the emotions and impulses hidden within ourselves. Are they noble and virtuous?
