World Embraces Joy and Enlightenment of Diwali – a Gift from Hindus
Diwali is a great festival and one of the best gifts to the world from Hindus, the gods’ own chosen people.
This festival, deeply rooted in Hindu civilization, epitomizes the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness.
It’s a time when Hindus across the globe rejoice in the homecoming of Bhagwan Ram, a memory that has for ages symbolized bravery and righteousness.
In the vibrant tapestry of Hindu festivals, Diwali holds a special place, reflecting the community’s deep-seated values and beliefs.
In all probability, there is little likelihood of there being any gods in the universe.
However, if there are any gods, they would certainly high-five the Hindu way of living, Hindu largeheartedness and distaste for unnecessary violence.
And there are umpteen reasons why polytheists make the best theists.
However, even among all the polytheists, Hindus must be the only people who have allowed a rich culture, heritage and philosophy to grow around the humanity of their gods.
The uniqueness of Hinduism lies in its polytheistic nature, embracing a multitude of deities, each symbolizing various aspects of life and the universe.
This polytheism is not mere idol worship but a celebration of the diversity of the divine.
The Hindu gods, with their human-like emotions and experiences, bring the divine closer to humanity.
They laugh, cry, dance, and fear, making divinity more accessible and relatable.
This humanization of gods is a testament to Hinduism’s inclusive philosophy, where even the divine is not beyond the realm of human understanding.
Only Hindu gods can cry, laugh, dance, sleep, wake up, fall sick, get cured, and even be scared.
So humanly they are.
This single reason is enough to make Hindus the best humans to live among and live with as the entire world bears witness.
Hinduism’s tolerance and acceptance extend beyond theological boundaries, encompassing various ideas, cultures, and even living creatures.
This all-embracing nature has allowed Hinduism to evolve and absorb diverse thoughts and practices, enriching its cultural and philosophical heritage.
It’s a religion that has consistently demonstrated resilience and adaptability, thriving amidst countless challenges over millennia.
So, Hindus world over are happy in celebrating the homecoming of Bhagwan Ram.
This Diwali comes with the happy news that the next Diwali the Ram Mandir would have its doors open for the devotees.
Let the light of Diwali spread happiness all around.
This festival is a reminder of the power of Hinduness and the importance of joy as much as of the importance of winning civilizational wars.
Every Diwali comes after winning a civilizational and existential war.
Hindus should never listen to fake atheists and myriad Javed Akhtars who are hell bent on making Hindus continue to waddle in deep amnesia of nonsensical infinite tolerance.
No Hindu can be tolerant of a Ravana.
And we deserve a Diwali only after we win a war.
And it is equally important to be able to choose one’s wars wisely too.
