Below is the greeting message from His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

Happy Diwali to all of you. Diwali is a festival of lights. Here the light signifies wisdom. We need to globalize wisdom today. People from various culture, religion, nationality and gender will have to come together and realize – we are all part of one human family. Let us on this auspicious occasion of Diwali resolve to spread peace, to unite people in love and celebration, to bring prosperity. This is the occasion to let go of past bickering and misunderstanding and once again come together in spirit of celebration. All the best to everyone of you. Happy Diwali to every one of you!
