A single diya cannot banish all darkness, yet it loses nothing by lighting another. Therein lies the quiet wisdom of this festival: light, when shared, only multiplies.
More than 150 years ago, our ancestors carried this flame across the kala pani — the dark waters — to Suriname. Today it glows from Paramaribo to The Hague, and far beyond.
May this Divali bring light, peace and prosperity to you and all who are dear to you.
