the Festival of Lights


I celebrated Diwali at the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork this saturday night. This is also known as the Festival of Lights, Diwali- “Deepawali” (Deepa=lamps, Wali=row: rows of lamps). This is to bring in the best for the upcoming year. We each took a candle and placed them in sand to make unselfish wishes for ourselves and the world. Mine was content and peace for all.


This event takes place between fall harvests and the new year and is a time for thanksgiving with no less than 108 preparations for the feast. There was much dancing and eating and worship of cows.
