CELEBRATING LIGHT, PEACE AND LOVE
I was invited to join some friends for the San Francisco Brahma Kumaris’ Diwali celebration, and to light a candle for peace.
It strikes me we can use a dose of Diwali in the USA today. The ancient Hindu festival of lights is celebrated by many religions — and my lovely Brahma Kumaris friends always welcome this Presbyterian.
So we listened to songs and soft music on the harp (Sr Kyoko is a spectacular harpist) and we exchanged Om’s and Om Shanti’s (gentle expressions of peace) and shared delicious vegetarian food and a great deal of friendship and hope.
The graceful Victorian home of Brahma Kumaris SF was ablaze in light for the season and the celebration.
Briefly, Diwali is a reminder that peace is possible, that love wins, and that light will always overcome darkness. Sometimes, notably in times of political upheaval, it’s easy to forget these truths.
Om shanti.
Yes, reminders of the light are always valuable! You look great! Beautiful home as well.
Blessings upon you, friend.
