On this Divine Occasion, may the light of truth and love shine over the darkness of hatred and bitterness.... May we find one more reason to get along....

It should be Deepaavali in Sanskrit(Deva Basha) and NOT Diwali,which is a Hindi corruption. Deepam= Light +.Aavali=arranged in a row or garland (Like Rathna Aavali=a garland of Precious stones)-"Festiwal of Lights"---"Tamaso maa Jyodhir Gamaya=from darkness lead me to Light.---"Happy Deepaavali to all".
