Happy Diwali to Sikhs, Hindus & Jains!
 |
| A Diwali Diya (Candle) |
This year
Diwali falls on 26th of October which is the New Moon. Diwali is celebrated by
Sikhs, Hindus and Jains worldwide for different historical reasons that coincide
with the seasonal shift from autumn to winter.
For the
Sikhs, Diwali or Bandi Chorh Diwas, is the day the sixth Guru, Guru Hargobind,
was released from Gwalior Prison along with 52 Hindu Kings who he refused to
leave without after being wrongly imprisoned by Emperor Jahangir, ruler of the
Mughal Empire.
For the
Hindus, Diwali or Deepawali is the festival of lights marking the return of
Lord Rama, Sita and Lakshman from his 14 year long exile.
For the
Jains, Diwali marks the day Lord Mahavira attained enlightenment.
The deeper
meaning behind Diwali is that even in the darkest of nights, all it takes is a
small candle to illuminate the darkness. But what can we learn from these
stories in order to enhance our lives? How can we become a candle-light for
others?
We can
practice acting more valiant, noble and royal just like Guru Hargobind, Lord
Rama and Mahavira who were all of royal decent. Royal people never live an
ordinary life, they live to serve others with fairness, love and kindness.
Similarly,
we can also learn to act more valiant, noble and royal in each of our lives,
help spread a little more love in our families and our communities, and help
light up someone’s life – let’s make this Diwali a memorable one, full of
celebration, joy and light.

Superheros From Other Worlds
These movies get me thinking very deeply that each of us are superheros, but in order to realise this we must first unlock our gifts, our special powers which we naturally have had since birth. Some people are naturally intuitive, some have tremendous courage, some are extremely kind, some are very present to the moment, some can communicate very effectively, give great advice, some have a skill such as art or science or mathematics, some are musical, some are creative, some are fantastic at solving problems and others have a tremendous ability to get things done! Each of us is naturally talented or gifted in some way.
But a lot of people, in their view of themselves, do not believe they are gifted in any way. This is just the game of the ego. The ego limits us from realising our full potential. The ego acts to disguise who we really are and from recognising the incredible gifts we possess. The more we conquer the ego, the more clearer we see who we really are.
When I realised who I was, I felt an incredible power within me arise, I felt connected to the whole Universe, I understood the Universe's plan which it had in store for me and felt that I was born for a very special purpose. I remembered who I was and my destiny to complete on planet Earth. There was a wider plan in place which many spiritual beings had invested their time and energy into getting me to follow. I realised my origin, and this gave me tremendous peace, joy and a feeling of being humbled.
We are each superheros from other worlds who are visiting planet Earth for a special purpose. What is that purpose? Which superhero do you most relate to and why? Perhaps the superhero you most relate to, you desire to be like, or perhaps, you already are just like them?
Sat Naam.

My Voyage to India (Sep - Oct 2011)
My recent trip to India was a real experience and I had a lot of transformational experiences there! There's so much I want to say, but I'll keep it succinct:
Great Things About India
Growth - As India is developing, its slowly creating modern cities like Jalandhar, Chandigarh and Gurgaon, which are in complete contrast to other cities like Amritsar that still need massive redevelopment. Slow and steady wins the race
Efficiency - I've learnt that everything is possible, for example, travelling with your entire family (4 people) on standard a bicycle or motorcycle. Indians always make the most of what they have, rather than buying new equipment or infrastructure. If you don't have a ladder, use the wood in your garden (or your neighbour's garden) to build one
Spirituality - Its built into the fabric of the society with rituals, temples and ashrams at every corner. However, a lot of Indians take their spiritual heritage for granted and do not practice its teachings, which is a shame, but everyone respects their religion and other religions and ways of life too
Hospitality & Humility - Indians understand how to host people and are really a humble people at their core. Their hospitality is unrivalled to anything I've seen elsewhere.
Not-So-Great Things About India
Waste management - A lot of India stinks of not so nice things: urine and faeces. There needs to be a law passed to ban people from peeing on the pavement in public and also there's needs to be a government initiative to recycle and dispose waste properly. Currently most Indians just throw litter on the street or dump their rubbish into large mounds of waste which are usually in public places - horrible! This is a reflection of India's emotional consciousness too, of not properly disposing their internal emotional waste
Road safety - There are no laws of the road, anything goes. You can even go in the reverse direction on a motorway! Although I personally did not see any accidents, a recent article by Times of India claims 14 people died every hour in India in 2008. They go on to say that, "While trucks/lorries and two-wheelers were responsible for over 40% deaths, the rush during afternoon and evening hours were the most fatal phases". I have to say I'm not surprised and this is in line with what I have seen
Anger & Sexual Repression - I saw a lot of anger and sexual repression - which are often linked together. The more sexually repressed a society is, the more anger which is prevalent. India has just awoken to the sexual freedom of the West, where sex is seen as important for pleasure just as much as it is for procreation. However, in becoming more sexually expressed, India is losing its grace and humility, the roots from which it came, and this goes onto my second point...
Still Growing - Because India is in massive growth and transition, its like a child trying to act like its older Western brother and in the process forgetting its identity, its values and its roots. Sure, the western lifestyle is appealing, but India has still yet to mature and learn how to balance its values with the new wave of Western culture.
Initially therefore, a lot of the younger generation are experimenting with new ideas of having boyfriends and girlfriends, going to night clubs, partying, taking drugs, indulging in all the things their parents would never indulge in. Eventually though, when India matures it will rediscover its spiritual roots, its grace from which is came, and the peace India has shared with the world shall again be restored back to India.

"Just as all colour comes from white light, all religion comes from consciousness.
Focus on white light. Focus on consciousness. Then you will understand religion in all its colours."
