Happy Diwali! Message of Hope: From the Age of Darkness to the Age of Light

7 November 2021

Forwarding Diwali article published in several newspapers with good reviews!!  Happy Diwali,  Love, Sr Chirya

From the Age of Darkness to the Age of Light

 

Illustration: Brahma Kumaris

Although the origins of  Christmas and Diwali, the Festival of Lights, are several thousand years apart, the message and methods of celebration are quite similar.  Both celebrations have the underlying theme of the light of brotherly love, peace and mutual respect.  The message of Christmas and Diwali (celebrated this year on November 5), is about the renewal of life, family bonding, giving and receiving of gifts, blessings, good wishes, singing, dancing and lightening up your life..  New clothes, new year, sweets, colorful decorations everywhere all add to the joyous nature.  Candles and millions of sparkling lights illuminate homes and businesses signifying the 'awakening' of soul consciousness and reminding us we are divine points of light.  The star at the top of the Christmas tree reminds us of God's eternal light.  For Diwali, thousands of small lighted deepaks (wicked oil lights)  float down the rivers on leaves as a memorial of a time when each individual lived in this higher consciousness, naturally aware of being souls. Both celebrations have wonderful spiritual messages, which became diluted and forgotten over time as we changed from being introverted to extroverted; from being soul conscious to body conscious.   

Here's the unfolding story:

"In the winter of the world, the light within us grew dim.  In the darkness, we lost our way in confusion.  Too many thoughts and worries delude and freeze us into inaction in our search for the meaning of life.  A chill of change clouds the mind.  Forgetfulness fills the air covered with the illusion of beauty. But, a glimmer of light; a glow of soft peace, always there within the soul, awakens the feelings of pure love and memories of our innate goodness. The dark clouds of doubt disappear; new hope and spiritual energy fill the soul, as the Supreme Sun of Knowledge gives courage, understanding and strength to every cold ‘branch’ and ‘twig’ of this eternal Tree of Humanity.  God is only a thought away; always there to show the way,   God as the Creator, the Eternal Guiding Light of Knowledge, ignites our extinguished spiritual lights with the water of new knowledge and the flame of His loving remembrance and makes us worthy. The soul awakens and remembers with delight, ‘I am light and you are light.’  The Winter of the world enlightened, blossoms into a pure, peaceful heavenly world of happiness, where brotherly love creates harmony, as the light of the soul is constantly lit."

Now in this current Winter of the World we can shine our inner light of love again to bring the return of happiness and harmony. "Let your little light shine, let it shine, let it shine!", because the whole world now needs the light of soul consciousness.  It  takes only a moment to move away from the current Age of Darkness to the Age of Light..  Become the living lights, connected to the One True Light to awaken others to shine, and the darkness vanishes like it was never there.  We celebrate the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance and hope over despair.by recognizing our true inner wealth of love, generosity, prosperity and spirit. The timeless message of Christmas and Diwali:  "May God’s constant loving Light be reflected through our rekindled light".

The Peace Studio event at Big Brothers Big Sisters in Miami, USA

7 November 2021

 

 

Miami, Florida (USA): Transforming the world is alive and well in South Florida!  This was evident when more than 40 distinguished journalists, artists and social activists came together over a breakfast gathering organized by the non-profit The Peace Studio. This event was held at Big Brothers Big Sisters in Miami.
 
The Peace Studio Board Members BK Meredith, an  Independent Media Producer/Host, and POLITICO’S Global News Editor John Yearwood organized this program.   BK Marianne, who is Vice President, Continuing Education at Big Brothers Big Sisters, helped  host and facilitate. The attendees were delighted to meet and hear from The Peace Studio Executive Director Thomas West who came in from Boston. His message: it is journalists and artists who can help bring about significant positive change in society through the stories they tell and the work that they create.  Other participants in the program included BK Shireen who led  a meditation and BK Donna who was part of the organizing committee. The 21-year-old non-profit Images and Voices of Hope recently merged with The Peace Studio.
The event was extremely  successful, with more to come in the near future!
Following the program, BK Waddy hosted a lunch at the BK Miami Center for John Yearwood, Thomas West and Meredith Porte, which was followed by meditation.
