The Guyana Islamic Federation for Religious Solidarity and Human Development sends out greetings of peace, joy and a fulfilled destiny to all our Hindu brothers and sisters, and to the world over. We extend sincere greetings to His Excellency President Dr. Irfaan Ali, the Cabinet, Leader of the Opposition, and to all our citizens, to enjoy this day in peace, safety, love and harmony.
The Festival of Lights is something that is exceptionally celebrated now the world over by one and a half billion people of Indian descent. The Diaspora of ancient Bharat, India, has taken the message of love and goodness of the One Humanity through the Festival of Lights to the world. It has spread goodness, peace and love among all people, and has influenced people of other faiths to respect Sanatan Dharma from the ancient land of Bharat.
The philosophy of our Excellency President Dr. Irfaan Ali matches in the most congenial way the wisdom and philosophy of Diwali, which in our case is a true One Guyana philosophy. A true One Guyana principle where all our people must unite and work for the development, goodness and growth of our peoples, and the opportunities for all must be enjoyed, as it is being worked upon by Excellency President Dr. Irfaan Ali. Not only on Diwali, but the One Guyana philosophy must live in our hearts forever and ever, and we all must learn to enjoy each other’s holidays in peace and joy and full respect.
May the Holy Lights of Diwali, the diyas of the earth, spread peace, health and goodwill in our own hearts, among our families, and families to families in our country for a true One Guyana.
