Dear Editor,
We must light up our hearts as a people, as a nation, as humanity, and then the world will light up. So, brightness must start with me.
I, Hajji Dr. Roshan Khan, and the Guyana Islamic Forum for Education, Peace and Religious Solidarity, the Electric Mosque’s Presentation of the Teachings of Islam, would like to take this opportunity to extend Diwali greetings to our Hindu brothers and sisters and our beautiful nation of Guyana, His Excellency President Irfaan Ali and family, distinguished members of the Government and the Opposition.
The holy lighting of the divine Lakshmi universal lights of peace, internal wealth, universal wealth and brightness of the universe starts with me. It starts with us as a nation, and in tandem of brilliant, wise hearts, all of humanity.
Diwali, founded by our ancestors of Ancient Bharat/ Hindustan/India, was conceptualised by the ancient ancestors to light the paths of the exiled Shri Ram, who went on a fourteen-year exile to demolish evil. For millions of years, the tradition persisted.
It has spread the world over, and is recognised as a symbol of internal peace firstly, national peace, and the ushering of wisdom in love of the world to all of humanity.
Hajji Dr Roshan Khan
