The influence of Hinduism is all over the church and our lives beyond its stone walls: We wear saris and dhotis to church, light traditional lamps, apply sandalwood paste on our foreheads, and choose auspicious days to schedule important events. Our girls sport the round dots resembling Hollywood laser-sight spots on their foreheads, and every Christian in the south celebrates Diwali with the same fervor as any Hindu
Merlin Franco (Saint Richard Parker)
You cannot celebrate the festival of light before combating the darkness within
Kapil Raj (ENDURER A Rape Story)
On an average, we celebrate 4-5 festivals per month. There are the major ones like Christmas and Diwali and then there are minor ones like whatsitsname-get-drunk-and-dance-in-front-of-temple-near-bomanahalli festival.
Rachna Singh
Gertrude reckoned sherry had been as much to do with Myrtle’s early retirement as had the demands of celebrating Diwali.
John Wiltshire (The Buckland-in-the-Vale and Sandstone Tor Gay Book Club (Inaugural Meeting))
You cannot celebrate the festival of light before combating the darkness within
Kapil Raj
Sonnet of Festivals Christmas isn't about the decorations, It's about compassion. Hanukkah isn't about the sufganiyot, It's about amalgamation. Ramadan isn't about the feast, It's about affection. Diwali isn't about the lights, It's about ascension. Our world is filled with festivals, But what do they really mean? Celebrating them with cultural exclusivity, Makes us not human but savage fiend. Every festival belongs to all of humanity, For happiness has no religious identity.
Abhijit Naskar (I Vicdansaadet Speaking: No Rest Till The World is Lifted)
Diwali was the Festival of Lights. The celebration of the goodness in this world over darkness. A holiday that could be whatever anyone wanted it to be. And for Sam and me, having first fallen for each other on Diwali, I knew it would always be the day we celebrated our love for each other, too.
Sonya Lalli (A Holly Jolly Diwali)
...Secularism has two meanings: the Western concept makes a clear distinction between functions of the State which includes politics and functions of religion which are confined to places of worship, public or private. This is the concept that Nehru accepted, preached and practiced. The other concept was equal respect for all religions. This was propagated and observed by men like Bapu Gandhi and Maulana Azad and lasted as long as the two men were alive. After that it deteriorated to a mere display of religiosity. If you were a devout Hindu you went to a Muslim dargah or threw an Iftar party to prove you were secular. If you were Muslim, you celebrated Diwali with your Hindu friends. Secularism was reduced to a sham display. Time has shown that as far as secularism is concerned, Nehru was right; Gandhi and Azad were wrong.
Khushwant Singh
What has been missed out here is that the Indian traders of eastern India have discovered the Monsoon patterns many centuries before Hippalus. It was their knowledge of the wind patterns in the Eastern Sea that helped them navigate to Southeast Asia with the retreating Monsoon in late October and sail back to India with the advancing Monsoon in May. The event of starting off the sea voyage is still symbolically celebrated in Odisha as the festival of Bali Jatra (voyage to Bali). The festival is celebrated on the full moon of the Hindu month of Kartik (fifteen days after Diwali).
Vijender Sharma (Essays on Indic History)
They all lived within a stone’s throw from the gurdwara, went to Punjabi school twice a week, and hung out together afterward at one another’s houses—watching Bollywood movies or Punjabi dramas, or practicing bhangra dances they made up and performed at folk festivals and celebrations.
Sonya Lalli (A Holly Jolly Diwali)

Santosh Kumar
Diwali is not just a festival but way of celebrating the true homecoming, welcoming your true-self to your mind, body and soul.
Vikrmn: CA Vikram Verma (Yog To Yoga)
Bhagwan Ram won't fight the evils for you but you can pray him to bless you courage like him to fight evils all by yourself and celebrate Diwali.
Vikrmn: CA Vikram Verma (Yog To Yoga)
Diwali is celebrating with diyas, lighting up in heart too, for inner illumination.
Vikrmn: CA Vikram Verma (Yog To Yoga)
This is what my Christmas looks like, And my Hanukkah, Ramadan, Diwali 'n Onam. I don't get to celebrate any of the festivals, So that the world can, without discrimination.
Abhijit Naskar (Yarasistan: My Wounds, My Crown)
Happy Holidays (The Sonnet) Spirit of Christmas doesn't grow on a fir tree, Christmas blooms wherever the heart is hatefree. Ramadan isn't fulfilled by feasting on some tasty beef, The greatest of feast is haram if others go hungry. Hanukkah's miracle isn't about the oil lasting 8 days, Rather it's about the resilience of light amidst darkness. Fireworks may be diwali for those still in kindergarten, Everyday is diwali for an existence rooted in kindness. The will to love and the will to lift are the backbone, Of all human celebration, tradition and communion. Take that fundamental will out of the equation, All you have left are rituals without meaning and mission. Fasting, feasting and decorating are step two of any festival. First and foremost, at our altar within, we gotta light a candle.
Abhijit Naskar (Sin Dios Sí Hay Divinidad: The Pastor Who Never Was)
Though Diwali celebrated light banishing darkness, Ravana was not a flat villain. And Ram was not an infallible hero.
Parini Shroff (The Bandit Queens)
INDIAN ARMED FORCES SOLDIERS CAN CELEBRATE NEITHER THEIR HOLI NOR DIWALI NOR EID NOR CHRISTMAS NOR OTHER FESTIVALS, THEY KNOW ONLY ONE FESTIVAL, GUARDING THE BORDER.
Sachin Ramdas Bharatiya
Diwali echoes the sparking lights of unity, love and compassion. Each diya carries the promise of shared values of joy.
Amit Ray (Peace Bliss Beauty and Truth: Living with Positivity)
Deepawali - The holy light Yesterday it was the festival of lights, Bright, sparkling, endlessly shimmering lights, With children running on the lanes that led everywhere, Because on this day happiness takes a stroll everywhere, It was a scene of joy and happiness, A moment to celebrate togetherness, While many indulged in savouring sweets, Many felt just walking and talking on these ever stretching streets, That on this day, led everywhere, Because on this day everyone seemed to appear in these streets from nowhere, Life had acquired an eloquent rush, life was in a flow of its own, And one felt the the joy of a holy kiss unknown, They say on this day good prevailed over evil, But I say, on this day humans realised nothing is more beautiful than a beautiful human will!” In the night the sky was lit with fire crackers that carried someones joys into the sky, And when I saw them bursting in the sky, I thought of you often my love, not just by and by, Until it was late in the night and the playfulness of the festive day decided to repose, And I too called it a day, as my imaginations, now your beautiful dreams composed!
Javid Ahmad Tak (They Loved in 2075!)
There is no such thing as Hinduism - the actual phrase is Sanatana Dharma, which is not a religion, but an everyday sense of oneness or advaita - which is the very backbone of the Indian society. Only in India people celebrate Eid with as much enthusiasm as they celebrate Diwali - they celebrate Christmas with as much enthusiasm as they celebrate Nanak Jayanti - and that's Sanatana Dharma for you.
Abhijit Naskar (Bulletproof Backbone: Injustice Not Allowed on My Watch)
If you don’t put out your best dress, eat lots of sweets, enjoy the view, then what’s even the point of celebrating the Diwali?
Sarvesh Jain
