Diwali is here,
Lets give it a cheer! Following it, is our Hindu New Year...
We have fun, food and sweets And we always dress very neat!
You shouldn't forget to forgive each other, And respect your
mother and father. We're always happy, And getting so much love.
We love our guru oh so much we shouldn't forget the blessings
he gives us.. The most important is to worship and pray, And
think about this poem, And tell me why diwali is important to
you!

Today’s
the `Festival of Lights’ all o’er; A joyful day
for minds and hearts and souls; And people throng the Temples
to offer, Prayers, resolving to take better roles. And most
of them are richly clad and clean, And eat such dainty foods
and sweets with mirth; Whilst noisy crackers burst, their lights
are seen, It seems to be a happy day on Earth! But are there
not hearts woe-filled, very sad? Denied of laughter, smiles
for days; Today’s the triumph of Good over bad; But what
about the wastage in much ways? True joy is when you see someone
else smile! True charity gives joy in Heav’nly style.

Diwali has come!
it is a time of piece. A time of prayer and devotion. It brings
hope to all those in need. But the only thing that puts a smile
on me. Is the way people celebrate Diwali!

He Maharaj, he
Swami, he Pramukh Swami Maharaj. As the new year begins, I start
off with a fresh new start,so please help me correct the mistakes
I made in the year before. Let me stay firm in my niyam dharma
and always keep you on my mind and in my top priorities. I make
a goal every diwali and work to accomplish it througout the
year. Last year I made a goal to take more challenging niyams,
and I did. I don't eat out, watch T.V., watch movies,ect., but
this year I wanted to focus on something a little abstract.
This year I want to conquer laziness, and to stop abhav avagun.
So, please help me be able to accomplish my goals and make Swamishri
happy when he comes in 2007. Also our Atlanta Shikharbadh Mandir
is in construction, so please let it be a great success, and
get finished in time. Keep me in your divine seva and in your
heart, because I am nothing without you. You are my mom, dad,
brother, sister, teacher, guru, best friend, ect- you are my
everything. Last, but not least, "Bhagwaan Sau nu Bhalu
Karo". May this new year be prosperous for satsangis world
wide, and may their goals be fulfilled as well. Jai Swaminarayan!
