On Deepavali day all Hindus light a lamp to dispel darkness. The greatest darkness in life is
ignorance. This is overcome by acquiring knowledge, acting on violations of human rights, and
upholding the truth. To keep the lamp of knowledge burning bright, donate every year on Deepavali
day any reasonable amount within your means. Make this a rule of your life and claim the right to
recite the following mantra with justification: “Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya”; – “O God! Lead us from
darkness unto light”
