Dear Members We have started another year with new committee, who have very high hopes and aspiration to provide you all with a fun filled year of events. Sadly, their desire to organise events, is however quickly dashed due to non-support from the community. Our organisation in the early days flourished as a result of the whole hearted support and backing received from the community members. I have to commend these individuals who join the working committee, for having the optimism and desire to maintain the momentum.However as experienced in the previous years, these members have sad faces as time progresses, due to lacklustre support and attendance, and for some not to stay on the working committee the following year. Apologies for my pessimism, if we as a samaj do not wake up and revive Bardai Brahmin Samaj London, the outlook is very bleak, therefore my request to you all, is provide your support and make 2019 a year to remember when this dying samaj was brought back to life by your support. Best wishes Jai Shri Krishna! Jai Shri Trikamjibapu! Bhasker Dave

History & Meaning

Diwali is perhaps the most well-known of the Hindu festivals.

The word Diwali means 'rows of lighted lamps' and is celebrated for 5 days according to the lunar Hindu Calendar. It begins in late Ashwin (September–October) and ends in early Kartika (October–November). The first day is Dhan Teras. The last day is Yama Dvitiya, which signifies the second day of the light half of Kartika.

The festival celebrates the victory of good over evil, light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance, although the actual legends that go with the festival are different in different parts of India:

In northern India and elsewhere, Diwali celebrates Lord Shri Rama's return from fourteen years of exile to Ayodhya after the defeat of Ravana and his subsequent coronation as king;
In Gujarat, the festival honours Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth;
In Nepal Diwali commemorates the victory of Lord Krishna over the demon king Narakaasura;
In Bengal, it is associated with the Goddess Maa Kali.

In India Hindus will leave the windows and doors of their houses open so that Lakshmi can come in. Rangoli are drawn on the floors - rangoli are patterns and the most popular subject is the lotus flower.
