LS Speaker greets people on the eve of Deepawali

NEW DELHI, Oct 19: On the eve of Deepawali, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla today greeted the people of the nation.

In his message Birla said, “Heartiest greetings to all on the grand festival of lights, Deepawali. I also extend my best wishes for the upcoming festivals of Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj”, an official statement said.

Calling the festival of Deepawali the soul of India’s culture and traditions, Birla said, “It is not just an occasion to light lamps and celebrate, but also a message of the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair”.

He said,”Lord Shri Ram, by following the path of values, righteousness, and dharma, set ideals that inspire us to uphold truth, duty, and goodwill in our own lives. Diwali is not only a time to celebrate joy but also to share it with others. We should strive to spread light in the lives of those around us”.

He urged all to take a pledge on this sacred festival to strengthen unity, brotherhood, mutual trust, and equality in the society.

“May our farmers and workers be empowered, our business community prosper, our youth be energetic and self-reliant, and our nation continue to move forward on the path of development,” the Speaker said.

He further said, “May Goddess Lakshmi fill your lives with happiness and prosperity, may Goddess Saraswati bless you with knowledge and wisdom, and may Lord Ganesha remove all obstacles and pave the way for well-being. Wishing you all a very Happy Deepawali. Jai Siyaram.”
