wish you a happy deepavali

न तत्र सूर्यो भाति न चन्द्रतारकं 

नैवा विध्युतो भान्ति कुतोऽयमग्निः।

तमेव भान्तं अनुभान्ति सर्वं

तस्य भासा सर्वमिदं विभाति॥
कठोपनिषद्

na tatra sūryo bhāti na candratārakaṁ 

... naivā vidhyuto bhānti kuto'yamagniḥ|

tameva bhāntaṁ anubhānti sarvaṁ

tasya bhāsā sarvamidaṁ vibhāti||
katopanishad 

the sun does not shine there, 

nor the moon or the stars, 

no thunderbolts can spark or roar there

 and fire has not power there, 

but there stands the One Supreme Being..

and He is shining for spontaneously

and all things reflect that lustre... 

may that shining Almighty (Krishna) brighten our lives.

Wish you all a happy Deepavali.
