FROM MADAME DEOLATCHMEE RAMOTAR, FIRST LADY OF GUYANAIt is with extreme happiness that I extend Diwali greetings to all Guyanese but more especially to the Hindu community for whom this festival is a joyous occasion. Diwali signifies the victory of good over evil; of life over death and light over darkness.I trust that these universal messages would touch every heart in our nation and that the torch of enlightenment would brighten those dark crevices, such as ignorance and greed which may exist within our midst.Diwali is not just about celebration. There is a personal element that requires all of us to bring light to those areas of our lives and of the lives of those in society which are in darkness; to eradicate greed and ignorance, to reject violence and hatred and to banish ill-thoughts and needs. It is a time for festivity but also a call for personal and community action to bring brightness into the lives of others.May the modesty of the simple ‘diya’ that is lit at this time remind us all that no matter how limited our means are we can all contribute to making our country and our world a much brighter place by generously illuminating the lives of others through doing good and through being good.May our own personal example come to signify the conquest of good over evil.A happy Diwali to all!*****FROM THE PEOPLE’S NATIONAL CONGRESS REFORMThe People’s National Congress Reform extends friendly greetings to all of the Guyanese people, but particularly to the members of our Hindu Community on Deepavali.Our Party recognizes that Deepavali – the Festival of Lights – should enliven all; young and old, men and women, rich and poor; in towns and communities throughout Guyana. It should be a unifying and integrating force which encourages goodwill, joy and friendship that bring all the people of Guyana together.In the religious context, the Goddess Maha Lakshmi – the Goddess of Light – is worshipped for wealth and spiritual enlightenment.This year we are forced to revisit many of the themes from previous years? because the PPP/C Administration has accelerated its confrontational approach towards the National Assembly while continuing to violate the fundamental tenets of our parliamentary democracy, particularly their refusal to govern in accordance with the rule of law and to recognize the law-making and oversight role of the National Assembly vis-?-vis the executive branch, the people of Guyana are seeing the light disappearing while a gathering storm looms on the horizon. The symbolism of the triumph of light over darkness now carries a powerful message for the Guyanese nation.In the circumstances, the PNCR invokes the blessings of Mother Lakshmi to end this darkness so that our dear land can once again experience peace,Curry 1 Shoes For Sale, prosperity, good governance, equity, security, a culture of civility, and good order.A HAPPY AND JOYOUS DEEPAVALI TO ALL GUYANESE!*****FROM THE ALLIANCE FOR CHANGEAs we prepare to celebrate Diwali,Asics Dynaflyte 2 Comprar, the Festival of Lights, the Alliance For Change sends special Diwali greetings to our Hindu brothers and sisters and to all Guyanese.The Festival of Diwali or the Festival of Lights, as it is also known, is of special religious significance to Hindus as it marks the return of Lord Rama after 14 years of exile. To welcome his return and to light his path, ‘diyas’ were lit.This year, as we light diyas and admire the light that shine brightly from such little lamps, symbolising the triumph of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance, let us all commit that our lives will be as lights shining forth to unmask evil, lawlessness and corruption.Diwali is a celebration of life itself and that the lights and diyas represent hope for all humankind regardless of faith or ethnicity. Let us be the light we want to see in others and let our little light fill the world around us. Let us be the example that good will always triumph over evil.Happy Diwali to all Guyanese.****FROM THE GUYANA AGRICULTURAL AND GENERAL WORKERS UNION (GAWU)Light Up Minds, Lighten Burdens.?
