GNIMITES e-Newsletter

November – 2013

Wish You a Very Happy Diwali To Hindus, darkness represents ignorance, and light is a metaphor for knowledge. Therefore, lighting a lamp symbolizes the destruction, through knowledge, of all negative forces- wickedness, violence, lust, anger, envy, greed, bigotry, fear, injustice, oppression and suffering, etc. Diwali is the festival of lights. We are bringing out our first e-newsletter on the occasion of Diwali. Best wishes for Diwali from all of us.

Big Thanks to all those who have given their co-operation in the successful completion of

one year of the Monthly Newsletter. Our first issue was on November 2012.
