Diwali Has Many Origins, But One Central Theme - Yes Magazine

"Perhaps these diverse origin stories of Diwali point to a shared argument that Indian culture is making about the world: that good—whether as one of the many avatars of Lord Vishnu, an enlightened Jain prince, or an imprisoned guru—will necessarily triumph over the evils of demons, injustice, and ignorance.

Certainly that’s an argument worth celebrating, especially in the chaotic times we live in today."
