May you have the most
wonderful Diwali
ever

During this season of giving ...
please remember Hinduism Today



Have you noticed that the mudra of giving and that of receiving is the same?

Whenever we give, we are opening a certain door within us—the very same door we open when we receive. The generous person who opens often that door is more likely to have abundance come pay him a visit, and keep on a-calling. It'll start coming unannounced, and even sneak in unnoticed, sometimes.

Whatever you give this season, to whomever you give it, please keep in mind what a mystical, divine power for good giving is—for you, the giver, for you, the recipient, and for all the beautiful souls out there who give and receive. Could anything be more wonderful?

Have a sweet, enlightening 2017-2018 holiday season!
