  3. A little murmur this morning about how Halloween will fall on GAME 6 of the World Series with the Blue Jays vs Dodgers interrupting trick-or-treating for some.

    I think a lot of people forgot that last year, Halloween fell on the first (or 2nd) day of Diwali. We had kids running house-to-house in costumes getting candy, relatives wearing their finest Indian celebration clothes visiting and offering blessings, we even had fireworks at night!

    4.1% of Ontario's popuation, (500,000+ people) are Hindu and celebrate Diwali. So it's not the first time Halloween falls on a special day. Maybe some people need to get out and start recognizing other cultures exist eh?

    zen breath

    the last of the sun
    a play of colours and overtones
    over the moors
    in the cold air of the evening
    the bamboo feels raw
    a reflection on
    light and darkness
    the cycle of life

    happy diwali
    happy new moon

  17. How #MaaKali Became a Powerful Symbol of Courage and #Resistance in Bengal Against British #Colonial Rule

    Worshipped as a fierce mother, Maa Kali inspired devotion and fearlessness. Her image became a rallying symbol, shaping courage and resistance in Bengal during the struggle against British colonial rule.

    Namya Sinha
    Updated Oct 18, 2025

    Excerpt: "On Diwali, while most Hindus worship the goddess Lakshmi, Bengalis dedicate the day to the worship of Goddess Kali. In Bengal, she symbolises courage and the destruction of evil, her presence woven deeply into the region’s social and political consciousness.

    "During the early 20th century, Bengal was gripped by revolutionary nationalism following the Swadeshi Movement. At this moment, Kali took on new prominence. Devotees saw in her a maternal protector who nurtured her children even as she embodied the cosmic balance between creation and destruction.

    [...]

    "The image of Goddess Kali as the 'Mother' became a powerful symbol of the nation, a divine embodiment of Mother India who rose fight oppression. Revolutionaries worshipped her as the mother of the land, poised to annihilate the colonial demons."

  23. #Kali Puja on #Diwali Night: The #DivineFeminine Energy Explained

    Excerpt: "On the darkest night of Diwali, as Bengal lights lamps before the fierce mother Kali, a profound spiritual truth manifests: true illumination comes not from avoiding darkness but from diving deep into it with courage and devotion. Kali stands as a reminder that the divine feminine energy—Shakti—is not passive or merely nurturing but actively transformative, sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce, but always working toward the liberation of her children.

    The tradition of Kali Puja on Diwali night represents more than regional preference; it embodies a complete spiritual philosophy that recognizes the necessity of destruction for creation, darkness for light, and ego-death for liberation. As we honor Ma Kali on this sacred Amavasya, we invite her transformative energy to burn away our ignorance, cut through our illusions, and guide us toward the ultimate truth of our eternal, infinite nature."
