Diwali Customs & Traditions
I
t’s not only for the enthusiasm and exuberance that Diwali is known for, but also for prayers, pujas and ritual baths. Diwali, the vibrant festival observed all over India with utmost devotion and joy, celebrates the victory of good over evil and knowledge over darkness. There are many legends associated with this festival but, the most common legends are the return of Rama to Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile and the victory of Krishna over Narakasura. In eastern India, the festival is celebrated to honour the victory of goddess kali over Bakasura. Extending over five days, the main highlight of Diwali is its customs and traditions that include worshipping cattle, Lakshmi puja, lighting lamps, exchanging gifts, bursting crackers and decorating the house with rangoli. Traditions Of Diwali Lakshmi Puja On the auspicious day of Diwali, prayers are offered to Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, who is believed to visit all households and shower her blessings on devotees. A Puja dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi is

performed on the Diwali evening in all households. Lighting Diyas Or Lamps Lighting diyas or oil/ghee lamps is an important tradition. Once the Lakshmi
puja is over, people decorate their home with lighted lamps. Lighting lamps symbolise getting rid of darkness from the world. It is believed that people of Ayodhya decorated the whole town with diyas or lamps to celebrate Lord Rama’s return after fourteen years of exile and this marks the beginning of this tradition. People also believe that as Diwali falls on a no-moon night, lamps help Goddess Lakshmi to reach their households. Hence, people leave the diyas to burn all through the night. cont’d on page D10

Diwali, known as “the festival of lights” is celebrated with grandeur all over India. However, there are regional differences in the celebrations and rituals. In north India, this festival arrives at Dussehra, which usually falls between mid-October and mid-December. Families come together to take part in the traditional rituals at their homes. Lighting diyas, performing pujs, and burning crackers form a core part of Diwali celebrations. North Indians celebrate Diwali as a five-day long festival which

begins with Dhanteras and extends up to Bhai Dooj”. Lakshmi puja is an important event. The rituals in North India are slightly different from the ones in South India, where it is observed as four-day festival. Diwali in North India venerates the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya, after an exile of fourteen long years, which also includes his victory over Ravana. Therefore, Diwali represents the conquest of good over evil and light over darkness. Read through the article

Goddess Lakhsmi, whose blessings are believed to bring wealth, prosperity and peace in the families. The festival starts with “Dhanteras”, which is two days before the actual Diwali. On this day, people purchase gold, silver or copper utensils as it is considered auspicious. The day after this is “chhoti Diwali”, which is followed by Diwali. Houses, industries, shops, temples and even most parts of the streets are usually decorated by lamps. The Hindi financial year starts with Diwali and hence, this day is auspicious for traders and business men. The afternoons are spent in decorating the houses and the evenings are marked by pujas dedicated to Goddess Lakhsmi, with Lord Ganesha alongside. The exchange of gifts and sweets takes place between relatives, neighbors and friends and together they burst crackers. In most of the north Indian states, “ram lilas” (dramatic interpretation of the story of Lord Rama) are held on street corners.
In North India, special pujas dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi are performed as an important tradition. The houses of the people are cleaned and decorated with candles, clay lamps, flowers and rangolis. All of these are done to invite

to have a clear understanding of the Diwali traditions followed in north India. Mythology In the northern part of India, Diwali is related with Lord Rama and his triumph over Ravana. It is said that when Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya, the people decorated the entire village with lamps and also burst crackers to welcome Lord Rama. The legend begins with Lord Rama being sent to exile for fourteen years, during which the evil Ravana abducts his wife, the chaste Sita. Lord Rama, along with his brother Laxman and beloved devotee Lord Hanuman, fought the legendary battle against Ravana and rescued Sita. Following this, Lord Ram heads back to Ayodhya, where he received a grant welcome. Since then, the festival is infallibly observed.

Diwali - the Festival that Binds India Together
Diwali, also referred to as Deepavali or Dipavali, is probably the biggest festival ever in Hinduism and is even celebrated by other religions such as Jainism and Sikhism. An official holiday in India, the Diwali symbolizes the victory of good over evil. According to the Hindu almanac, Diwali is a five-day festival, which commences on the new moon day, which ends in the month of Ashwin, or the beginning of the Kartika month. This means that it begins on the 13th day of the dark half of Ashwin and ends on the 2nd day of the bright half of Kartika. The main day of Diwali differs as per the region the person comes from. Symbolism of Diwali During Diwali, cotton wicks are placed in diyas (or little lamps), filled with oil and lighted. This signifies the individual seeker try-
ing to triumph over the evil forces residing within himself, by lighting the lamp of true knowledge inside his spiritual being.

In the at the Gwalior Fort by Jahangir. spiritual sense, this festival urges After attaining freedom, Guru Har the seeker to become aware of and Gobind visited Darbar Sahib or the develop the inner light. The whole Golden Temple, in the city of Amidea behind lighting the diyas is to ritsar. The overwhelmed residents find that inner effulgence which lies joyfully welcomed him by lighting inside every living being. diyas and candles to greet the Guru visiting their city. This is why the People celebrate Diwali through Sikhs also refer to Diwali as Bandi lighting diyas, fireworks, flowers, Chhorh Divas, or “the day of the sharing sweets and offering Puja (prayers). While the rituals differ release of the detainees”. from region to region, the main Diwali, being the Festival of Lights, aim of the festival is the same – to Hindus all over India celebrate it rejoice the luminous Atman or the Brahman within. Diwali for Sikhs For Sikhs, the relevance of Diwali comes from the fact that they attained freedom on this day. The ruling Muslim king at the time had held Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism in his custody. The Guru undertook a fast and refused to eat even a morsel of the food brought to him. The king then realized that a huge crowd had gathered around the palace, holding candles, torches and lanterns in their hands, protesting against their Guru’s seize and demanding his immediate release. The king eventually relented and let Guru Nanak free. The Sikhs celebrate this day as Diwali. Bandi Chhorh Divas Diwali is also very important to Sikhs because it is the day when Guru Har Gobind Ji had been released from prison. Hence, this is called the Bandi Chhorh Divas. The Guru was responsible for the release of 52 other princes as well,
PAGE D18
from their detention at the Gwalior Fort in 1619. Jahangir had detained Guru Har Gobind Ji, as he was intimidated by the Guru’s power and influence over the general public. When the Guru asked for the release of the other princes along with him, Emperor Jahangir agreed, on the condition that only those who could hold onto his (Guru Har Gobind Ji’s) cloak would be able to leave the prison. The Emperor was hoping to thus limit the amount of people who would leave prison. But the Guru outsmarted Jahangir, by creating a very large cloak with 52 tassels attached to it. Each of the princes held onto one tassel and that way, they all got out of the dungeon. The Sikhs present then, celebrated the return of Guru Har Gobind Ji by lighting the entire Golden Temple. They follow the tradition to this very day. Bhai Mani Singh Ji becomes a martyr GOLDEN AMRITSAR

Yet another important event that links Diwali to Sikhs is that the highly respected Sikh strategic and scholar, Bhai Mani Singh, became a martyr on this day in 1737. Bhai Mani Singh was the Granthi (reader/keeper of Sikh scripture) at the Harmandir Sahib or the Golden Temple at Amritsar. Bhai Mani Singh had transcribed the penultimate version of the Guru Granth Sahib, which Guru Gobind Singh Ji had dictated to him in 1704. He took over the management of Harmandir Sahib in 1708. Bhai Mani Singh had refused to pay jizya, or tax imposed by the Mughal Empire on non-Muslims. At a religious meeting of the Khalsa, he officially refused to pay up the amount, due to which he was killed, on Diwali day. This and other cont’d on page 38

Punjabi Patrika cont’d from page 18 similar incident sent shock waves through the entire Sikh community, which in turn, gave further momentum to the Khalsa struggle for freedom. Eventually, the Khalsa rule was established in the north of Delhi (the present Dilli).
In the year 1737, the Mughal governor of Punjab, Zakariya Khan, had given Bhai Mani Singh the permission to hold a religious meeting on Diwali, for a tax of Rs.10,000. All Sikhs had been invited to attend the celebrations to commemorate Bandi Chhorh Divas at the Harmandir Sahib. Though Bhai Mani Singh initially intended to collect the tax from all the Sikhs assembled there, he happened to discover that Khan secretly planned to kill all of them who came to the Harmandir Sahib that day. He immediately warned all the Sikhs not to come to attend the event. When Singh could not pay up the tax, Khan ordered his execution at Lahore. Bhai Mani Singh was ruthlessly cut to death, limb by painful limb. Ever since that incident, the Sikhs also gather to commemorate Bhai Mani Singh Ji’s devotion and sacrifice on the day of the Bandi Chhorh Diwas or Diwali. The Sikhs’ uprising against the Mughal rule The Khalsa was officially established by the Tenth Guru Gobind Singh in 1699. The Sikhs’ struggle against the Mughal rule intensified in the 18th Century and peaked around this day. Banda Bahadur had let the uprising in Punjab. This led to his execution in 1716. The Sikhs then started holding meetings to discuss matters concerning the community at biennial meetings at Amritsar. These were regularly held on the first day of Baisakh and at Diwali as well. These get-togethers were called Sarbat Khalsa and the joint resolution passed by this unit became the Gurmata (Guru’s decree). That is how Diwali became the

next important festival to the Sikhs, after the Baisakhi.
Melas An integral part of Diwali festivities is the Mela or a colourful fair. This happens in villages as well as in the towns of India. This is a place where farmers get together to sell their produce. Artisans also exhibit and sell their works of art. Girls and women dress up in all their finery, draw elaborate mehndi (henna) designs on their hands and feet and shop at these fairs. The main attractions at any fair are the puppet shows, acrobats, snake charmers, jugglers and fortune tellers. Food stalls do brisk business too. People can also avail a number of rides, such as Ferris wheels, animal rides and so on. The Melas, being tremendously fun-filled events, are a great source of joy to all, especially the young ones in the family.
Diwali internationally
So major a festival is Diwali, that it is celebrated in many other parts of the world too, such as Nepal, Canada, Guyana, Mauritius, Kenya, Japan, Fiji, the Netherlands, the UK, the US, the UAE, Australia, Africa, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia and many others. Today’s world is a global world, so one can find Indians in any corner of the earth. Along with this migration comes exchange of traditions and customs among everyone. This is how Diwali has now come about to become a veritable global festival. While in some countries, one can find only colonies of Indian expatriates celebrating Diwali, other nations have adopted and absorbed this festival into the fabric of their own culture. Such countries celebrate the Festival of Lights along similar lines as those in India, with a few minor variations. This article was written by: Priya Viswanathan

Expanding India attracts interest By Alyssa O’Dell In 2006 Jas Binning exported $25,000 worth of softwood lumber to India with the hopes that the move would compensate for a slowing North American market. “I started with small volume,” said the owner of Abbotsford’s Jazz Forest Products. “Now (we’re) shipping close to a halfmillion dollars every month.” With its huge, increasing population and growing economy, India has been identified by both the provincial and federal governments as a priority market for export growth. While many B.C. exporters agree, experts say distance, economic uncertainty and heavy government regulation mean it is still no easy task to break into the market the world’s tenth largest by GDP. Export opportunities In 2012, India was ranked as the 11th-highest destination for B.C. origin exports. Nationwide merchandise exports to the country rose 27.7 per cent - to $2.6 billion - in 2011, according to Statistics Canada. Commodities, specifically coal and copper, dominate B.C. exports to India. Coal ranks No. 1, with the province shipping $160 million worth of coal products in 2012 - 50 per cent of total exports by value. Copper ranked second ($83 million in 2012). But Trade and Invest B.C. has highlighted significant opportunities for local exporters in forestry, mining, international education, clean technology, liquefied natural gas and agrifoods. Binning is still actively pursuing growth in the market, and said he’s already seeing more lumber suppliers from Western markets like the U.S. and New Zealand turn their eyes to India to service the country’s need for wood to replace dwindling tropical hardwood sources. He said most of his product is destined for end use in housing and furniture construction. HSBC Holdings Plc predicts a slowing in economic growth to four per cent in the 12 months ending March 2014 - the weakest pace India has seen in more than a decade. But Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan said growth could reach “double digits” once the country finishes tackling the difficult problems of poor infrastructure, inadequate human capital and over-regulation. The former IMF chief economist cites stronger exports, improved agricultural production and a growth rate he expects to accelerate from last quarter’s cooling as reasons for optimism. Keith Head, a professor at the University of B.C.’s Sauder School of Business, says the B.C.-India trade relationship has been
a good news, bad news story for the province so far. “India is only one per cent of B.C.’s exports, and less than that for Canada,” Head said. “It’s not one of the big players in our export market at this point. The good news is that a decade ago it was less than half a per cent. So the trend is there, we’re just starting from a very low base.” According to Head, who holds an HSBC professorship in Asian commerce, India’s large population relative to available resources needed for development makes the two countries “natural trading partners.” He says he expects resources to continue being B.C.’s main export to the country. Distance dictates trade His research has shown that even in a globalized world, distance between markets is still a large limiting factor for specialty products, and may hinder the success of well-known B.C. exports like wine or fresh fruit. “In goods it seems that distance matters as much as ever,” Head said. “Distance just doesn’t want to go away.” For Coast Forest Products Association CEO Rick Jeffery, this factor has been key in targeting India for higher-grade softwood lumber exports as demand for better housing and furniture increases along with the middle class. “For B.C., India is exactly halfway around the world,” said Jeffery, “so if we’re going to be shipping product into India, that kind of distance, it’s going to have to be products in the higher-value range.” Although Jeffery said large volumes of lumber haven’t left for India yet, the industry is working closely with the provincial and federal governments to identify market opportunities and how to approach them. “India today reminds me of China 12 years ago. We knew there was something there, we weren’t quite sure what it was, and so we needed to do the work to find out what that (was),” Jeffery said. “Twelve years ago we weren’t selling anything to China, today it’s our second biggest market.” Exporters looking to do business in India face an onerous regulatory environment. In a bid to ease trade barriers, an eighth round of negotiations on a comprehensive economic partnership between Canada and India took place over the summer. Navigating the market “India is not an easy market,” said Karim Kassam, vice-president of business and corporate development for Burnabybased Ballard Power Systems. “It’s not for the faint of heart, for sure, in terms of the regulatory cont’d on page D47

Statement by Liberal Party of Canada Leader Justin Trudeau on Diwali The Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, Justin Trudeau, made the following statement today on Diwali: “Sophie and I would like to extend our best wishes to all those who celebrate Diwali, both here in Canada and around the world. I have had the pleasure of celebrating Diwali with many Canadians, both in my riding of Papineau and in communities across Canada. I always marvel at the diyas lighting up the mandir and gurdwara, and I have enjoyed eating the delicious mithai served to me in many households. Today, some of the world’s great faiths will join together to celebrate this auspicious holiday, known to many as the festival of lights. This occasion is not only about marking the triumph of good over evil, but the power of light and higher knowledge to dispel ignorance. During this holiday, Canadians are also reminded of the importance of maintaining our shared values of inclusion, compassion, and hope for a better future. On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada and our Parliamentary Caucus, I wish you and your loved ones a very happy Diwali.” PAGE D46

environment.” Ballard is deploying its fuelcell technology within Idea Cellular’s India network. The fuel cells run off liquid methanol and are supporting the country’s move to reduce reliance on diesel generators to power telecom base-station towers. India is a uniquely cost-sensitive market, with pressure to be competitive on price coming from its massive population, according to Kassam. B.C. is a leader in clean technology, he pointed out. So despite the work required to enter the market - tackling over-regulation, high duties and a foreign investment environment - the province stands to gain from India’s need to address sustainability within its large population. “If you can crack the market, and if you can be competitive and do a good job, there’s tremendous opportunity,” Kassam told The Vancouver Sun from India. “There is a business need and we have a business solution.” Kassam said having good relationships with local partners is one of the keys to navigating the Indian market. Every new market presents challenges, and India is no exception, according to Head.

“Less developed countries present a whole bunch of extra challenges if you don’t have some kind of insider knowledge,” said the business professor. One such challenge is corruption. According to data from Transparency International, India ranks 94th out of 176 countries in perceived corruption of the public sector. “That certainly adds to the difficulty of doing business there,” said Head, explaining that foreigners often miss signals, bargain poorly or are frozen by ethical restraint when encountering corruption. Although Head cites a high correlation between low per capita income and corruption - more than twothirds of the country’s 1.2 billion citizens live on less than $2 U.S. a day - he said many nations have escaped this cycle. He expects India to do so gradually as well.
ness colleague Dr. John Ries, found that a 10 per cent increase in immigrants is associated with a one per cent in increase in Canadian exports to the immigrant’s home country, alongside a three per cent increase in imports.
“As we know, Vancouver and Surrey have high Indian immigrant populations, so my research would seem to suggest that really could create inroads that some other countries might lack,” Head said.
