               Jay Swaminarayan and Jay Shri Krishna.
               As we approach the auspicious festival of Diwali, we would like to offer our heartfelt
               prayers and best wishes to our dear friends at the Lohana community in North London,
               and across communities in the UK.
               Diwali is one of the most vibrant and meaningful festivals of the year for millions of Hindus
               around the world. The dispelling of darkness with light symbolises the triumph of good
               over evil. As the world emerges from the coronavirus pandemic, as well as other
               adversities, Diwali’s universal and enlightening messages of faith, hope, goodness and
               community are a source of hope and inspiration.
               May the New Year bring peace and prosperity, may the divine light of Bhagwan
               Swaminarayan, Shri Radha-Krishna, Shri-Sita Rama, Shri Shiva-Parvati, His Holiness
               Pramukh Swami Maharaj, and all our revered deities and sages bring happiness and
               fulfilment. May everyone in your community and beyond be enlightened.

               With our innermost prayers and best wishes,
