Lucknow,

20 Oct (HS): On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, Bishop Morris Edgar Dan of

the Church of North India (CNI), Lucknow extended heartfelt greetings to all

citizens of the country. He said that Diwali is not merely a festival of

lighting lamps, but a symbol of dispelling the darkness within us and spreading

the light of truth, love, and compassion.

In

his message, Bishop Dan said, “Diwali teaches us that when we light the lamps

of goodwill and empathy toward one another, darkness in society naturally

disappears. This day inspires us to fill not only our homes but also our hearts

with light — so that the glow of hope, peace, and joy may reach every life.” Bishop

Morris Edgar Dan further added that the festival of lights inspires us to

pledge ourselves toward building a society where the lamps of love, justice,

and equality forever shine bright. “May this Diwali bring new enthusiasm,

happiness, prosperity, and countless blessings into your lives,” he said. Bishop

Dan also appealed to all citizens to celebrate a safe and environmentally

friendly Diwali.
