The story of Diwali is known by every child in India as it is
celebrated in almost every home. There are several legends about the
origin of Diwali. One goes back to the Hindu Epic of the Ramayana.
Over a thousand years ago, there was a kind, humble and much beloved
Prince named Rama who was soon to be named King. Instead, his jealous
stepmother found a way to have Rama banished to the forest for 14
years. His wife, Sita, and brother, Lakshman, went with him because
they did not want to leave his side. One day, a demon king named
Ravana saw Sita and fell in love with her beauty. He hatched a plan
and eventually kidnapped her. Rama went in pursuit of Ravana and
fought a great war to win his beloved Sita back. After their reunion
and completing their 14 year exile, Rama, Sita and Lakshman returned
home to Ayodhya where the people rejoiced and lit lamps all over the
kingdom to welcome them back. Shortly after, Rama was crowned King of
Ayodhya.
Sikhs also recognize Diwali to celebrate the release of the Sixth
Guru, Hargobind, one of their spiritual leaders, from captivity by
the Mughal Emperor Jehangir. In his honor, lamps were lit all the way
to the Golden Temple, welcoming his return. For Jains, Diwali is the
day Lord Mahavira, the last of the Jain Tirthankaras (Ford-maker or
Savior), achieved enlightenment or nirvana/moksha. Lastly, Buddhists,
especially Newar Buddhists, commemorate Diwali as Ashok
Vijayadashami, the day the great Emperor Ashoka embraced Buddhism as
his faith.
As per Hindu tradition, Diwali is celebrated with grand splendor,
welcoming the new year. It is on Diwali that…
..sweet and savory snacks are prepared throughout the day.
..every home is lit with diyas, leaving no room for darkness to
enter.
..every doorstep is decorated with rangoli to welcome guests with
great honor.
..one fashions new clothing to thank Goddess Lakshmi for providing
prosperity and good fortune.
..when the sun sets, firecrackers light up the streets. It is on
Diwali that every face is adorned with a smile. Creating a festive
atmosphere…
o Introduce yourself and say good bye with "Namaste." Explain that
"namaste" is a traditional Hindu greeting that translates to "The
Divine in me, bows to the Divine in you." It is based on the belief
that each one of us is a part of God or the Divine. Materials
required: HAF-provided PowerPoint presentation.
With the start of a new year, Diwali also reminds one to give back to
the community…
o If possible, donate or display arts and crafts at a local charity
(i.e. library, hospital, nursing homes, etc.)
o Have kids make Diwali greeting cards to be sent to an orphanage.
o Help your child hold a classroom penny drive starting on the first
day of Diwali and donate proceeds to the school’s Parent Teacher
Association or Organization (PTA/PTO).
o Hold a food drive and donate goods to a local food bank. Fashion
tradition…
o Dress in Indian clothes and encourage the classroom teacher to do
the same.
o Take traditional Indian clothing for a demo. Pick two kids, a boy
and a girl, and ask them to come to the front of the class. Drape the
girl in a sari and the boy, in a kurta and dhoti to model the clothes
of India.
o Bring bindis or bangles for all the girls and tilaks for the boys.

US Sikh group seeks Kamal Nath’s prosecution in Belgium
IANS
The Pioneer
http://www.dailypioneer.com
Friday, October 7, 2011
A US based Sikh human rights group has sought criminal prosecution of
Indian Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath during his upcoming
visit to Belgium for his alleged role in the November 1984 anti-Sikh
riots in Delhi.
Taking advantage of Kamal Nath’s upcoming visit to Belgium to address
the 5th EuroIndia Summit in Leuven next Thursday, Sikhs for Justice
(SFJ) has approached the Belgian government to initiate his criminal
prosecution, the group’s attorney Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
Belgian law provides for "extra territorial jurisdiction" to
criminally prosecute individuals for crimes against humanity and
genocide committed outside Belgium, he said. It also does not provide
immunity to any heads of states or other dignitaries.
Under this law, criminal prosecution was initiated against former
Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon, for his role in the 1982 Sabra-
Shatila massacre in Lebanon, Pannun said.
In a letter to Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme, SFJ urged him to
bar Nath’s entry into Belgium saying "Nath’s entry will become a
black spot on Belgium’s impeccable record of commitment to human
rights."
SFJ also plans to hold a protest rally in Leuven Oct 13.
In April, SFJ had initiated civil proceedings against Kamal Nath in a
US Federal Court in New York which issued summons to him.

How Yog Won the West
By Ann Louise Bardach
The New York Times
Published on October 1, 2011
Ann Louise Bardach is a writer at large for Newsweek. She is working
on a biography of Vivekananda.
The party planning is in full swing throughout
India
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritor…
Never mind that the big day, Jan. 12, 2013, commemorating the 150th
anniversary of the birth of Vivekananda, is more than 15 months away.
Not too long ago, Vivekananda, a household name in his homeland, was
famous here as well, as the first missionary from the East to the
West.
If you’re annoyed that your local gas station is now a yog
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/y/yog/in…
studio, you might blame Vivekananda for having introduced "yog" into
the national conversation — though an exercise cult with expensive
accessories was hardly what he had in mind.
The Indian monk, born Narendranath Datta to an aristocratic Calcutta
family, alighted in Chicago in 1893 in ochre robes and turban, with
little money after a daunting two-month trek from Bombay.
Notwithstanding the fact that he had spent the previous night
sleeping in a boxcar, the young mystic made an electrifying
appearance at the opening of the august Parliament of Religions that
Sept. 11.
Vivekananda in Chicago, 1893. Vedanta Society of Southern California
For most of the rest of the month, Vivekananda held the conference’s
4,000 attendees spellbound in a series of showstopping improvised
talks. He had simplified Vedanta thought to a few teachings that were
accessible and irresistible to Westerners, foremost being that "all
souls are potentially divine." His prescription for life was simple,
and perfectly American: "work and worship." By the end of his last
Chicago lecture on Sept. 27, Vivekananda was a star. And like the
enterprising Americans he so admired, he went on the road to pitch
his message — dazzling some of the great minds of his time.
Yet precious few of the estimated 16 million supple, spandex-clad
yoginis in the United States, who sustain an annual $6 billion
industry, seem to have a clue that they owe their yog mats to
Vivekananda. Enriching this irony was Vivekananda’s utter lack of
interest in physical exertions beyond marathon sitting meditations
and pilgrimages to holy sites.
"You are not your body," he often reminded Americans, who tend to
prefer "doing" over "being." More distressing, for some, was his
other message: "You are not your mind."
Yog to the man who most famously delivered its message to America
meant just one thing: "realizing God." He abhorred channeling,
s ances and past-life hunts as diversionary. Worse, the great seer
savored a good smoke, and on occasion chowed down on meat.
Lacking a fig leaf of false modesty, he informed one Brooklyn
audience, "I have a message to the West as Buddha had a message to
the East."
Among those who never doubted the messenger during his lifetime was
Leo Tolstoy. The restless Russian was especially keen for writings on
Ramakrishna, Vivekananda’s own guru. Two years before his death,
Tolstoy wrote, "Since 6 in the morning I have been thinking of
Vivekananda," and later, "It is doubtful if in this age man has ever
risen above this selfless, spiritual meditation."
The Harvard philosopher and psychologist William James was fascinated
by the 31-year-old Indian and quoted at length from Vivekananda’s
writings in his seminal work, "The Varieties of Religious
Experience."
"A very nice man! A very nice man!" Vivekananda reported after his
first meeting with James, who called his new friend "an honor to
humanity."
The novelist Gertrude Stein, then a student of James’s at Radcliffe,
reportedly attended Vivekananda’s 1896 talk at Harvard — which so
wowed the college’s graybeards that they offered him the chairmanship
of Eastern philosophy. He declined, noting his vows as a monk.
A later convert to the mystic’s writings was Aldous Huxley, who wrote
the foreword to the 1942 English-language edition of "The Gospel of
Sri Ramakrishna," which he described as "the most profound and subtle
utterances about the nature of Ultimate Reality." Along with his
friend Christopher Isherwood, Huxley was formally initiated at the
Vedanta Center in the Hollywood Hills, where the two sometimes gave
the Sunday lecture, often attended by their friends Igor Stravinsky,
Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, Somerset Maugham and Greta Garbo.
In 1945, Henry Miller, famous for his sex-drizzled novels, reported
that his most important discovery of recent years was "two volumes on
Ramakrishna and Vivekananda." By 1962, Miller concluded that "Swami
Vivekananda remains for me one of the great influences in my life."
J. D. Salinger’s commitment went deeper and he would leave Vedantic
footprints in his work, often via his frontman, Seymour Glass. In his
last published work, "Hapworth 16, 1924," Salinger has Seymour
hawking the wisdom of Vivekananda with the avidity of a pitchman on
the Shopping Channel, calling him "one of the most exciting,
original, and best equipped giants of this century I have ever run
into; my personal sympathy for him will never be outgrown or
exhausted as long as I live, mark my words; I would easily give 10
years of my life, possibly more, if I could have shaken his hand."
The waning of Vivekananda’s popularity in America began around the
time the baby boomers commandeered the yog business and the ascetic
seams between the New Age and the Old Age inevitably frayed.
Vivekananda, who always took the long view, might have been amused.
His enthusiasm for America was boundless and, quite fittingly, he
died on July 4, 1902. He was just 39 years old, but was exhausted
from ceaseless work and untreated diabetes. He had returned to India
and was living in the monastery he founded outside Calcutta. He
excused himself for the evening and went into his room, meditated
awhile, then took two deep breaths — and passed away. Earlier, he
had remarked, "I have given enough for fifteen hundred years." He was
done.

Three women share Nobel Peace Prize
IANS
The Pioneer
http://www.dailypioneer.com
Friday, October 7, 2011
Oslo – The 2011 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded jointly Friday to three
women — Liberia President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, African activist
Leymah Gbowee and Yemen’s Tawakkul Karman — "for their non-violent
struggle for the safety of women and for women’s rights to full
participation in peace-building work".
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is Africa’s first democratically elected female
president. Since her inauguration in 2006, she has contributed to
securing peace in Liberia, to promoting economic and social
development, and to strengthening the position of women, the Nobel
website said.
Leymah Gbowee mobilised and organised women across ethnic and
religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long war in Liberia,
and to ensure women’s participation in elections. She has since
worked to enhance the influence of women in West Africa during and
after war.
In the most trying circumstances, both before and during the "Arab
spring", Tawakkul Karman has played a leading part in the struggle
for women’s rights and for democracy and peace in Yemen.
"We cannot achieve democracy and lasting peace in the world unless
women obtain the same opportunities as men to influence developments
at all levels of society," a press statement said.
"It is the Norwegian Nobel Committee’s hope that the prize to Ellen
Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman will help to bring
an end to the suppression of women that still occurs in many
countries, and to realise the great potential for democracy and peace
that women can represent."
Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist who invented dynamite,
established the Nobel Prizes in his will in 1895. The first awards
were handed out six years later.
