I keep wondering why some Hindus dont know the difference between the 22nd and the 23rd. Is it because everything is written in English in America and they only know Hindi??  Your comments please.

* Go easy on hindus.

* A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NUMERICALLY ILLITERATE.

* 22, 23 ---looks the same to them.

The reason they dont know the difference is because we have Irfan Ali preaching to young Hindus they looking for the moon not the calendar.

Then in Berbice you have Zulphikar mustafa as MC and chief organizer for Diwali celebrations and events in region 6.

Dat is why..............

If I was ah Hindu. I wouldn't put up wid this

Ray Bhai, Mother Laxmi entered my Home last night. All I would say is some people need a good lesson on MULTICULTURALISM.

Nehru, I'm answering you as a Hindu. Frankness for frankness.

My uncle in Maryland, married to a Brahmin pandit's daughter, told me his Hindu calendar has Diwali on October 22.

My mother in Toronto says her calendar has Diwali on 23rd.

People rely on their calendars in these matters.

Today is 24th. I say to you HAPPY DIWALI. Call me illiterate.

My sentiments exactly...

Ow Lard...aluh hear this ignar disgracing de Hindoo dem. Goh drink yuh likka yea. 

Why would I call you illiterate. Whatever and Whenever you gain SALVATION is what is important.  Who am I to tell you or anyone else how or when to celebrate.  The day I become that ARROGANT I will ask God to forgive me.

Rev, I'm taking your #58 joke in good faith. But, I caution you, don't ridicule our early Hindu sugar workers.

True, the majority were not literate in the English language, but they were quite literate in Hindi, Tamil or whatever their first language was. My paternal grandfather was one such. He couldn't read or write in English. He owned 7 or 8 big and medium-sized books in Hindi and Sanskrit. Many times when I visited I watched him reading them, sometimes to his old friends with whom he would have long discussions about the subject matter of those books.

Even today, there are immigrants in Canada who cannot read or write in English. Some attend English as a Second Language [ESL] classes and are taught from scratch ---ABC/123etc. How they got into Canada heaven knows, but that's another issue.

Do you, oh informed one, know the difference?

Gilly, it was my joke about the 58. I am not using this as a ridicule. This is a true incident. The man was from India and he could speak Hindi fluently. I am sure he calculated his earnings in Hindi.

Nehru Bhai

Hare Krsna and Happy Divali.

Please let me explain based on Vedic Calculations that date thousands of years.

India is a large continent divided in North and South India.

South India calculate dates on the position of the Moon and Sun based on the geographical location of Chennai (Tamil Nadu). Here, Divali falls on Asvin Krsna Chaturdasi which is the day before the New moon Amavasya according to the LuniCalendar and according to my 100 years patra falls it on Oct 22.

North India calculate dates based on the position of the Moon and Sun based on the geographical location of Uttar Pradesh in the North. It falls on Amavasya of the New Moon and according to my 100 years Patra it falls on Oct 23.

Both are technically correct based on your geographical location. Similar to New Years starting at different times in different time zones.

Hope this clears it up. Only if the Pandits can get their act together.

yuji

YUji Bhai, With all due respect, I am more concerned with a calculation of Guyana. I do not live in the same Time Zone as India but that of Guyana.

New Years is celebrated in Australia before NA for a reason.

You want to put a rift between muslims and hindus now? What a feral swine!

Most people celebrated Diwali yesterday (10/23). Liberty corridor look like a holiday. Every bar that I pass by was empty. Even them rum men took a day off from lifting rum bottle all day. Hindus are keeping up the tradition of Diwali, but most of them forget we spread across the globe and bound by different time zone. My mother use to tell me Diwali is on the darkest night in October, which is between new moon and full moon. Anyway, to avoid argument, I don't get involve with dates. I guess the moon is very important for most religions. BTW, I am still waiting for my goodies. That's how I celebrate Diwali. After hour.
