Namastē!

On behalf of you fellow listers, here is wishing you, our Hindu Lowlanders,
a wonderful time on the Festival of Lights (Diwali/Deepavali) tomorrow.

Śubhamastu,
Reinhard/Ron

Sanskrit:

   oM asato ma sadgamaya

   Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya

   Mrityor ma amritam gamaya

Lowlands Saxon (Low German):

   Led us vun dey valschhayt na dey waarhayt,
   vun dey düysternis na 't licht,
   vun d'n dood na 't ewige leven,
   un vun 't slurig-syn na 't risch-syn.

English:
   Lead us from falsehood to truth,
   from darkness to light,
   from death to immortality
   and from lethargy to activity.

(_Brhad-Aranyaka Upanishad_ 1:3:28)
