Trekking Day 6

10/27/2011

Today it is the festival called Tihar, when the Hindu people of Nepal celebrate Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity and light. Last night and tonight, the lodge owners lit candles on the porches, which created a very magical feeling. I remember celebrating Laksmi Day in Fairfield, Iowa - instead of candles, people used white Christmas lights and strung them around their doors. Lakshmi, may my days and my doings please you, and may I earn your blessings of light, prosperity, and illumination!

Namaste
