Friends:
I am honored to share with you the Greetings sent by the President of the United States of America to the Hindus in USA and around the world on the happy occasion of Deepavali (Diwali). Thanks for your support.

The text is as follows:

 

THE WHITE HOUSE Washington October 16, 2003

I send greetings to Hindus in the United States and around the world as you celebrate Deepavali (Diwali), the Festival of Lights.

Marking the beginning of the Hindu New Year, Diwali provides an opportunity to give thanks for the renewal of life, reflect on lessons learned, and anticipate future blessings. By celebrating their beliefs, ancestry, and culture, Hindus in America and around the world enrich communities and ensure that important values and customs are passed on to future generations.

Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a joyous Diwali. May the coming year be filled with hope and happiness.

signed: George Bush
