The human Hindu holiday of Diwali begins tonight, a festival of lights celebrating renewal, a new financial year, and the triumph of good over evil. For five days, celebrants hang traditional candle lamps called “diyas” outside their houses to guide good fortune to them or celebrate the gods’ victory over darkness. On starships where open flames consume needed oxygen, diyas are typically replaced with an LED display outside the practitioner’s cabin. Diwali is also a time for exchanging gifts, eating sweet foods, bathing with oil, and lighting firecrackers. Though often celebrated secularly, the holiday is not without its spiritual side – observant humans use the days to contemplate the inner light, or “soul”, that transcends the physical form.
