Hinduism is the world’s oldest religion and with more than a billion followers, it is currently the third largest religion. Those practising Hinduism can be found all over our world, with most living in India. Hinduism includes many movements following different beliefs and styles of worship of a Supreme Being who has many unique aspects. Groups and individuals choose one or more of these aspects and use small imitations of these gods as their focus of worship at home or work and larger figures in temples or for special times of worship and celebration.

DIWALI, the Festival of Lights, celebrates the Hindu New Year - Diwali 2011 will be October 26th. A time for decorating homes, gifts and family, it is also a great time for Christians to pray for their Hindu friends and acquaintances. It is the time Believers can join them in praying that they will truly come to know the True God, the one who gave His Son, the Light of the World, to be their Saviour.
