Whereas this year, 2013, many Members of Congress will cel-

Whereas celebrants of Diwali believe that the rows of lamps 
symbolize the light within the individual that rids the 
soul of the darkness of ignorance; 
Whereas Diwali falls on the last day of the last month in the 
lunar calendar and is celebrated as a day of thanksgiving 
and the beginning of the New Year for many Hindus; 
Whereas for Hindus, Diwali is a celebration of the return of 
God following the vanquishing of demonic forces; 
Whereas for Sikhs, Diwali is feted as the day on which the 
sixth founding Sikh guru, Guru Hargobind, was released 
from captivity by the Mughal Emperor Jehangir; 
Whereas for Jains, Diwali marks the anniversary of the at-
tainment of Nirvana by Lord Mahavira, the last of the 
Tirthankaras (founders of the Jain philosophy); and 
Whereas Diwali is a celebration of great importance in Indian 
American communities throughout the United States: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the historical and religious sig-
nificance of Diwali; 
(2) in observance of Diwali, the festival of 
lights, expresses its deepest respect for Indian Amer-
icans and the Indian Diaspora throughout the world
