Its October..
The start of Festival Season...
This year, we are welcoming the Fall and the Festival season , with this Indian Style wreath.
Diyas or அகல் விளக்கு, entwined in a continous creepers,
Symbolizing, the ever continuous cycle of life
There is no start, There is no End.
There is no birth, there is no death,
As the lamp lights up darkness & paves the path for the lost travellers
let the grace of Swami, light up our lives & enlighten our souls.
I am reminded of this stanza from Shivapuranam,

I am reminded of this stanza from Shivapuranam,
ஆக்கம் அளவு இறுதி இல்லாய், அனைத்து உலகும்
ஆக்குவாய் காப்பாய் அழிப்பாய் அருள் தருவாய்
போக்குவாய் என்னைப் புகுவிப்பாய் நின் தொழும்பின்
நாற்றத்தின் நேரியாய், சேயாய், நணியானே
மாற்றம் மனம் கழிய நின்ற மறையோனே
Oh god who does not have birth , life or death ,
You are the
one who makes
all the world,
You would protect , destroy and also
shower your grace ,
Destroy the
illusion , and make me to serve you ,
Oh god who is
like a scented flower ,
Though you are far
, far away , you are near ,
Oh Lord of Vedas ,
who is beyond mind and thought .
