Hi everyone. My name is Ellen Clark-King and I'm the Dean of King's.
I wanted to offer a special greeting to all of our Hindu students and staff this festival time and to wish you all a happy and prosperous Diwali.
In the midst of the often very bleak news, and the grey weather it's a blessing to have a chance to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness of good over evil and of knowledge over ignorance.
As Hindus across the world remember the victory of Rama over the demon Ravana. May this be a time when our own individual demons are defeated, whatever they may be. A time when we continue to create knowledge through excellent research and education. And a time when the world addresses the demons of war, poverty and oppression.
May we all find moments of light and colour this November. And a very happy Diwali to all who celebrate.
