Diwali

The #Hindu #Diwali festival celebrates light over dark, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is a major event on the #Caribbean island of #Trinidad, which has one of the largest Hindu populations outside India concentrated within its 1,864 square miles of coastline. I was drawn to Trinidad because the Caribbean locale seven miles off the coast of Venezuela afforded me the opportunity to experience the Hindu faith in the Western Hemisphere—a prelude to a future trip to the sub-continent. My introduction to East Indian culture included getting to wear a gorgeous sari!

While on Trinidad, I learned that with the abolition of slavery in the British colonies in 1838, Trinidad plantation owners sought alternative sources of cheap labor and in 1845 the first Indian laborers arrived on the ship Fathal Razaak. Hired as indentured servants, they came mainly from the poorer parts of Uttar Pradesh. They undertook the three-month journey to the New World with the understanding that after their five-year work stint was over, they could re-indenture themselves or return to India. The system stayed in place until 1917; in 1995, Trinidad elected its first prime minister of East Indian heritage.

#Travel is always an adventure in discovering just how much I dont know. What I hadn't expected to discover in Trinidad was its rich cultural and spiritual diversity.

In a 2011 census, Trinidad’s population was identified as being 37.6 percent East Indian, 36.3 percent African, 24.2 percent mixed heritage, with the miniscule balance being European or Asian. Religious affiliation was recorded at that time as being 21.6 percent Roman Catholic, 18.2 percent Hindu, 6.9 percent Baptist and five percent Muslim, with other faiths representing the balance.

During my ten-day visit, I was welcomed by ambassadors from many of T & T’s diverse and vibrant communities. My experiences ranged from participating in the joyous Sunday services of the Shouter Baptist congregation of Mount Bethel Cathedral, who worship in heart-felt song and movement, to an AmerIndian smoke ceremony conducted by shaman Adonis Christo at his home on the steep Calvary Hill in Arima.

I took an All Saints Day evening stroll through La Peruse Cemetery in Woodbrook, where families lit candles of remembrance on the graves of loved ones. The next day, at the Monastery of Mount St. Benedict, I observed monks honor their departed brethren on All Souls Day. On my last day, I visited Jinnah Memorial Mosque and adjoining Trinidad Muslim League, a school that encompasses a kindergarten, primary and secondary school, located in the first capital of Trinidad, St. Joseph.

And tomorrow...more about Diwali!
