Fijians should look out for each other especially with the sufferings brought by the COVID-19 pandemic and recent flooding.
This is the message from Shree Sanatan Dharam Pratinidhi Sabha of Fiji Vice President, Pundit Vigyaan Sharma as Hindus around the country are celebrating Maha Shivaratri, a festival celebrated annually in honour of the Lord Shiva.
It marks a remembrance of overcoming darkness and ignorance in life and the world and is observed by chanting prayers, fasting, and meditating on ethics and virtues such as honesty, non-injury to others, charity and forgiveness.
Sharma says there has always been hope during these difficult period.
