For all these years that I've seen our South Indian colleagues and friends celebrate Onam, I would wish them well but never truly understood the philosophy behind it. So, I did a little digging, and here's what I found:
"At its heart, Onam reflects an ideal of a just, egalitarian, and prosperous society — Mahabali's rule is remembered as a golden age of equality, honesty, and abundance where 'all people were equal' and no one suffered."
What a beautiful ideal to celebrate. On behalf of our EMSOL team, I wish all our friends and colleagues who celebrate Onam continued prosperity and joy — and I hope, in some small way, that spirit of justice and equality reaches people everywhere.
Happy Onam!
