DEAR ALL,
Deepavali signifies many things to Hindus: It is the celebration of the marriage of Lakshmi with Lord Vishnu. It commemorates the day triumphant Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana. It also signifies Sri Krishna's destruction of demon Narakasura.
More than anything, it is the Light of lights, the self-luminous inner light of the Self that is ever shining, so we pray & meditate that He'll light up our lives & remove the darkness of ignorance!
May you all attain full inner illumination!
May the supreme light of lights enlighten your understanding!
May you all attain the inexhaustible spiritual wealth of the Self!
May you all prosper gloriously on the material as well as spiritual planes!
GREETINGS FOR DIVALI : MY POEM*Deepawali---Of all the festivals celebrated in India, Diwali is by far the most glamorous and important. Enthusiastically enjoyed by people of every religion its magical and readiant touch creates an atmosphere of joy and festivity. Deepawali is celebrated 20 days after Dussehra on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin.Festival of Lights or Deepawali is a festival which has the potential of unifying entire India because of the charisma and splendor surrounding this festival. Diwali has been given the traditional name of ‘festival of lights’ because of the lakhs and lakhs of small oil lamps or diyas lighted by households. The burning of these diyas are considered to be the lighted pathway of a person’s expression of happiness and also a manner of paying obeisance to God, the Supreme power for attainment of health, prosperity, knowledge, financial security and peace in one’s life.
‘The festival of lights’ is celebrated with much enthusiasm and zeal in all of north India. In fact, the festival of Diwali is regarded to bring the supernatural joy and brightness in a person’s life with the hope of discovering light amidst darkness, achieving happiness in place of ignorance and spreading of love amidst hatred and violence. The tradition of lighting the diyas on Diwali holds much importance as in Hindu mythology the light signifies goodness and vitality. In cities, candles and classy neon lights often substitute these diyas.
The idea behind the lighting of diyas and candles on the festival of lights comes from a number of stories as mentioned in the Hindu mythology. The most famous of these stories is the story revolving around Lord Ram and his family. Diwali celebrates the homecoming of Lord Ram who according to a legend came home to Ayodhya after defeating the evil King Ravana and spending fourteen years in exile. Diwali is also the day of Loard Ram’s coronation. As with other Indian festivals Diwali signifies many different things to people across the country. Almost all over India the festival is celebrated to honor goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth. In Bengal, it is related with Goddess Kali.
