Diwali- Spreading The Lights Of Happiness
Shine like sparkles, glow like candles, and burn all the negativity like crackles. Wish you all a very lovely & cheerful Diwali
Diwali (or Deepawali) is the Hindu festival of lights that is celebrated by Indians all over the world. It is a festival that illuminates the Earth as well as the Skies and brings joy in abundance. It is a Festival that unifies every religion, every home, and every heart and promotes the much-needed peace, harmony, and brotherhood in society.
The festival of Deepavali has a profound spiritual meaning, it essentially means the Awareness of the Inner Light, which has the power to outshine darkness and clear all obstacles in life. It helps in fostering a sense of brotherhood as it encourages people to come together and celebrate the festival regardless of their background.
Diwali’s essence lies in the shloka, ‘Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya’ which means “Lead me from darkness to light”. Similarly, we have to light the lamp of happiness, the lamp of prosperity, and the lamp of knowledge to dispel sorrow, poverty as well as disease.
Diwali is always celebrated in October or November. This year(2021) it starts on November 2nd and goes for five days. The main celebrations happen on the darkest night of the festival. That’s on November 4th.
