HAPPY DIPAWALI (The festival of lights)

We all know Dipawali is the festival of Light. There are so many mythical and historical reasons why Diwali is a great time to celebrate. This festival is celebrated for five continuous days, with the third day being celebrated as the main Deepawali or as 'Festival of Lights' where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being.

The occasion is marked by visit to the local temple to worship the shrine of Lakshmi, which they have made for Diwali. Eating special sweets, burning of incense sticks, lighting the home and surroundings. Every Indian eagerly waits for the festival of Deepawali as it is the best of all festivals. Homes are cleaned, new clothes are stitched, sweets and other savoury dishes are prepared for the festival and in the night of Diwali Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped.

1.Goddess Lakshmi’s Birthday,2. Vishnu Rescued Lakshmi,3. Krishna Killed Narakaasur,

4.The Return of the Pandavas.and  The Victory of Rama:The most popular legend associated with Deepawali which is on Saturday this year, is the homecoming of King Rama of Ayodhya after a 14-year exile in the forest. The people of Ayodhya (the capital of his kingdom) welcomed Rama by lighting rows (avali) of lamps (deepa), thus its name, Deepawali, or simply shortened as Diwali.

This day is also a special Day for Araya Samaj .This day Maharshi Dayananda, one of the greatest reformers of Hinduism and the founder of Arya Samaj attained his nirvana.  Mahavir Tirthankar, considered to be the founder of modern Jainism also attained his nirvana on Dipawali day so it is also a special day for jain also.

In 1577, the foundation stone of the Golden Temple at Amritsar was laid on Diwali. In 1619, the sixth Sikh Guru Hargobind, who was held by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, was released from the Gwalior fort along with 52 kings.

Diwali is associated with wealth and prosperity in many ways, and the festival of 'Dhanteras'  is celebrated two days before the festival of lights. Diwali is celebrated around the globe. Outside India, it is more than a Hindu festival.

This Year Barack Obama celebrated Diwali by lighting the ceremonial lamp at the White House amidst chanting of Vedic mantras seeking world peace, becoming the first US President to personally grace the occasion.
