Deepavali Festival to illuminate your inner self “ the most important Hindu Festival”
View(s):
Known as the festival of lights, Diwali or Deepavali is one of the most important Hindu festivals, celebrated both in and outside the country. This year the festival will be celebrated on the 20th October.
It signifies the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. The festival starts 18 days after Dussehra.
According to Hindu mythology, this auspicious festival commemorates Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya with Sita and Lakshman after killing Ravana.
The festival generally begins with Dhanteras, the day to buy new things, especially things made of metals. It falls two days before Diwali. The festival ends two days after Diwali, which celebrates the brother-sister relationship.
Apart from Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya, it is also believed that the day symbolises the marriage of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu.
Even Lord Ganesha is worshipped by many Hindus on the occasion.
The festival of joy and love automatically fills every nook and cranny with light. It is the time to buy new things for yourself and your loved ones.
From crackers to sweets to diyas, Diwali is a colourful celebration of lights.
THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF DEEPAVALI FESTIVAL
“VICTORY OF GOOD OVER EVIL”
The festival celebrates the triumph of good over evil, order over chaos and righteousness over wrong.
“SPIRITUAL AWAKENING”
It is a time for self-realisation, reminding individuals to awaken their dormant consciousness and to purify their thoughts.
“RESTORING THE INNER KINGDOM”
On a personal level Deepavali is an invitation to restore “inner peace” by overcoming “inner Ravanas” ( demons) like ego, greed and selfishness, creating an “Inner Ayodhya”, of harmony within oneself.
CONCLUSION
Truly speaking the “exact and the deeper meaning” of celebration, is to “transform oneself to “spiritually uplifted”.
This can be achieved by “Spiritually illuminating Innerself by dispeling inner darkness, such as ignorance, anger, jealousy and hatred, through the
“light of wisdom”, compassion and self-awareness.
