Diwali The Festival of Lights......

Here comes again, Diwali, the festival of lights...One of my favourate festivals...celebrated since childhood........Guess its only in the state of kerala, where there is no much funfare on this day...

But in most other states be in North or South India, these festival is celebrated for 4-5 days, or even a month.

The significance or message of this festival is:

LIVE LIKE A CANDLE, WHICH BURNS ITSELF BUT GIVES LIGHT 2 OTHERS.

BE NICE TO OTHERS IN THE SAME WAY, AS YOU WANT OTHERS TO BE NICE WITH YOU.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO LIVE. SO, THINK GOOD AND SAY BETTER AND TRY 2 DO THE BEST, THEN THIS WORLD WILL BE MORE BEAUTIFUL TO YOU.

IMPOSE YOUR OWN TERMS UPON LIFE IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL HAVE 2 ACCEPT THE TERMS OF OTHERS.

LOOK BACKWARD WITH GRATITUDE, UPWARD WITH CONFIDENCE AND FORWARD WITH HOPE.

WHEN U TRUELY CARE FOR SOMEONE YOU DON'T LOOK FOR FAULTS, YOU DON'T LOOK FOR ANSWERS, YOU DON'T LOOK FOR MISTAKES, INSTEAD YOU FIGHT THE MISTAKES, YOU ACCEPT THE FAULTS, AND YOU OVERLOOK THE EXCUSES.

Know the major Indic cultural, historical aspects that make this great festival.

1. Sri Mahalakshmi emerges from the cosmic ocean.
2. Sri Rama returns to Ayodhya, after vanquishing Ravana.
3. Sri Krishna & Satyabhama destroy the evil Narakasura.
4. Sri Kali Puja on the dark night of Diwali Amavasya.
5. Sri Mahavira attains the state of liberation, Pari Nirvana.
6. Sri Bhai Mani Singh resists Islamic tyranny and becomes a martyr for Diwali (1737 CE).

The Festival of Light
The Festival of Liberation
The Festival of Pluralism
The Festival of Sacrifice
The Festival of Freedom.

Celebrate this great festival.
#Deepavali #Diwali
It's also the day Pandavas reach heaven. They start 14 days before dussera and kandils are kept to bid farewell to the departed souls.We should keep them as high as possible

Happy Diwali!!!
