Shubh Deepawali🌹🙏

Six things we traditionally do during Diwali, which if we do with understanding would make our Diwali spiritual and meaningful; 

1. Cleaning of house - Let us also clean our mind of all the accumulated dirt of kama, krodha, moha, mada, matsarya, and lobha

2. We buy/ bring in new things - let us acquire true knowledge

3. We eat sweets - let us share and sweeten other life, particularly of down trodden

4. We light lamps- let us light lamp of knowledge and spread it.

5. We do Laxmi Puja - let us pray for furtherance of our spiritual wealth

6. We burst crackers - let us burst our ego - noice less. but peace descends

One of the biggest and most important festival - means row of lamps. It symbolises victory of good over evil and light over darkness. It is believed that Lord Rama, Sita and Lakshmana was greeted by the glittering lights of thousands of lamps, and the cheers of the people celebrating the end of their exile. A festival of joy and prosperity, one that echoes in most of the household across India. Some for a day, some for five days, and some celebrate it for a month. 

Happy Diwali.

For this year in particular, remember:

P.S. kama (lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), Mada (pride), moha (attachment), and matsarya (jealousy)
