DIWALI or DEEPAVALI IS ANCIENT FESTIVAL OF INDIA
Deepavali is the festival of lights and oil diya or lamp, the festival of joy, prosperity, knowledge and wisdom of people. It is not enough to just light one lamp. People require lots of lamps to be joy and gain knowledge to blossom and for the darkness to be dispelled. People have to lit up with vibrance, joy and full of soulful , that is the real great festival.
Dussehra mainly remember to our indian Great Lord Prabhu SHREE RAMCHANDRA win his victory against SRILANKA KING RAVANA and Celebrate on Deepavali in Ayodhya's people for his great victory and Return back to his State with Brother Laxman, Mata Sita and Hanuman.
Real joy and happiness comes with devotional knowledge. We are worship Great Goddess Maa Mahalaxmi as a symbol of lot of thanks giving to mother Divine for the protection and blessings. We received in the past year. We pray to renew our connectivity with the divinity. The unseen power is everywhere but we are not feeling and not touching. The divinity is dormant and prayer.
If we reflect on ourselves, intentions, thoughts, words and our actions are Often inclined towards wanting. We believe and heartly love so we should be respected and people want to meet my expectations and we want facing Situations to be our way, there is so much that we want. At times, we get what we want and at other times we don't. If everyone is standing on the side of Wants, who will give ? Mainly happiness is never guaranteed on the side of wants, so every home required most single diya , who believes , I am a giver, We believed ancient before that while a light or diya is Glowing, Life is auspicious but when a light or diya extinguishes. Life becomes inauspicious. We really need to think about, It is only a light or diya . How can it make our life auspicious or inauspicious ?
When we give always and give to everyone , the mind is very happy and peaceful, which means life is auspicious but when we keep wanting, asking and seeking. We experience anger, hurt, uncertainly, disappointment or sadness. It means life becomes inauspicious, so Diwali teaches us to shift from wanting to giving.
Let's light the diya of compassion, When we complain, we want situarions and people to change. Light the diya of gratitude. when we criticise, we want people to be the way , we believe is right. Let's light the diya of acceptance. When we compare with others, we want to be like them. Let's the diya of our self respect. When we create jealously. We want what someone else has the Diya or lamp of contentment. When we create competition, we want to get ahead of others. The light or diya of co-operation. Even the rituals leading up to Diwali teach to us how to ignite the power to give.
Always all the mainly five senses are used in worship and it is performed with deep feeling through worship. We say to God, Oh! whatever you give yo me , I give back to you. Worship is honour and humans greatfulness. There are kind of benefits of a YANGYA RITUAL. Mostly if positively believed it is bring always good Yasha, Pragya is our heighted consciousness. Education-vidya, Intellegence- Buddhi, Stength, Valour, Long life, Good health, wealth and Human willingness, energy of function and wisdom. Similarly Maa Mahakali is symbolising power, Maa Mahalaxmi is symbolising material wealth and Maa Mahasaraswati is symbolising of wisdom.
These are the different aspects of human life that are governed by the subtle ouer energy and worship is a way of connecting to the subtle world. The world that we see is just a tips of the iceberg because there is so much more. If anybody have to sit in deep meditation and listen to the MANTRAS, Bathe in the mantras, Which human call Mantra Snanam in our indian culture.
Though we may not understand everuthing that is happening in the worship. We just sit with eyes closed or eyes open and absorb all that is happening. That is we called positive believe and Shradha, which means failing in deep love with the unknown. We know that there is something but we don't know what that is. If once we fall in love with it, we mostly knowing it, Then you Positively feel this unseen energy, then you realise that mother divine is not just a concept that has come from some body's mind.
Mostly Indian people believed these works before Deepavali, As-
1. CLEANING THE HOUSE
2. DECORATING THE HOUSE
3. NEW CLOTHES
4. MANY TYPE OF GIFTS
5. DISTRIBUTE VARIETY OF SWEETS AND PRESENTATION
6. NEW ACCOUNT BOOKS HIS BUSINESS
Let's clean our mind to remove stains of bitterness, resentment, unpleasant past experiences, expectations and dependencies. If single diya lights up another and the second diya or lamp lights up the third and so on soon the world will be glowing with a peace of DEEPMALA.
