As Diwali is round the corner and whole of India is getting into festive mood, I thought it is a good time for us to remind ourselves that Diwali is something more than crackers and having fun. Beaing aware of the philosophy behind celebrating any festival doubles your joy. To my understanding, Diwali is celebrated as the victory of good over evil. But Diwali also marks the *return of Rama after defeating Ravana. In essence, this return means that during normal course of life, people will face numerous problems but they should be confident that with hard work and faith, good days will return.
Diwali also signifies the power of our inner light. Diwali is an occasion to realise and respect this inner light, which outshines all darkness, removes all obstacles, and dispels all ignorance. Our soul illuniates the surrounding through the karma we practice. This is the same light of hope…
