Deepavali: The Festival of Lights


Deepavali, commonly known as Diwali, is one of the most significant festivals celebrated in India and by Indian communities worldwide. This five-day festival typically occurs between mid-October and mid-November, coinciding with the Hindu lunisolar month of Kartika. Deepavali signifies the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil.

Historical Significance

The origins of Deepavali are rich and varied, reflecting the diverse traditions across India:

  1. Hindu Mythology: Many Hindus celebrate Deepavali to commemorate Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya after defeating the demon king Ravana, as narrated in the epic Ramayana. The citizens of Ayodhya lit lamps (diyas) to welcome him home, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness.

  2. Goddess Lakshmi: Another important aspect of Deepavali is the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. It is believed that she visits homes during this time, and people clean and decorate their houses to invite her blessings.

  3. Sikh Tradition: For Sikhs, Deepavali holds significance as it marks the release of Guru Hargobind Ji from imprisonment. The Golden Temple in Amritsar is famously illuminated during this time, reflecting the spirit of joy and freedom.

  4. Jain Festival: Jains celebrate Deepavali to honor Lord Mahavira's attainment of moksha (liberation) on this day.



  Celebrations and Rituals

Deepavali is celebrated over five days, each with its unique significance:

  1. Dhanteras: The first day marks the beginning of the festival, dedicated to wealth and prosperity. People purchase gold, silver, and new utensils to invite fortune into their homes.

  2. Naraka Chaturdashi: Also known as Choti Diwali, this day commemorates Lord Krishna's victory over the demon Narakasura. Many take ritual baths and light lamps to ward off negativity.

  3. Lakshmi Puja: The main day of Diwali involves the worship of Goddess Lakshmi. Families perform pujas (prayers), decorate their homes with rangoli (colorful patterns made with powders), and light diyas and candles.

  4. Govardhan Puja: This day celebrates Lord Krishna's lifting of the Govardhan Hill to protect villagers from heavy rains. In some regions, people prepare a feast and create a representation of the hill with food.

  5. Bhai Dooj: The final day honors the bond between brothers and sisters. Sisters pray for their brothers' well-being and brothers, in turn, express their love and appreciation

What is the Spiritual Meaning of Govardhan Puja?

 The story of Govardhan Puja is a fascinating tale from Hindu mythology, associated with Lord Krishna and his divine intervention to protect the people of Vrindavan from the wrath of Indra, the god of rain and thunder. The Story: Once upon a time, the people of Vrindavan were preparing to worship Indra, as they believed he was responsible for the rain that nourished their crops and sustained their lives. However, young Krishna, recognizing the true source of their sustenance as the Govardhan Hill, a local mountain that provided grazing land for their cattle, advised them to worship the hill instead. Displeased by this disregard, Indra unleashed a torrential downpour upon Vrindavan, threatening to flood the entire region. Seeing the plight of his people, Krishna, with his divine powers, lifted the entire Govardhan Hill on his little finger, shielding Vrindavan from the relentless rain. For seven long days and nights, Krishna held up the mountain, protecting the people and their live...
धनतेरस आज  ***** कार्तिक माह के कृष्ण पक्ष की त्रयोदशी तिथि को धनतेरस का पर्व मनाया जाता है। यह पांच  दिवसीय दिवाली के त्योहार का पहला दिन होता है। इसके बाद से ही त्योहार शुरू हो जाते हैं। पौराणिक मान्यताओं के अनुसार इस दिन समुद्र से भगवान धन्वंतरि हाथ में सोने का कलश लेकर प्रकट हुए थे, इसलिए इस दिन धन में वृद्धि के लिए सोना, चांदी, बर्तन, वाहन, घर, भूमि आदि खरीदने की परंपरा चली आ रही है। धनतेरस के दिन बहुत से लोग सोना-चांदी खरीदते हैं तो कई लोग वाहन भी खरीदते हैं। मान्यता है कि धनतेरस पर कोई भी वस्तु खरीदकर लाने से घर में उसके 13 गुना धन की वृद्धि होती है। माना जाता है कि धनतेरस पर खरीदा गया वाहन सुख और सफलता प्रदान करता है। वहीं अगर धनतेरस के दिन वाहन शुभ मुहूर्त में खरीदा जाए तो यह और भी शुभ माना जाता है। धनतेरस का पूजा मुहूर्त  ================= धनतेरस - 29 अक्टूबर 2024 कार्तिक कृष्ण त्रयोदशी तिथि शुरू - 29 अक्टूबर 2024, सुबह 10.31 कार्तिक कृष्ण त्रयोदशी तिथि समाप्त - 30 अक्टूबर 2024, दोपहर 01.15 पूजा मुहूर्त - शाम 06.31 - रात 08.13 यम दीपम मुहूर्त - शाम 05.38 - शाम 0...
