"Deepavali" - a light in our self

Dear Friends, Deepavali is a great festival of Lights in India. This festival is of great importance in the hindu mythology and in the hindu tradition. Hindus believe that this festival brings new joy and prosperity to their lives and to their family. History gives us the reason for celebrating this festival as the death of "Naragashura". A festival to rejoice the birth of happiness in everyone.

Celebration starts with new dress, bursting crackers, eating sweets, meeting friends and family. It is always a great day to share happy moments with family and friends. Evening people light their houses with lamps making it so bright. The big question is do the day gets completed by this, is there something more to do in deepavali to make it complete?

Even i dont know if i know an answer for this question, but i have tried understanding what does that mean, what does this festival mean. Well this festival is definitely a festival of lights. But i would say it is a festival of lights within our self than outside.
What does this mean is, it is a day of bringing light in our souls by removing the darkness, so let us try and light lamps inside our body to make it bright by getting rid of the darkness created by the bad things of our life. It is a day to understand the darkness that has been created inside every body. And how this darkness leads us to an unknown destination.

Deepavali, is a great day to cherish ourselves in making a sincere effort in removing the darkness in our souls and make it bright, light it with lamps, wear new dresses inside, burst the crackers of sorrows.

Let us make a sincere effort this deepavali to make ourselves happy and our neared ones happy. Light yourselves with lights of happiness and make this deepavali a great day.

Wishing you all a great and a happy deepavali.
