REKINDLE YOUR INNER LIGHT Diwali is a festival of dazzling lights, ecstatic joy and enthusiasm ringing in to fill our lives with happiness every year. It’s the oldest and most joyous among all the festivals that’s celebrated all over the world. There are several mythological stories heralding the beauty and importance of this most auspicious festival. For young and old alike, Diwali brings good tidings and fortune for which people clean up their homes and minds alike as they believe the goddess of wealth would visit and shower all boons on those whose premises are clean and decorated, and duly illuminated with oil lamps or candles. However, while cleaning our house, we should also remember to clean-up our minds. Through self-introspection, we should try to locate and remove once for all the filth that has gathered within us and which we are unable to get rid of even through repeated efforts. This can be easily achieved by using the treasure of knowledge, virtues and experience given to us by the Supreme Almighty. Diwali is followed by New Year, hence people greet each other so that the new year brings in a lot of peace, bliss and prosperity in everyone’s lives. Diwali signifies the victory of good over evil, of virtue over vice, of enlightenment over ignorance. As Diwali falls on the day of ‘Amavasya’, which is symbolised by darkness, there is a competition among each household to light the maximum number of attractive lamps inside and outside the house that signifies the enlightenment that comes during the darkest period of ignorance. We have been celebrating this festival earlier also and will be doing so hence forth. But, this Diwali let us all realise the value and beauty of our own spiritual self and our eternal relationship with the Supreme Being, and re-kindle our inner light to spread the light of love, peace and harmony among all human beings!
