Day_26(Series-Part6)

 Hello everyone, Welcome to my blog no 26. 

Today on this auspicious day I wish you and your family, SHUBH DEEPAWALI 🪔.

If you are new to my blog, than please read my previous blog of this series. 

In the last blog we discussed about Gurus of Lord Ram. Today on this religious day let us talk about this prosperous festival of  Deepawali🪔

Diwali commemorates Lord Rama's triumphant return to Ayodhya after a 14-year exile and his defeat of the demon King Ravana. Hindus celebrate Diwali as a unifying cultural event, both in India and among the Indian diaspora. This festival also symbolizes the victory of good over evil and the triumph of light over darkness.

Diwali involves the veneration of deities like Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi, engaging in time-honored customs to deepen one's spiritual bond. It is also a propitious period for pursuing good fortune and success, heralding fresh starts in personal and business pursuits. Communities come together as people decorate their homes with lamps, candles, and vibrant lights, exchange gifts, enjoy sweet treats, observe rituals passed down through the generations, perform Lakshmi Puja, and participate in acts of benevolence.

According to the legend, Lord Rama's homecoming in Ayodhya was marked by the lighting of streets and residences, a practice that endures as the Festival of Lights. Diwali symbolizes the triumph of light, virtue, and wisdom over darkness, malevolence, and ignorance. It represents the dispelling of negativity and uncertainty from our lives, fostering the illumination of our inner beings with clarity and positivity. The festival promotes prosperity through prayers to Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha, the sharing of gifts with loved ones, and acts of philanthropy.

Apart from this there are some new facts that even I came to know and I want you all should know as well. 

  1. Diwali falls on a no-moon night - It is celebrated in the month of Kartik on Amavasya (moonless night), according to the Hindu calendar.                        
  2. The foundation of the Golden Temple was laid on Diwali.                                                                
  3. The festival is marked with different names across the country and outside its borders. In Nepal, it is marked as Tihar ir Swanti. In Malaysia, it is called Hari Diwali. In Thailand, people observe Diwali as Lam Kriyongh and light lamps on bana leaves.                                          
  4. Apart from India, the city of Leicester, in the United Kingdom, holds the largest Diwali celebrations. Every year, tens of thousands of people gather in the streets to enjoy a night of light, music, and dancing.              
  5.  In Bengal, people worship Maa Kali - the destroyer of all evil forces - on Diwali. In Nepal, people worship Lord Krishna and celebrate his victory over the wicked king Narakaasura.
If you read my blog than share it with your friends and family stay safe and enjoy this festival of lights🪔🪔

Journey to Mahakali's Grace: A Spiritual Expedition to Pavagadh

Hello everyone, and welcome to my Journey to Pavagadh. Today's blog is going to be about my travel experience. This Sunday, I visited Pavagadh, which is near my city. Despite living in Vadodara, this was my first time visiting Pavagadh. I went with my Massi, and in the early morning, we set out for the journey. We caught the bus from the station directly to Pavagadh. The bus first went to Halol and then to Pavagadh. From Pavagadh, we had to go up to Manchi, and another bus took us there. Manchi is the starting point where all the devotees begin their journey to meet Mahakali. The journey to the top is not as easy as it seems; it's quite challenging. We sat at various places, took small breaks, had energy drinks, engaged in discussions, and then resumed our journey to the top. I am not sure about the total number of stairs in the climb. During my ascent, I saw many devotees heading to meet Mahakali with their own trust and belief—some to ask for something, some to thank Mahakali...
