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🪔🪔

Reflecting on Change as the Year Ends

Writing something new has always been an exciting task for me, but doing it on the last night of the year makes it even more special. Another year has passed—survived bravely, and many more lie ahead. It’s amazing to realize that those born in 2000 and 2001 are now adults, some even getting married! Wow, we’ve grown up, haven’t we? Since 2019, it feels like time has been speeding up, with one year blending into the next before we can fully process it. What’s even more surprising is how the next generation, younger than the 2000s, seems to be moving even faster. These rascals are tying the knot before some of us! But when we compare ourselves to older generations, it’s clear they’ve witnessed far more changes than we ever have. Let me explain. Back in their time, there wasn’t widespread access to proper TVs, mobile phones, or computers. They had more time but fewer resources, so they had to utilize their time and strength wisely to save money. Today, we live in an entirely different era...
