Deepavali is the Festival of Light,Festival of
Brightness,Festival of Enthusiasm,Festival of Energy.This Festival is a
Gathering of Joyful events of 3 or 4 days.
Narakchaturdashi,Laxmipujan,Padva
( Bala pratipada),Bhaubeeja – Each day explicit some cultural thought,cultural
Philosophy
1) Narakchaturdashi –
It is also called as Kali Chaturdashi.Kali means power or strength ,utilized
for demolishing Demon activities.King Narkasur became devil due to his extra
strong physical power.He was nuisance to common man .He was doing sexual harassment
of women.On this particular day of Diwali, this beast or animal like Narkasur was killed by God Krishna.To
celebrate this victory of Divine over Devil ,people lightened their
houses,cities & roads.So begins Festival of Light.
2) Laxmi Pujan ---
Laxmi means Goddess of Wealth.Pujan means worship.This is the day to worship
wealth .Indian culture explained 4 goals of Life as Dharma ( Righteous duties) ,Artha
( Acquiring wealth) ,Kama (
Enjoyment of Life) & Moksha (
Eternal Happiness) .Indian culture has never disregard the Importance of
Wealth or Laxmi.Laxmi is given respect
as mother. Wealth is like Energy or Power. It should have base of Dharma or
Righteous duties.By utilizing it positively ( for self, Family, Society, Charity)
,person can enjoy godly activities. Acquiring & using wealth in negative
way ( Black money) ,can make person like a demon .Then he will not get Moksha ,that is Eternal & Long lasting
Happiness & Satisfaction.Businessmen, merchants worship their Accounts
diary .Actually everybody of us also can review
our Life Book on this day .We have to debit
anger,jealousy,hatred,greed,bitter moments & must credit positive qualities
like Love,Faith,Enthusiasm
3) Padva ( Bala Pratipada) –
New year is called as Balapratipada.King Bali was famous for his generosity
& Donations.We must remember these qualities of Bali on this day.God Vishnu
believes that Wealth ( Kanak in
Sanskrit) & Woman (Kanta in Sanskrit) ,if not understood properly ,can make
person blind in the attraction of Wealth & woman. Person can not then
discriminate Good & Bad. So God Vishnu teaches us to look towards Wealth
& Woman in a respectful manner ( Laxmi Pujan & Bhau beeja,these 2 days
are representing this Theme)
4) Bhau beej –
Bhau means brother. Person should look towards any woman ( Except his wife) as
a mother or sister & try to protect her
Deepavali is Festival of
Lights .Everybody lights oil lamps ,Lanterns. This is O.K, Good, Fine. But more
important is to light the inside lamp. Greed & Ignorance are dark side of
our life .Knowledge
is a lamp ,which removes our Ego, Greed ,Jealousy & make our
life more beautiful & meaningful.
On Narakchaturdashi ,kill
our demon like habits of Laziness,Unclinliness,Lust,Selfish,Ego etc.On Laxi
pujan we must understand importance of wealth ,acquired in a righteous way ,in
our Life.On Balapratipada we have to make Balance sheet of our life Book.On
Bahu beej ,we must learn to respect women.
New year is for New ,holy
determinations ,forgetting past darkness .If these cultural Teaching could ignite our inner
conscious ,then every day in our life will be Deepavali .Am I right
?
