And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
Light - the source of all. All that is Good, all that is Holy, and all that is Pure. Light, signifying a triumph over evil, a celebration of being. The light of knowledge, the light of wisdom and the light that pervades all - the light of the soul! Diwali also called Dipawali is a Festival that celebrates the triumph of Goodness over all that is not, through an offering of lights. The festival of lights - Deepawali!
Following closely after the five days festivities of Durga Puja, Deepawali recaptures the mood and recreates the vibes of happiness and fun once again. The nation breathes as one again, and celebrates as one. Every house, every street, every corner lights up, dispelling the faintest shadow of darkness. The country decks up like a bride, in her finery of colourful, vibrant lights. Lights of the illuminated candles and diyas, which are used to decorate homes, and the distinguishing factor of the festival of Deepawali - crackers! No sight could be more attractive than that of a Deepawali night, when exploding crackers light up the night sky in a flood of colours, and brightness, and life! The stars that deck up the firmament as an offering of the elements to the cosmos are reflected by the little diyas and lamps that line up every nook and corner of houses and streets. It is a festival celebrated by man and by Nature, together, in a symphony that pervails the spirit of the occasion.
Deepawali calls for beauty. It calls for togetherness. It stands for all that is good, pure and sacred. It is an occasion that elicits the hope of good in us, again, each year. Doubts clear, wounds heal, worries fade away. The lamps light up hearts, revive hopes, renew dreams. An aura of well being pervades all. And each year we cherish the all-encompassing feeling of goodness. Each year we pray that it does not end with the festival. That it stays. That it uplift us toward the light that so warms up the soul. And every year we give the festival our all. All our faith, all our beauty, All our labours to make it as bright, as happy as we would want each and every day to be, each and every life to be. And each and every year we come back with the same hope.
This Diwali, let us adorn our nation, our cities, our houses with the most valuable finery of all: Belief. To be good, and do good. Let us promise to spread the Light that God has created for us, our entertainment, our enlightenment, our Nirvana.
