THE LEGEND OF DEEPAVALI / DIWALI – FROM DARKNESS TO DIVINE
THE STORY BEHIND DEEPAVALI (DIWALI)
There are several beautiful legends behind Deepavali(Diwali), each reflecting a triumph of righteousness and hope.
One of the most well-known tales is that of Lord Rama. After 14 years of exile and the defeat of the demon king Ravana, Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya with Sita and Lakshmana. The people of Ayodhya lit rows of oil lamps (diyas) to celebrate his return, illuminating the city with joy and devotion. This grand celebration became known as Deepavali, meaning “a row of lights.”
In South India, Deepavali is also associated with Lord Krishna’s victory over the demon Narakasura, symbolizing the end of darkness and the rise of light and goodness.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF LIGHT
The lighting of lamps during Deepavali is not only a ritual but a spiritual reminder. The flame of each diya represents knowledge, wisdom, and inner light, guiding us away from ignorance and negativity.
It is a time to let go of grudges, welcome positivity, and celebrate the light within ourselves and others.
CELEBRATIONS ACROSS HOMES
Homes and streets come alive with twinkling lamps, colorful rangolis, and the aroma of sweets and festive dishes. Families exchange gifts, offer prayers, and share laughter — creating memories that warm hearts long after the festival ends.
FROM DARKNESS TO DIVINE LIGHT
Deepavali reminds us that even in the darkest times, light always prevails. It is not just a festival; it is a message — to choose goodness, spread kindness, and keep the flame of hope alive.
