If there is one occasion which is all joy and all jubilation for one and all - the young and the old, men and women - for the entire Hindu world, it is Deepaavali - the Festival of Lights. Even the humblest of huts will be lighted by a row of earthen lamps. Crackers resound and light up the earth and the sky. The faces of boys and girls flow with a rare charm in their dazzling hues and colours. Illumination - Deepotsavas - in temples and all sacred places of worship and one the banks of rivers symbolise the scattering of spiritual radiance all round from these holy centres. The radiant sight of everybody adorned with new and bright clothes, especially ladies decorated with the best of ornaments, captures the social mood at its happiest.

The preparation of Divali, brings the atmosphere pure and healthy; house, roads, dwelling places of all are spotlessly cleaned. The buildings are whitewashed and painted in beautiful colours of variety, launching a new spirit in life. The killing of ‘Naraksura’ (Hell) cannot be done by man alone; there must be co-operation between man and woman. For this reason Krishna (Active selfless worker) inspired by Indra (mind) destroys ‘Naraksura’ along with his wife Satyabhaama. The mother of Naraksura (Bhoomi - earth) presents many precious jewels of rarity to Krishna. Sixteen thousand women (Nariyan - the different veins of the human body) are liberated from the atmosphere of hell and life becomes happy and joyous.

Traditionally, it is essential to bathe on this day ‘Narak Chaturdashi’ before sunrise. It is said whoever bathes after sunrise loses all merits of his good deeds of the year.

This fearful saying is only to warn people it is an accepted fact that everybody should rise early in the morning. That person who sleeps after sunrise, is always sick, unhappy and lazy; so not only on this particular day, but man should bathe before sunrise everyday, especially in ‘Kartik’.

It is necessary that on Narak Chturdashi, and throughout the year all places should be kept clean; as it is an accepted fact that where there is cleanliness there is health; where there is health there is virility; and where there is virility there is Lakshmi (Goddess of wealth). The flame of the deyah not only purifies the atmosphere of the home, but also keeps away all ferocious and poisonous creatures (all animals are afraid of fire).

It is said when the Sun is in ‘Tula Rashi’ (Libra) there is a tradition to take a burning stick and wave it around for the Pitris. This tradition is followed by every Hindu in India by Hanging the ‘Kandeel’ or ‘Aakaasha Deep’ high in the sky fixed in a long pole - meaning it is used as a lighthouse for travellers.

The festival of Lakshmi Puja - Divali - is the symbol of a happy, healthy and prosperous life. On this auspicious day, we should not only remove the darkness of our homes, but we should also remove the darkness (hatred, jealousy, ego, enmity) from our minds and hearts. We should light the lamps of universal love, unity and brotherhood. We should strive to make the world happy, healthy and prosperous.

Celebrating with illumination and fireworks, joy and festivity,  signifies the victory of divine forces over those of wickedness.
