Hiya Blogerities
Well its getting into party time again in India
Ede has passed and now its the build up to Diwali
What Diwali all about then ?
A festive time of Fun for all the Family.
Known as the "Festival of Lights," it symbolizes the victory of good over evil, and lamps (called diyas or kandils) are lit as a sign of celebration and hope for humankind.
The lights also represent the time when Rama came back from the forest, and all his village lit lamps to welcome him back home.
Celebrations focus on lights and lamps, particularly traditional dīpa or deeya (earthen lamp). Fireworks are associated with the festival.
Hindus and Sikhs alike regard it as a celebration of life and use the occasion to strengthen family and social relationships.
There are several beliefs regarding the origin of the holiday. The most repeated version is that Hindus celebrate Diwali to mark the time when Lord Rama achieved victory over Ravana.
Some also view it as the day Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura or in honor of the day Bali went to rule the nether-world, obeying the order of Vishnu.
It is also a significant festival for the Sikh faith.
In India, Diwali is now considered to be more of a national festival, and the aesthetic aspect of the festival is enjoyed by most Indians regardless of faith
This is what India is about for us , understanding and an acceptance of all religions, races or creed.
Some have written as to why this is , but as usual if you read it yourself, only you can decide whats true and whats spun, as all thats written is only an opinion of the author.
You have to taste the real world
"listen to what you what to want to hear, understand what you want to believe"
Bit deep for a blog , or maybye not for the readers?
Namaste
