Today marks the beginning of the 5 days of Diwali 🪔celebration. Also called Dipavali or Divali, meaning “a row of lamps”, this festival celebrates light as a symbol of goodness and its victory over the darkness of ignorance and evil.
On the moonless night of Diwali, countless oil lamps are lit in honor of Lakshmi, goddess of abundance. Lamps are arranged in long rows on terraces and windowsills, placed at doorsteps, or floated on rivers — illuminating homes and hearts alike.
Popular tradition has overlapped the cult of the goddess on the memory of an event in Rāmā’s history: his return to his capital Ayodhya after exile.
In South India, people wake before dawn, bathe, anoint their bodies with oil, and dress in new, colorful clothes. Gifts and saris are exchanged, and old resentments are left behind. The atmosphere itself seems transformed — a vibration of kindness and renewal fills the air.
Every light, every lamp, every flame is a way to welcome the Divine Mother, Lakshmi, bringing prosperity and joy. ✨
Make your own abundance wishes 🙏 full of brightness and take rest tomorrow (new moon day 🌑).
