On the Eve of Diwali: A Reflection

 

Diwali is one of India's most well-known and important festival, which is celebrated by both Hindus and people of other faiths. It is a festival of light, joy, and the spirit of victory over evil. This festival, like other religious celebrations, has its roots in the illustrious past of India, particularly in legends like the Ramayana.
Diwali is mainly celebrated to remind the Lord Ram's victorious return to Ayodhya (India). Lord Ram was sent on exile along with his wife Sita for fourteen long years, but during those time, Sita was abducted by the vicious Ravana, the Lord of demon who took her to the island of Sri Lanka.
In a sense, it is more than just a simple celebration of light; it also has a deeper significance for the world's salvation, the salvation of women, and the pursuit of virtue. There are still numerous areas where women are still severely oppressed, despite the fact that they are now much more matured, educated, and empowered.
In many regions of India, women continue to lack access to basic care and education. Many places where men are not properly educated and fed mentally, which is why all evils still find a place in their minds very easily. Which is not to say that women should despise males or compete with them, but after all, we live in a global community. However, by taking a lesson from the life of Lord Ram and Sita, we must love, care and respect for one another as well as have faith and trust in one another. 
Similarly in other tradition also, there must be some stories or myth following the color of grandeurs light and celebrations. 
However, I am neither obsessed with history nor with the epic Life stories of these mightiest Legends, I was rather amazes by this bright yellow and crimson light emanating from the exquisite hand-made diyas which astounded my mind and took away my heart. 
Fire, as we all know, has warmth as one of its properties. And I was simply taking in its vibrant colour and the pure warmth and comfort light which occasionally blended with white, yellow, red, and indigo lights. 
Given that it is naturally bright and light, its presence in every home and in every soul warm and delight in its pure essence. 
I am sure there are many more modern days Ravanas present in our house, in our home, in our mind, and in our spirit and also in our environment which drain us unknowingly and make us look tried and weary. It must not necessarily our mobile phone and laptops, or any technologies which basically lack any emotion or any energies. 
Modern days ravanas must be our own constant negative buildups, overthinking because of weak mindsets, insecurities, lack of faith and trust, fear of missing out so on and so forth. These things truly suck in our all pure energy and and pure spirit and vibrant light of our soul. 
The light of Diwali is to gives us more spirit and positive energy to recharge our body and renew our mind and mindsets. Which is why I think every individual no matter what the faith or tradition should come forward to celebrate this festival of Light called Diwali.

Autumn : A season of Fall

 

Autumn is one of the best season of the year, with its fiery scarlet leaves gracefully fluttering to the ground. With it's lovely languid glides to earth, which conveys it's greatest accomplishments and deep contentment.

Once more tumbling with complete grace, but this time with more grace and satisfaction. The mighty cold winter and protracted sleep, the buzzing winds of Spring waved through Summer in full dress and bloom.

Ah! What a year and Season in nature for Change!

Summers bloom has produced some buried foes.  Everyone, both known and unknown, competes for the beauty of Summer, but Autumn, a season of complete rest and tranquility with no extreme, but only a slow re- rooting to earth, it's source and it's proper place of belonging.

After all work and the labor of Stocking, Storing, the Exchanging and Evaluating, the profits and the loss, the pressure of work force has consumed the very pure Spirit of mankind. 

Well, the Autum is here for all of us to remind, that fall and rest is equally a necessary component of Nature .

That the vibrant color of Summer is now over, but with assurance to come back, it time for all of us to evolved back  into our own color and our own pure nature, which is not green and bright and Sunny, but it is like a crimson, scarlet foliage and the mild Sunshine.

For this beautiful hues of Autum even the  Moon has dropped few compliment.
