During the festival of lamps are lit in every home, office, etc. that is why this festival is also known as the ‘Festival of Lights’. Diwali is also called as Deepavali. Hence DAWFIN means ROW OF LAMPS
According to Hindu Dharma, spiritual festivals increase the sattvikta in us as well as in the society. Unfortunately, these days, Diwaliis celebrated either for namesake or without any efforts made to gain spiritual benefit from the same. As a result, Diwali has turned into a festival of pollution of smoke and noise of fire crackers, exchange of expensive gifts, new clothes, variety of foods, etc. During Diwali, many people get injured due to the fire crackers. Bursting of fire crackers with Deity’s pictures on them leads to denigration and sin. This festival has lost its true spirit depriving Hindus from getting the full benefit of the Divine Consciousness (Chaitanya) that is integral to all our festivals and celebrations.
On the occasion of Diwali, let us make a firm resolve to celebrate this festival in a spiritually correct way and derive maximum spiritual benefits..
