Some facts about Diwali, I wanted to share:
The
first day of Diwali is called Dhanvantari Triodasi or Dhanwantari Triodasi also
called Dhan Theras. The second day of Diwali is called Narak Chaturdasi. It is
the fourteenth lunar day (thithi) of the dark forthnight of the month of Kartik
and the eve of Diwali. On this day Lord Krishna destroyed the demon Narakasur
and made the world free from fear. The third day of Diwali is the actual
Diwali. This is the day when worship for Mother Lakshmi is performed. On the
fourth day of Diwali, Goverdhan Pooja is performed. The fifth day of the diwali
is called Bhratri Dooj. It is a day dedicated to sisters.
In Sikh perspective, Diwali is
celebrated as the return of the sixth Guru, Guru Hargobind Ji from the
captivity of the city, Gwalior. To commemorate his undying love for Sikhism,
the towns people lit the way to, Harmandhir Sahib (referred to as the Golden
Temple), in his honour.
WISHING ALL OF YOU A VERY HAPPY DIWALI AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. MAY LORD GANESHA SHOWERS ALL HIS BLESSINGS...!
