A colorful festival that is celebrated by all Hindus worldwide is Deepavali, which is also known as the festival of lights. This festival usually falls around late October and November. One important practice that the Hindus follow during the festival is to light oil lamps in their homes on Deepavali morning. By lighting the oil lamps, the Hindus are thanking the gods for the happiness, knowledge, peace and wealth that they have received. The Hindus consider Deepavali as one of the most important festivals to celebrate.You can go through the full details here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diwali .
A Special Poem
Today's the "Festival of Lights" all over,
A joyful day for minds and hearts and souls,
And people throng the temples to offer,
Prayers, resolving to take better roles.
And most of them are richly clad and clean,
And eat such dainty foods and sweets with mirth,
Whilst noisy crackers burst, their lights are seen,
It seems to be a happy day on earth!
But are there not hearts woe-filled,very sad?
Denied of laughter, smiles for days,
Today's the triumph of Good over Bad,
But what about the wastages in much ways?
True joy is when you see someone else smile!!
True charity gives joy in heavenly style!!
Happy Deepavali to all... With love Murugan, Wife Arul and Son Thiiran...
GOD IS ONE!! ALL ARE SAME!! |
