Diwali also means the worship
of Maha Laxmi, the Goddess of wealth and prosperity.
A day of preparing a balance sheet of the
whole year. Members of the business community
close their previous year's books of accounts
and open the New Year's accounts by performing
a ceremony to worship Goddess Laxmi, to ascertain
that good profits will be made in the following
year.
On the Diwali day, we light deepaks and spread
light outside, wear new clothes, exchange
sweets, burst firecrackers and celebrate Diwali
with great joy. With this outer celebrations,
this is the day for taking stock of our life,
removing the undesirable elements like anger,
pride, jealousy, greed, animosity, etc. and
to generally remove all forms of darkness
around us. This is the day to analyse how
many good and how many bad deeds we have done
during the year and to resolve to do only
good deeds in the New Year.
To understand the accounts of our life and
to forge ahead on the path of knowledge and
righteousness is the only true celebration
of this occasion. |
