Dilwali❤️-Deepavali✨

Hello peeps!

Before all else let me wish you all a very Happy Deepavali ✨!

I wanted to write this blog cuz for many of us Deepavali is just lighting diyas, firing crackers and eating varieties of food(passing time with mobiles is recently added!)! To be honest, I am one of the active member of this club!

But this time I really wanted to explore whats the point in celebrating blindly.

Here we go! 

Putting behind all the mythological stories we have been tuned into, lighting of diyas has a significance that matters. 

Traditionally the deepavali is all about worshipping the deity Dhanvantri for one's health and well being. As time flew, dhanvantri and the trayodashi of this month combined to form Dhanteras which meant praying for wealth! So deepavali was about health became wealth! 

Why is it about health is, for those who live in the northern hemisphere, certain things change from this moment. In a way there is a slow down of life!

So in these winter months, how one should be alive without sinking down, without losing sense of balance and purpose of life, how to do this?

For this there is entire science where lighting of lamps and burning of crackers help us to not to slip into a slowdown. 

This slow down of life happens because of  the way the planets and the sun are positioned changes.

In these times, there is a tendency for the body to hibernate. We may have known that seed doesn't sprout or may not grow to its fullest potential in this season. That's why nobody plants a seed from this season to makara sankranthi.

Everything in the northern hemisphere experiences slow down and to come over we are preparing to do more energetic things around us in a way we are trying to assert our evolution so that we do not become a part of hibernating kind of state!

If you physically or mentally slow down you may be susceptible to the negative forces which are acting upon not when you are vibrant and alive. These lighting of lamps and burning of crackers💥💣 will help u to be alive and rejuvenating!

It must be kept alive until the end of fourteenth of January, you need music, you need more light! This also explains the reason behind lighting lamps everyday in the karthika masam.

So this is the significance of celebrating deepavali✨! 

Every culture makes sense! 

Every blog has a story! 

Even mine has a sweet nothing!
