Dear my HIVE family, Wishing all of you a Very Happy Deepavali

The word Dipavali which has two words dipa means light and avail means carrier. Therefore Dipa or Diya (1) signifies ‘coming to light’. In the Vedic Literature it is mentioned: “Tamasa Ma, Jyotir Gamaya” means ‘Do not remain in Darkness, Come to Light’, meaning ‘come to spiritual awareness or awakening’

Deepavali is praised by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and Newar Buddhists, although for every confidence it marks diverse chronicled occasions and stories, yet in any case, the celebration addresses a similar emblematic triumph of light over dimness, information over obliviousness, and great over evil.

Individuals light diyas and lights in their home on Diwali to invite the Goddess Lakshmi in their homes, as it accepted that the goddess will concede riches and flourishing to the people who love her on this event. ...
