Diwali-Also known as "The festival of light" is simply beautiful. During Diwali, candles are lit to signify the triumph of good over evil and also to signify the inner light of purity within oneself. That there can be good in all man. That in total darkness there can still be light. That there can still be hope. It represents to commit good deeds and bring us closer to divinity.
It's probably the only time in the year where my family all actually get along with each other. The only time in the year where I actually think that things are OK. No matter how bad things might be-things are still OK-if that even makes sense.
There are stories-lots of stories, amazing stories that should be read. There are a ton of books and a ton of websites which will explain the best part of the year more better than I ever could. Please check them out.
Ha at last a lighter side shines through. All religions use the symbolism of light driving out the darkness, however first we have to open the curtains.
