How To Celebrate Deepawali

Deepawali is not just a festival for worshipping Goddess Lakshmi, eating sweets, wearing new clothes or lighting ghee lamps. There is a great secret significance of this festival and by understanding it, can enable one to celebrate the festival in the best possible manner.

Every Indian eagerly waits for the festival of Deepawali as it is the best of all festivals. Homes are cleaned, new clothes are stitched, sweets and other savoury dishes are prepared for the festival and in the night of Diwali Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped.

Diwali was the day when thousands of years ago Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya having defeated and killed Ravan. The people of Ayodhya celebrated his homecoming by lighting ghee lamps all over the city and by decorating their streets and houses.

It is to remember those moments that every year Diwali is celebrated as a favoured festival. More importance is given to this day than even the birthday of the Lord, Ramnavmi, or Maargshirh Shukla Panchami when Lord Ram and Sita were married.

Even the ancient texts contain reference to this very auspicious day. What is the reason for this day being so important?

It is one of the greatest and most enthusiastically celebrated festivals of all times. Preparations for this start from Ashvin Navratri itself. But there is a very deep significance behind this festival and if we celebrate it without understanding the same then we would be merely performing a formality.

Rishi Pulatsya accomplished a very special Lakshmi Sadhana in order to gain wealth and prosperity. Many texts contain reference to this Sadhana. He placed a Shree Lakshmi Yantra in a copper plate and lit a ghee lamp. He sat on a yellow mat facing North. Then with a White Hakeek rosary he completed 11 rounds of a Mantra which compelled Lakshmi to appear. This proved that the Mantra devised by the sage was really divine and efficacious. After this many Sadhaks tested the power of this Sadhana and each time it proved miraculously effective.
