LEARNINGS FROM DIWALI FESTIVAL


 


Diwali means “A row of lights”. It is one of the most important festivals of India. It is not confines to Hinduism. In Nepal this day is celebrated as the anniversary day when Lord Ashoka converted himself to Buddhism. Jains celebrate it as a day when last Tirthankara Mahavira attained nirvana (Spiritual Liberation). Sikh celebrate this day as a day of liberation when Guru Hargobind got released from Gwalior prison.  We can learn so many things from this festivals. some are here below.

Remove Darkness inside out

The real meaning of removing darkness is to remove darkness everywhere. We light up diyas. We decorate our houses with lights and lamps. We should also remove darkness from our soul. We need to get wisdom and need to revive and update our knowledge time to time. That is a reminder of this festival every year. This wisdom should not be confined to us only but to others as well. This outer light point to inner light that should lighten up with wisdom, joy and with inner peace.

Remove Negativity and be clean inside out

We clean our houses in and out during Diwali. We remove negativity from our house to welcome positive vibration and grace. We offer prayers to remove any obstacles from our life. Negativity does exist in form of bad habits, bad behaviour, bad words, jealousy, hate and anger also. We should remove that too.

Bring happiness and togetherness

This festival is a celebration of togetherness. We share joy, happiness and laughter with others in form of gifts, new cloths and with meeting and greeting with loved ones. It does not limited to our relatives, neighbours and friends, we also share our joy with less privileged people by gifting them and making them happy.

Develop inner virtues

The core purpose of any festival is to bring happiness among all as well as within. Divinity is the source of happiness. True happiness comes from Kindness and kindness is to make everyone happy around us. When we try to make everyone happy around us we enjoy the togetherness. Diwali signifies the victory of good over evil. We need to develop patience no matter what circumstances are no matter what time it take.  

Wishing you all happy prosperous and safe Diwali.

WALKING IN THE GREEN PARK IS A BOON FOR HEALTH

Image
Y esterday night I got chance to visit park in front of my home after a long time. I felt immensely glad to see the nature. This garden is completely different from others. It is full of lush greenery and there are a variety of trees and flowers. It has a beautiful walking track. It is one of the most attractive and well maintained parks nearby I must say. In the busy schedule I don’t have enough time to visit this park regularly but I realized that walking in nature was so enjoyable and exciting experience. I f you have options of walking on a treadmill, walking on the street or walking in a park, always choose the greener option. Recent scientific studies have shown that it yields greater benefits for the body and soul. It boosts your happiness level. I am looking for changes in routines that are healthy lifestyle behaviors. I feel it could be as simple as daily walk in the park. I  feel going through a green park would be much better for your mood than walking down t...

"I LOVE SPARROW" WORLD SPARROW DAY 20 MARCH 2025

आज गौरैया दिवस पर चित्र गूगल से लेना पड़ा। पहले पता होता तो कैमरे से बचपन में ही चित्र ले लेती।  इनकी संख्या इतनी कम हो रही है कि 20 मार्च को विश्व गौरैया दिवस मनाया जा रहा है। और इस वर्ष 2025 की थीम है " आई लव स्पैरो"।  एक समय था कि सभी की हलचल भरी दुनिया में यह चिड़िया सभी जगह मिलती थी। दिन की शुरुआत इसी की चहचहाट से होती थी।घर मे कटहल का पेड़ था और उस पर बहुत सारी गौरैया रहती थी।  क्या कारण है इनके लुप्त होने का और इनको संरक्षण देने का प्रयास करने का ? क्योंकि ये हमारी बायोडायवर्सिटी और पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र के लिए बहुत जरूरी है । इनके लुप्त होते ही यह क्रम टूट जाएगा और प्रकृति पर इसका सीधा प्रभाव पड़ेगा।  प्रदूषण, कटते जंगल, कीटनाशकों का अत्यधिक प्रयोग और हमारी जीवनशैली इनके विलुप्तीकरण के लिए उत्तरदायी है। पर बहुत से सामाजिक संगठन और व्यक्ति इनको बचाने के लिए प्रयासरत है इनमें से मैं हापुड़ की डॉ रेनू सिंह का नाम लेना चाहूंगी जिन्होंने अब तक 8000 घोसलों का वितरण किया है।   हम सभी भी व्यक्तिगत स्तर पर इस तरह का प्रयास कर सकते है और इन गौरैयों को विलुप्त होने से...
