Significance of Divali and Indian Culture

India: Pristine ground of Spirituality

Namskar,

A place held tight to its ancient traditions embedded with fruits of its deep-rooted culture passed on through generations sentiment intact. Despite having witnessed or belonged to this society with innumerable traditions, we lack the understanding of the logical reason behind several rituals and customs and brand the superstition and meaningless.

We have shelved away many anecdotes passed on by our forefathers with years of increasing westernization. A lot of it because of sheer ignorance.

When we talk about Dipavali, and when we ask people about Dipavali, we gets these kind of answers:

•Because Bhagvan Shree Ram back to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile.

•Bhagvan Shree Krishn killed evil Narkasur and saved 16000 ladies.

•Vaman Avtar, he killed Bali.

•King Vikramaditya held Sinhasan on this day.

And so many ,these all are right but something is incomplete in it. Because the fundamental formula of indian Culture is 'Yat Bhramande, tat pinde'

That means What is in cosmos and the same is in human body.

Now, the question is, What kind of event occuring on this day, Despite Amavasya, we celebrate this festival in India?

Usually we consider No moon Inauspicious.But our major festival Dipavali comes on the day of No moon. Then What is Science behind it?

There must be some movement in cosmos on this day. That is why we celebrate Dipavali despite of Amavasya.

In Vedang Astrology the calculation of time is based on the speed and movement of Sun and Moon.

And as we all know that on the day of No Moon, Sun and Moon come together at zero degree (0°),

And on the day of Full Moon Sun and Moon goes opposite to each other at 180°(degree), and calculate time based on that.

Like every no moon Sun and Moon comes together on the day of Dipavali but they come together in a zodiac which creates balance in Libra zodiac sign (♎). The sign/symbol of Libra is balance.

If we see carefully and understand the scriptures, then we will get to know that the sun is debilated in Libra, but then sun is with the Moon at zero degree. We called Sun a 'Soul' and Moon a 'Mind'.

So the feminine energy of cosmos and the male energy of cosmos creates a kind of balance.

When this happens a wealth-generating opportunity comes.

That is why we celebrates Dipavali as a great festival.

Have you ever wondered why certain things are devised the way they are?

Why do we specifications to every ritual followed?

Earlier, when the literary rate in the country was much less than it is now, installing fear of God was the only way to put forth scientific ideas and practices involving logical reasoning. We have unfortunately forgotten the essence of such genius measures and brushed them away as superstition.

After all, isn't it our duty as the future generations to carry them forward?

The Power of Learning India’s youth hold immense potential. In fact, UNESCO reports that over 600 million Indians (nearly half the population) are under 25.

Courage, in My Quiet Moments

There’s a quote I keep coming back to, especially lately, by Mary Anne Radmacher: “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’” To be honest, I haven’t been in a place where I feel strong or fearless. Most days, I’m just moving through my responsibilities-doing a job I didn’t choose out of passion, but out of necessity. And some days, it feels like the weight of everything is too much. The dreams I had for myself feel paused or distant, and preparing for something better feels hard when I’m already stretched thin. But then there’s that small voice inside me - the one that shows up quietly when the day ends. It doesn’t roar. It doesn’t promise miracles. It just says, “Try again tomorrow.” That’s the courage I’m learning to hold onto. Not the loud, dramatic kind, but the steady, tired kind - the one that keeps showing up, even when nothing feels certain. So if you’re also in a place where you're just try...
