The Diwali Pledge

Share This Post

1st November 2024

We traditionally do these six things during Diwali, which this time, if we do with complete understanding, nit only on Diwali day but the entire year around, would make our life more spiritual and meaningful.

As the confusion about Diwali day continues, let us take a pledge to celebrate and follow the traditions for the full year instead of just for a day.

  1. Cleaning of house – Let us keep our house & surroundings clean, but this time let us also clean our mind of all the accumulated dirt of kama, krodha, moha, mada, matsarya, and lobha!
  2. We buy/ bring in new things – Let us also give new things to the needy & become a true give. Let us also strive acquire true knowledge & wisdom apart from material things!
  3. We eat sweets – let us also share and sweeten other lives particularly of downtrodden & the needy.
  4. We light lamps- let us light the lamp of knowledge and awareness and spread the light in the universe.
  5. We do Laxmi Puja – this time let us pray not only for the furtherance of our material wealth but also for the furtherance of our  spiritual wealth! Let us pray not only for ourselves but also for our extended family & friends.
  6. We burst crackers – this time let us burst our ego instead. Let us take a pledge to say no to crackers and also let us strive to do our bit to make the world less polluted.

Let us spread Love & good cheer to all, not only on Diwali but the entire year around and make it a truly special year.

Be a light in this world, have a wonderful year & a Prosperous Samvat 2081 & Stay Blessed forever.
