When lord Rama returned to Ayodhya along with goddess Sita after defeating the wicked Ravana then the people of the kingdom lit diyas to welcome their lord and to celebrate the victory of good over evil. Since then the people of this great nation have been celebrating this festival of light with great enthusiasm.
Deepawali is not just about lighting the lamps, decorating our homes, playing with firecrackers and relishing sweets. Rather this is a festival to forget all rivalries, befriending others and celebrating the victory of good over evil with the warmth of togetherness. In today’s scenario when so many people around us a aggrieved with something or the other then it becomes a collective responsibility to alleviate their pain. How can we feel happy and contented when our brethren are dying with hunger, ailing with diseases, fighting misery and living in hopelessness? Happiness multiplies and sorrow lessens by sharing, so let’s promote sharing. There are multiple problems persisting in our society which have to be disposed forever.
Let us lit the kindle of love and brotherhood this diwali and spread the message of goodness everywhere. If we are celebrating this festivity lavishly then lets not forget the neighbour next door.
Its not so that we will lose something by sharing, one certainly gets immense pleasure by spreading happiness. The meaning of sharing has been modified in modern context. Today ‘sharing’ means sharing with those from whom we can draw benefit. The meaning of sharing can be truly realized only when extend our help to a person in real need or someone is crestfallen. The very essence of any festival is to keep the goodness alive. Lets make a sincere concerted effort to combat all evils and make this place a better place to live in.
