Maharani Mamas

We are wrapping up the 5 day festival of light, dharma and delight. It is called Diwali/Deepawali.

Deepawali marks the establishment of dharma that allows the awakening of our highest potential. This festival celebrates the illumination of human being to the level of humanity and from humanity to divinity. It is a battle between our dark and bright tendencies, choices and inclinations. May the goodness, righteousness, virtue and light win the heaviness of darkness.

The festival lasts for 5 days where each day has a special symbolic meaning and rituals associated with it. The homes, work places, city, bazaars, temples are all decorated with lights and decorations. The festival brings the community together in the spirit of growth, prosperity, health and happiness.

Let us talk about what happens each day during these five days:
