Vishwaguruji about Diwali

“Deepavali” literally means a series of oil lamps (diyas).
Divali is celebrated on the 20th day after the festival of Dasera, according to the lunar calendar, on the 13th day of the month of Asvin (October-November). It is the day of Amavasya – new moon day.

During Dasera, Lord Rama defeated and killed the great rakshasa Ravana. Ravana kidnapped Rama’s loving wife Sita and took her away with him on the island of Lanka. Together with his brother Lakshman, his big brother Hanuman and his army, after a ten days battle, Rama saved Sita and brought her back to his capital Ayodya. Lord Rama, the incarnation of Vishnu in Treta Yuga, thus victoriously returned to Ayodya after 14 years of being in exile. The citizens of Ayodya garnished the city with flower malas, spread flower petals across the streets and decorated their houses and lit oil lamps to illuminate them. That was a big celebration. Since that day people celebrate Divali in honour of Rama’s victory, the victory of good over evil, the day when oil lamps are lit in all houses and temples (small earthen vessels – diyas).
