DEEPAWALI MEEASGE DOWNLOADED FROM THE INTERNET

[Guest guest]

Today is the festival of Lord Krishna. Deepavali

means the series of lights. Krishna Himself told in

Gita `Jnana Deepena' i.e., light means knowledge. In

other verses also, Swami told the same "Satvat

SanjayatePrakasa upa" i.e., Satvam (Good quality)

is light. Satvam means knowledge. So light is

knowledge. Gita also says "NA PAVAKAH" i.e., Sun,

Moon, and Fire cannot shine before Lord. Veda also

says the same "Kutoya magnih". This clearly

discourages the light in physical sense. Veda and

Gita are authorities. Other Sanskrit verses written

by blind Scholars are not authority. Anybody who

learnt Sanskrit can write a verse. Even "Charvaka",

the atheist wrote Sanskrit verses.

So, why are you burning the lights and crackers, which

cause pollution of environment leading to the green

house effect? Rains are not coming properly due to

this. By burning the lights, the ignorance – darkness

is increasing.

Life is the light and hunger is the fire as said in

Gita "Aham Vysvanaro". Give food to the beggars who

are unable to do work and let the life lights glow.

You are burning these lights for so many generations.

Did Lord appear or appreciated at any time directly to

any devotee? Lakshmi (Money) comes to you by your

sacrifice and not by these lights. These lights

benefit merchants only. `Adi Sankara' did this real

Deepavali. He lighted the ignorant people by

wandering throughout India. Lord was pleased by such

propagation of knowledge and appeared before him in

the cave of Himalaya. Sankara dissolved in the Lord

along with his body. Today you must remember the real

divine lights that propagated knowledge and devotion.

Such divine eternal lights are Sankara, Ramanuja,

Madhva, Rama Krishna Paramahamsa, Vivekananda, Ramana

Maharshi, Meera, Tyagaraja etc., Inspired by those

lights you should also become a light by participating

in the divine propagation of knowledge and devotion.

You are burning lot of oil and ghee today through

these lights. Oil and ghee are food. Veda says

`Annam Naparichaksheeta' i.e.; food should not be

destroyed. Food is also a form of Lakshmi (Dhanya

Lakshmi). You are burning Lakshmi (Goddess of

wealth). How can you get Lakshmi by this act?

Today is the victory of Satyabhama. Satyabhama was

the incarnation of Goddess Earth. Naraka was her son.

For the sake of Lord she fought with her son and

participated in the festival with joy, on this day

when the Lord killed her son. She has crossed the

bond of children before the love on God. Satyabhama

means real light. Rukmini is another light because

she ran away with the Lord opposing her parents and

brothers. Gopikas are the divine lights. They

crossed all the bonds for the sake of Lord. Radha

became mad for the Lord. She is the top most light as

the queen of the 15th uppermost world called `Goloka'.

There are six bonds representing the six whirlpools

(chakras). They are respectively the bonds with 1)

Mother 2) Father 3) Husband or wife 4) Children 5)

Fraud Gurus 6) Illusionary forms of the real God who

is only one. Out of these six bonds the central two

bonds are very strong. If these two are crossed they

can cross all the chakras. Gopikas danced with Lord

Krishna leaving their husbands in the Brindavanam

(Raasakeli). They gave butter (their stored money) to

Krishna without giving it even to their children.

Hence only Goloka in which Gopikas are living is

bright with the real lights called Gopikas. Radha is

the headlight. Hanuman is also equal to Radha. He

never did any work for himself. He participated in

the work of Lord only throughout his life. Such

sacrifice comes only due to madness on the Lord.

Radha exposed her madness. Hanuman controlled the

same madness because he has to do the service of the

Lord. Radha exposed whatever madness was hidden in

the heart of Hanuman for the sake of the public to

understand. If Hanuman exhibits that madness, the

work of the Lord is affected. Hanuman and Radha are

the two eyes of the Lord, which are the lights of all

the lights because any light can be seen only with the

eye. Hanuman is a devotee of Rama who was born in the

dynasty of Sun. Radha is a devotee of Krishna who was

born in the dynasty of Moon. It is said that Sun and

Moon are the two eyes of the Lord i.e., Hanuman and

Radha are the two eyes of the Lord. Krishna becomes

happy with such real lights.

Worship Satguru who is the incarnation of the God in

the human form. He comes down to light the ignorant

people in this world. You participate in His program

of propagation of the light of knowledge. You become

his servants and spread his divine knowledge. Then

each human being becomes a light of knowledge. All

the darkness of ignorance will vanish. This is the

real Deepavali by which the Lord becomes immensely

pleased with you. Christians are also burning the

candlelights on Christmas day in the same manner. But

what did Lord Jesus tell? He told `I am the light'

i.e., God is Light. Before that light, no other light

can shine. Because the Light of all these lights is

God. Veda says the same thing "Tasya Bhasa". He also

told `I am the path'. The light means knowledge as

per Gita and as per Veda also. Therefore this means

that the knowledge of Lord Jesus is the path. The

preaching of Lord Jesus i.e., the Holy Bible is the

path. The preaching of all the human incarnations of

God like Gita, Bible, and Quran are the different

lights and are one and the same i.e., the light only.

So all the Holy books of all the Religions are the

lights and paths. Since God is knowledge and God is

truth, Knowledge is truth. Veda says the same.

`Satyam, Jnanam'. Therefore participation of you in

His divine program to propagate the Holy Bible is the

real participation in the festival of candlelights.

God came down in human form as Jesus for this purpose.

Then only you have known the truth. This is the

meaning of Jesus telling ` I am the Truth'. This

means that Jesus who is the God in the human form is

the real form of God. Lord comes down in human form

in every human generation. He preaches the same that

was preached by the past human incarnations. Every

human generation should participate in the program of

the human form of God of that generation. Everybody

should participate in the propagation on every day and

so every day is `Deepavali'. Every human incarnation

is Lord Krishna. Every ignorant person getting rid of

ignorance i.e., darkness by the divine knowledge

propagated by you is a real light of Deepavali.
