Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Sikhs celebrate it as Guru Nanak got enlightenment this day Most hindus believe that Lord Rama came back to his home after killing Ravan on this day...hence his countrymen lit the lights and used firewords to welcome him... though this is half true Shri Rama deliberately chose this day to come back. diwali was celebrated even before that Diwali is a Tantrik festival....Mother dhumavati (10th Mahavidya) rules the earth from July till Diwali day...because Jyesthha Nakshatra rises during this time, which is abode of Dhumavati.... Earth gets negative energy from Jyesthha nakshatra which sets on the eve of Diwali....when we celebrate Narak chaturdashi Next day Laxmi's energy set in...because she is younger sister of Dhumavati and she comes only when Dhumavati is gone Thus to welcome Laxmi (Kamla-the 10th Mahavidya)...and to ward of Negativity..our rishis told people to light the house and use firewords...notionally defeating the negative energy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Interesting Babaji. This makes sense, as the time before Diwali(3-4 months) is considered unlucky, and no marriages take place, no new businesses are started etc. If you look at past few years, most of disasters happened in Dhumavatis time- The hurricanes in US, East Asia etc. Earthquakes in India. Kargil war, Bosnia also started this time. For past few months situation in Iraw Afganistan has gotten worse. So much for scientists view that stars have no effect on us!
