So, here it is, Deepavali has arrived.  Welcome all !

Deepavali is festival of lights. 

It is celebration of the victory of light over darkness. 

In Upanishada, the prayer is universally  famous -

• Om Asatoma Sadgamaya 
• Tamso Ma Jyotirgamaya 
• Mrutyorma Amrutam Gamay
• Om Peace, Peace and Peace ! 

meaning 

• Oh God, lead me from ignorance to the truth
• from the darkness lead to me to the light
• from death to immortality
• Om Peace, Peace and Peace !

 The darkness here is a symbol for all  negative forces in human life - 

• poverty 
• ignorance 
• violence 
• hatred 
• cruelty 
• injustice 
• amorality 
• greed 
• lust 
• exploitation of the weaker, and so on. 

This is equally applicable to the darkness within human mind.  

And the light here is a symbol for all positive forces in human life -

• Prosperity
• Truth
• Non-violence
• Love and compassion
• Kindness
• Justice
• Morality
• Moderation
• Contentment
• Development

With the exact feelings and the spirit  expressed above, let us welcome Deepavali !
