I had always heard that festivals are symbols of joy,symbols of happiness.
but I think more than that it is feeling o f peace,prosperity,love,kindness it is the only time when everyone in our society have get together,follow rituals and the most interesting part is the broken relationships,friendships & every other relations get adhere together.
friends i always thought that festivals means only having holidays and enjoying it but today i came to know that every festival has its own story like Christmas for birth of lord Christ,
Diwali for returning of lord Rama and goddess Sita.




on the occassion of DEEPAVALI I wish everyone HAPPY DEEPAVALI and may this diwali bring prosperity,Elation,peace in your life!!!!

FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
                           (DEEPAVALI)    
    
May countless lights  
Show delightful sights.
May there be no threat of violence,
No clouds of smoke,
No smell of sulphur,  
No sound of gunfire,
No scenes of ruined homes,
No sorrow that dims the light
In anyone's eyes,
May the light of knowledge and wisdom
Illumine the path to happiness.
May the light of joy and love
Sparkle in everyone's eyes
In every humble home.
May our fervent prayer
Lead mankind from darkness to Light.
May all nations together strive
To pave the way to harmony and peace.

Deepavali

Kind  Lord, this Diwali, dispel may You, all the darkness.
May go away, all small or big dreaded sickness.
And diminish may, all our physical, mental n emotional weakness.

Also vow I, Chinese products, I will try n ban.
Earthen Diyas use as many as I possibly can.
Ban crackers I will;  pollution they create; harming beast n man.

Umpteen delicacies made will be, some in Syrup, some dry.
Sweets n salty savories, to share with the needy, I will try.
This a smile can bring on their faces, n prevent their hungry-cry.

Distribute I will pencils n books, to education spread.
It is as important as distributing bread.
To think of an uneducated India, I actually dread.

Festival of Lights

This auspicious occasion
of Festival of Lights, we
joyously call, Deepavali,
celebrations abound,
lamps lit all around,
I make this plea -

If only for a day,
or just for a meal,
lets uplift the hearts
and lighten the load,
of the less fortunate -

Let's bring new clothes, toys,
Savories and sweets,
for a precious smile of hope,
in those anxious young eyes -

And above all, a little humility,
to those that are blessed, and
I pray, continue with their good fortune -

On this auspicious day, we
so joyously celebrate, as Dewali

— The End —
