The real celebration of Deepavali is not in bursting crackers, eating sweets and watching movies; but in taking every effort in our limited capacity to bring about a positive change in the lives of the suffering and the needy. Service executed in the good of humanity termed charity, is precisely the substratum and crux of every activity as decreed by Sanathana Dharma. Deepavali is the day of celebrating one's own yearlong efforts of charity.

Incidentally, Deepavali is celebrated on the day of Amavasya - the new moon day. As decreed by the Sanathana Dharma, Amavasya is the day when one offers food to deceased ancestors every month in a year - the best form of charity that aims to bring solace to one's ancestors wherever they may be; in whatever form. Deepavali is the anniversary celebration of the efforts of charity of every human being within one's own limited capacity. Prudence is in celebrating this anniversary of charity by focusing our festive spending on efforts that benefit humanity.

Hail Deepavali!
