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!
