    Diwali is known as the celebration of lights and the triumph of good over evil - but what is the origin of this colorful Hindu celebration? Who are Rama, Sita, King Dashratha, Hanuman, and the ten-headed demon King Ravana? Why are homes cleaned, illuminated with diyas, and windows opened to welcome the goddess Lakshmi?
    This video tells the story of Ramayana, introduces some of the most popular traditions involved in this celebration such as rangoli, and explains how the festival occurs during the holiest month on the Hindu calendar - Kartik.

    We don't have to worship the same, but we should all show respect to each other.

      With all respect, Hinduism is not the truth. Please turn away from idol worship. This only invites demons into your life. Humans are appointed one life to live, then the judgement. There is no reincarnation. There is only one God. His nature is trinitarian (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). He is a holy God, and demands holiness from us. We are all sinners and have fallen short, and none of our good deeds will earn us eternal life with God. Fortunately, God sent his only Son, Jesus, to die on a cross as a payment for our sins. This is the love of God towards us. All we have to do is repent of our sins and trust in Jesus alone. When we do this, The Holy Spirit comes to live within us. It’s a free gift open to all. Jesus said he is The way, The truth, and The Life. He came to give life, and life in abundance. Look into it.

    Diwali is not just stories it has something very deep mysterious and powerful reason. The night of diwali is used by many occults to attract materialistic stuffs and powers, this day has the immense power to convert thoughts into reality, that too for enternal life.
    It's not just about victory of good over evil, this day is the most powerful portal to connect with the most divine power of universe 'shri'
    How to use this day perfectly -
    Seat down for meditation, meditate as much as you can, think about the positive stuffs, honour the energies whitch which you feel connection, light the lamp 🪔 spread light and try to stay in higher vibration.

      Hindu gods are like a medicine shelf. Many gods for different situations, but none of them are sufficient enough to do it all. What Tarun is suggesting invites the demonic into your life. Rather, read the psalms and meditate on the one true God.

    As it is Yom Kippur today. It´s a good day to start the fast, that can stop at Diwali in 18 days. I celebrated the Maa Kali version last year, like is done by the West-Bengals. It´s slightly different ans also beautiful, but I feel a bit more realistic, including the nasty things, to bring out the good.

    WHAT IS HINDUISM? By Francois Gautier. Diversity in Divinity , Universal in Spirituality. Unity in Humanity
    1) Believe in God ! - Aastik - Accepted
    2) Don't believe in God ! - You're accepted as Nastik
    3) You want to worship idols - please go ahead. You are a murti pujak.
    4) You dont want to worship idols - no problem. You can focus on Nirguna Brahman.
    5) You want to criticise something in our religion. Come forward. We are logical. Nyaya, Tarka etc. are core Hindu schools.
    6) You want to accept beliefs as it is. Most welcome. Please go ahead with it.
    7) You want to start your journey by reading Bhagvad Gita - Sure !
    8) You want to start your journey by reading Upanishads - Go ahead. 9) You want to start your journey by reading Purana - Be my guest.
    10) You just don't like reading Puranas or other books. No problem my dear. Go by Bhakti tradition . ( bhakti- devotion)
    11) You don't like idea of Bhakti ! No problem. Do your Karma. Be a karmayogi.
    12) You want to enjoy life. Very good. No problem at all. This is Charvaka Philosophy.
    13) You want to abstain from all the enjoyment of life & find God - jai ho ! Be a Sadhu, an ascetic !
    14) You don't like the concept of God. You believe in Nature only - Welcome. (Trees are our friends and Prakriti or nature is worthy of worship).
    15) You believe in one God or Supreme Energy. Superb! Follow Advaita philosophy
    16) You want a Guru. Go ahead. Receive gyaan.
    17) You don't want a Guru.. Help yourself ! Meditate, Study !
    18) You believe in Female energy ! Shakti is worshipped.
    19) You believe that every human being is equal. Yeah! You're awesome, come on let's celebrate Hinduism! "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (the world is a family)
    20) You don't have time to celebrate the festival. Don't worry. One more festival is coming! There are multiple festivals every single day of the year.
    21) You are a working person. Don't have time for religion. Its okay. You will still be a Hindu.
    22) You like to go to temples. Devotion is loved.
    23) You don't like to go to temples - no problem. You are still a Hindu!
    24) You know that Hinduism is a way of life, with considerable freedom.
    25) You believe that everything has God in it. So you worship your mother, father, guru, tree, River, Prani-matra, Earth, Universe!
    26) And If you don't believe that everything has GOD in it - No problems. Respect your viewpoint.
    27) "Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu " (May you all live happily) You represent this! You're free to choose, my dear Hindu! This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time in spite of repeated onslaughts both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!!
    There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell " Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah" Let the knowledge come to us from every direction.
    prepare yourself to understand and know what is worthy of uptake and what is not.
