Happy Deepavali Sur [*] [*] [*]

As this post didn't have any photo, I have moved it to this section, hope you don't mind. Besides, here we all can discuss about Deepavali and other festivals.

Which year is about to start? Which name or number?

Regards,

Elena

Hi,

If you notice all the festivals are celebrated at the change of the seasons, like fall to spring and rainy season to winter.
The festival of lights - deepavali - is celebrated as the ' homecoming of Lord Rama after spending 14 years in forest and also destroying "Ravana', to welcome their King, Ayodhya is decorated with flowers and lights and people are in joyful mood, decorates their homes, and creates beutiful designs with colors out side their homes - which is known as rangoli or alpana -.
If you see the linear meaning : this is the victory over devil - as Ravana is a symbole of demon, and Lord Rama symbolises the truth and goodness of human being - thus this festival celebrates the victory over devil, which means we go towards light from the darkness.

hope i could manage to explain

with warm regards

I believe you did a wonderful job of expaining, but I think there is more to know about your way of living, such as the language. I will have to educate myself a little more at a time to really understand the real culture and meaning behind everything. I am doing that already, but it's definitly harder than originally thought. It will take time.
But thanks again for the info, it is very helpful and I will make a note of it.
