Diwali- Importance of Different Days

Diwali is celebrated with great joy for 4-5 days in India.Eacy day has certain importande. Mataji Nirmaladevi has described it in one of her lectures. For the information of all seekers i produce below the extract of Diwali Message given by Mataji in 1983 at London.

1. The First day is thirteenth day. "Dhanatrayodashi"- the day on which Laxmi was born from the Sea. Laxmi is Godess which gives wealth- material and spiritual also. The laxmi born in the form of Gruhalaxmi- so this is the day in honour of Gruhalaxmi. Some sort of utensils are presented her as gift. She also has to be worthy of it. She must take care of everybody in her own house in all respect, then only she is real gruhalaxmi.

2.Second day is fourteenth day- Narakchaturdashi- On this day Narakasur was killed. All his followers were sent to hell. So all asura, rakshas were killed on this day.

3. Fifteenth Day- the darkest night- so all negative forces can come in your house. To avoid it, to debar them from entering we have to put on lights. That is why you will find everywhere lights and lights of different colours, shapes, mediums etc. Due to light negative elements will never enter- they never enter openly.

On this day Puja of Laxmi is done. Laxmi is worshiped from the bottom of th e heart. She is diety of wealth.

4.Then comes the first day of Kartik month. That is new year day of Shalivahan. Mataji Nirmaladevi is from Shalivahan dinesty. It is celebrated as new year day who accept shalivahan rule.

5. Then second day of Kartik month- Bij- Bhau Bij- It is the day of love and affection between brother and sister. On this day sister does arti of brother, puts on tika on his forehead and brother presents her something as a token of love and affection towards her. It is the meeting of two branches of the same tree.

Diwali has a great significane. It is the celebration of light. One light or lamp has to capacity to enlighten others, so in this way everyone is enlightened. Light breaks the darkness - darkness of every kind within and around us.

Mataji has said that -

So this is the fifth day is Dwija. So from thirteenth, to the fifth day they celebrate Diwali. For us Diwali has a very great significance that is, from one light many lights are awakened and they are put in a line, so they are called as Diwali - means ‘the lights put in a line’. So when you hold My Hands together all of us, through that, the energy passes and the enlightened rasa is established, and the whole world has to become, that beautiful [rain or reign], of your Mother where, nothing but the bliss of your Father, and His enjoyment, when He sees, His Own Creation dancing, in that Ocean of Bliss.
