Homes shine bright with clay lamps and design patterns called rangoli. The aroma of elaborate feasts permeates the air, and fireworks can be seen as they crackle during the day and night. Often the Diwali celebration takes place over five days to the delight of all its participants, young and old.
Diwali is a festival of lights. It is one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhists. The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes as a symbol of the inner light that can shine within each person and expel darkness. Is there more to this beautiful festival of lights that has somehow been forgotten through the years?
Sadhguru explains the significance behind the festival of Diwali, how it relates to a certain deity, and the position of the Earth in relation to the Sun.
