A very well known global Indian festival of lights, sweets, crackers, is the typical description of the Diwaali / Deepaawali festivel......
As explained by sathguru ShreeChaaganTi gaaru,
"Tailay Lakshmee, Jalay Gangaa Deepaawali thidhou vasayth...."
Deepaawali is the only thidhi / day in an entire year, during which goddess ShreeLakshmi resides in the gingelly oil and goddess Gangaadevi resides in the water though no sankalpam is read by any one asking for the same.....
It is akin to the time during which the Urerigimpu Seva of Lord happens in the temples....For example, after the SahasraDeepaalankaraNa seva ShreeBhooSamayta ShreeMalayappa swaami vaaru would bless all the devotees present in the 4 main streets surrounding the main temple, known as (Maadaveedhulu), irrespective of whether one has bought a darshan ticket.....
(Lord Malayappa's darshanam in the Kalyaanotsawam, Arjita Brahmotsawam, Vasantothsawam daily sevas is limited to only those who purchase the requisite seva ticket. It is only during the evening's sahasra deepaalankaraNa seva, any and every given devotee present in the Tirumala temple premises can have a soulful darshanam of ShreeBhooSametaMalayappa swaamy vaaru for almost an hour right from the time lord's palanquin enters the SDSeva mandapam located on the SSE corner of the temple to the time he is carried around the temple for the Urerigimpu that concludes with the Kumbha/Nakshatra Haarati at the mighty ShreeSwaamiPushkarini after which he enters the main temple and calls it a day....)
Quite similarly, on the day of the Aashwayuja Amaavaasya, goddess Lakshmi makes gingelly oil as her abode and goddess Ganga makes all the water bodies as her abode during the '3 to 6 AM quarter' of the Deepaawali dawn irrespective of whether one prays them to do so......
Thus, as stated by the magnanimous ancient Indian scriptures,
"Alakshmee parihaaraardham tailaabhyangoa vidheeyatay....."
one who takes a head bath after applying the gingelly oil, is blessed with the ShreeLakshmee Kataaksham thus making it the most auspicious time of Deepaawali Lakshmi Pooja......
As explained by sathguru ShreeChaanganTi gaaru those who follow the above processes of applying gingelly oil and then having a head bath and then performing the Deepaawali deepaaraadhana during the 4.00 to 4.30 AM auspicious time, is blessed with great ShreeLakshmee anugraham....which isn't possible on any other day in a given year.....
And of-course the evening's Deepaawali Deepaaraadhana / crackers / fireworks / lights has its own significance in sustaining the ShreeLakshmi Anugraham....by imparting the blessings of the SandhyaaLakshmi.....
To those who make a mockery of all these traditional stuff / ancient stuff / culture / festivals / and so on and so forth going by the so called only modern life style....
Let me tell you what all is being lost by not embracing the mighty Indian traditional and ancient culture filled life style.....
1. By ignoring the temple visits, we are forgetting the coconuts / panchaamrutam / tulasee teertham / vibhooti / kumkuma(vermilion) / turmeric / camphor / pulihora / dadyoadanam (curd rice mixed with spices) / miriyaala pongali / jaggery / paramaannam / and so on and so forth which aren't typically used in our modern homes / lifestyle...
These are the best natural medines and energy boosters that play a vital role in reviving the physical and mental health from time to time......
English medicines / vitamin supplements have many side effects in the long run...
The latter are supposed to be considered when the former aren't helping much....
( For eg., Why should one take a lot of pills to get rid off the common cold and bother their kidneys a lot, when ginger/garlic/pepper intake can be had in various ways, along with a fewer english pills if required, to effectively cure the same in a short span of time thus avoiding the side effects of gulping in many english medicines...?.)
Optimum amounts of tartaric acid present in the tamarind when combined with other spices with medicinal properties used in the tamarind rice / pulihora is the best memory booster and energy provider known to the Indian life style since ancient times....
2. The meta physical aspect of the Sanskrit literature recited in the temples creates and sustains a dense positive aura around a given person present in the premises that helps him/her to remain mentally strong and active and also makes him/her a transmitter of such positive vibes....
3. When the amplitude of the Beta waves emitted by a human brain is strong enough to sustain the all obvious noise waves generated by the atmospheric entropy, it allows them to think above the all obvious mediocre realms and enhances the standards of their various executions that would inturn define their intellectual strata.....
4. Celebration of the various Indian festivals are always accompanied by a great spiritual and worldly message that would help the humanity at large to flourish with peace and prosperity....
5. Various medical studies reveal that during the on-set of winter season that typically starts from the Deepaawali time, all the cardiologists across the world get busy with many patients visiting them.....
The Indian science behind the Deepaawali festivel celebrations is about the gingelly oil usage to lit the array of lights / diyaas / deepams that is known to cure several heart related blockages via the good smoke emanated by a gingelly oil lamp in a completely safer and non-invasive way...It is indeed a wide scale aroma therapy that is known to directly affect the expansion and contraction of the cardio vascular system in resolving the blood vessel blockages....
It can be observed that all along the entire Kaarteeka maasam, this deepaaraadhana festivel is observed in the name of kaarteeka deepaaraadhana utsawam for the same reason.....
And also externally the Deepaawali time brings in the darkest nights of the year and thus a large scale lighting / deepaaraadhana will illumine the world along with our lives with the puNyam obtained from the ancient Deepaaraadhana sampradaayam.....
Along with the below mentioned generic deepaaraadhana shlokams,
దీపం జ్యోతి పరంబ్రహ్మ దీపం సర్వ తమోపహమ్
దీపేన సాధ్యతే సర్వం దీప లక్ష్మీ ర్నమోస్తుతే
సాజ్యం త్రివర్తి సంయుక్తం వహ్నినా యోజితం మయా
గృహాణ మంగళం దీపం త్రైలోక్య తిమిరాపహమ్
భక్త్యా దీపం ప్రయచ్ఛామి దేవాయ పరమాత్మనే
త్రాహిమాం నరకాత్ ఘోరాత్ దివ్య ర్జ్యోతి ర్నమోస్తుతే
a special kaarteeka deepaaraadhana shlokam " Keetaaha patangaaha....."
when recited during this kaarteeka maasa deepaaraadhana, is known to multiply the deepaaraadhana punyam by several times....
( I have attached the one blessed by sathguru Shree ChaaganTi gaaru in his mighty discourses...)
The modern stuff like Deepaawali special sweet box distributions, dry fruits' box distributions, crackers / fireworks, artificial lights, etc have made their way in the recent times as some festive add-ons to make the celebration more vibrant and joyous.....
Wishing one and all, in advance, a very happy Deepaawali 2022....😊🍨🍧💐🍦🎂🍕✨🎇🍓
