I would like to wish all Sikhs and Hindu's a very happy Diwali and a Rocking New Year from the bottom of my heart!!
Deepavali, Diwali or Divali is a major Indian festival as we all know, and a significant festival in Hinduism and Sikhism
In India, it is the homecoming of King Rama of Ayodhya after a 14-year exile in the forest. The people of Ayodhya (the capital of his kingdom) welcomed Rama by lighting rows (avali) of lamps (deepa), thus its name, Deepavali. This word, in due course, became Diwali in Hindi. But, in South Indian languages, the word did not undergo any change, and hence the festival is called Deepavali in southern India. Southern India marks it as the day Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura.
The Sikhs celebrate Diwali for a different reason; on this day, the Sixth Guru, Guru Hargobind Ji, was freed from imprisonment along with 52 Hindu Kings (political prisoners) whom he had arranged to be released as well. After his release he went to Darbar Sahib (golden temple) in the holy city of Amritsar. There, he was greeted by Sikhs and many other people. In happiness they lit candles and diyas to greet the Guru. In India, Diwali is now considered to be a national festival, and the aesthetic aspect of the festival is enjoyed by most Indians regardless of faith. Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji Ki Fateh!!!
So I hope everyone has a rocking time... and i hope each and every firework lights up our lives with happiness..God bless you all... And may the new year bring a new hope for each and everyone of you!!Anyway Guys itsss PARTYYYYYYY!!! time!!! 🥳D🥳I🥳W🥳A🥳L🥳I🥳
Lots of Love Simran x x x
