Ten mythical & historic reasons to celebrate Diwali
Oct 19, 2009 08:31 AM
ctd # The Enlightenment of Vardhamana Mahavira For Jains Diwali commemorates the enlightenment of Vardhamana Mahavira the twenty-fourth and last Tirthankaras of the Jains and the founder of modern Jainism . The festival also stands for the celebration of the emanicipation of human spirit from earthl...y desires I am not sure of the authenticity of these as it is from an email forward .As I found it interesting and informative sharing it here
# Special Day for the Sikhs It was on a Diwali day that the third Guru Amar Das institutionalized the festival of lights as an occasion when all Sikhs would gather to receive the Gurus blessings. It was also on a Diwali day in 1619 that their sixth religious leader Guru Hargobind Ji who was held by the Mughal Emperor Jahengir in the Gwalior fort, was freed from imprisonment. It was also on the same auspicious occasion of Diwali when the foundation stone of the Golden Temple at Amritsar was laid in 1577
# Goddess Kali also called Shyama Kali is the first of the 10 avatars or incarnations of Goddess Durga, the consort of Lord Shiva. According to legend when the gods lost in a battle with the demons Goddess Kali was born as Kal Bhoi Nashini from the forehead of Goddess Durga. Said to be a personification of Nari Shakti or female power. Kali was born to save heaven and earth from the growing cruelty of the demons. After killing all the devils Kali lost her control and started killing anyone who came her way which stopped only when Lord Shiva intervened. That momentous day has been commemorated ever since .
Almost every region of India has its own reason to observe the occasion. Whatever the cause behind its celebration, Diwali is undoubtedly a national festival of India and the aesthetic aspect of the festival is enjoyed by most Indians regardless of faithRead More

Hi- It would help if you clearly state what is the actual problem you faced with specific details than generalise as is done int he review. Specifics make is easier for us laymen to understand the issue and take a call .
