Diwali is known as the celebration of lights and the triumph of good over evil – but what is the origin of this colorful Hindu celebration? Who are Rama, Sita, King Dashratha, Hanuman, and the ten-headed demon King Ravana? Why are homes cleaned, illuminated with diyas, and windows opened to welcome the goddess Lakshmi?

This video tells the story of Ramayana, introduces some of the most popular traditions involved in this celebration such as rangoli, and explains how the festival occurs during the holiest month on the Hindu calendar – Kartik.

    Diwali is not just stories it has something very deep mysterious and powerful reason. The night of diwali is used by many occults to attract materialistic stuffs and powers, this day has the immense power to convert thoughts into reality, that too for enternal life. It's not just about victory of good over evil, this day is the most powerful portal to connect with the most divine power of universe 'shri' How to use this day perfectly - Seat down for meditation, meditate as much as you can, think about the positive stuffs, honour the energies whitch which you feel connection, light the lamp 🪔 spread light and try to stay in higher vibration.

    For Korean viewers: 이 비디오 2:55 에서 한국어 번역 오류가 있는 것 같네요.. 사슴(deer)에 불붙이는거 아니고.. Diyas 가 램프라고 하네요 ^^ diyas=lamps
  • This didn’t really do a good job explaining. Why did Ram get banished? It actually was his step mothers fault since she wanted her son to be king. This leaves out major details that are important to the entire story. When making a video about culture, put all the information please.

    As it is Yom Kippur today. It´s a good day to start the fast, that can stop at Diwali in 18 days. I celebrated the Maa Kali version last year, like is done by the West-Bengals. It´s slightly different ans also beautiful, but I feel a bit more realistic, including the nasty things, to bring out the good.
