TITLE : DIWALI
Igniting hearts with love and kindling cheerfulness,
Glorious day to sojourn a victory in earnestness.
That darkness where Satan resides ,
Lamps envelope those superstitions ;
In an aglow.
Diwali illuminates several hearts with joy and prosperity,
Crackers burst and home embellishments raise vibes in a divinity.
The mythology still relates that old story,
Lord Ram’s arrival to Ayodhya is an awareness to glory.
Life ensembles in a purity and prosperity ,
Progress mellow with righteousness and faith.
The lamps aggrandize the efficacy of delight,
The brightness shone in purified minds under the moonlight.
Worshipping , garlanding deities spread a spiritual bliss,
Candles brighten the beautiful smiles.
Embracing humanity in each moment ,
Fulfilling wishes or decorating fervid fascinations.
Streets , houses , rooms or terrace ,
All enlighten and intensify the precious moments.
Sweets and delicacies enthuse a charm ,
Festive spirit bestow an integrity which is phenomenon.
Poor or old , destitute , orphans and impoverished ,
Vivacity , bliss , donations restore,
their jubilations being astonished.
Goddess of prosperity enshrined and coronated,
Prayers , invitations , new attires augment to an oblivion.
Diwali instils love for each other,
Festival of lights gleam,
And beautify with incandescent smiles.
Another Hindu festival Kali Puja ,
falls on the same day of Diwali.
Where Goddess Kali is worshipped,
with pomp and ardour .
The divine deity is garlanded with skulls of demons ,
As the Hindu mythology redeem.
Goddess Kali emerged from the forehead of Goddess Durga ,
While she was battling with the demon Raktabija.
On Amabasya midnight as the calender indicates ,
Goddess Kali is worshipped with complete faith.
