“Festival of Light — on the Darkest Night”
Have you ever wondered why the Festival of Light, Diwali, is celebrated on the darkest night of the year — Amavasya? Beyond its religious story, it holds a profound cosmic and spiritual truth. The dark night of Amavasya reflects the very nature of this temporary world. When there is no Sun, no Moon, and only darkness outside, Nature is silently asking you to look within. There, you will find your own आत्म ज्योति — the inner light of awareness that never fades. Darkness doesn’t mean there is no light; it means we have forgotten who we truly are. That’s why our Rishis chose this night for deep Sadhna, because when the outer world turns dark, life compels us to seek the light within — and that’s where the real Diwali begins.

The return of Shri Ram to Ayodhya is not just a historical event; it is a metaphor of the soul (आत्मा) returning to its source, the Supreme Consciousness (परमात्मा). The sages encoded this story to remind us of the eternal dance between the Microcosm (human being) and the Macrocosm (the Universe). Whatever happens in the Cosmos also happens within us — the outer world is but a reflection of our inner state. When we clean our homes, decorate them, and light lamps, we are symbolically cleansing our inner space — purifying our thoughts, emotions, and intentions. The real purpose was to awaken the light of consciousness within, not merely to illuminate the walls of our house.

From an astrological perspective, Amavasya is when the Sun and the Moon — Surya (the Atma, soul) and Chandra (the Manas, mind) — meet at the same degree. This conjunction creates an Amavasya Dosh — a state where the mind loses its borrowed light and merges back into the source. Symbolically, this is the death of the ego. For an unaware being, this can bring confusion or heaviness; but for the seeker, this is the most powerful time for transcendence, when the illusion of separateness fades and the soul’s true light shines unimpeded.

Every festival, in truth, is a cosmic mirror. The planetary alignments and lunar phases are not mere celestial motions — they are reflections of our inner evolution. Diwali marks the sacred moment when the external darkness of the Cosmos invites the internal awakening of the Self. The Sun and Moon meeting in the sky is not a coincidence; it is a divine reminder that the union of Atma and Manas, Soul and Mind, leads to illumination.

When the world turns dark, life whispers — look within. The true Diwali begins not with firecrackers or decorations, but when you light the lamp of awareness in your heart. The diyas you light outside are only reflections of the one eternal flame within you — the flame that no darkness can ever extinguish. 🪔
Due to Debilitation of sun and moon with sun,our immunity remain very weak and many people become prone to black magic and bad energy around them,people who have afflicted moon and afflicted libra feels heavy and celebration encounter negativity.
So be careful and strengthen your mind with sadhna and meditation. For the wealth seeker its best day to start reciting the shri suktam.
Shubh deepawali 🪔
