Why Do We Light a Diya? – The Light of Diwali

HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji shares that this Diwali, let us not only light lamps around us but also become a lamp ourselves – one that dispels not just the darkness in our homes, but the darkness within our hearts. Let the light of love, compassion, and faith shine through us, illuminating the lives of others. When every heart glows with this inner light, it will be the true, divine Diwali – a celebration of inner awakening and the spirit of Swadeshi (living with self-reliance, simplicity, and love for locally made and sustainable diyas that honor our culture and environment).
