Deepawali Awakening Inner Light with Vedic Teachings

Image
The festival of lights Deepawali is a symbol of light over darkness, a call to us to light an inner light with ancient wisdom. It is a festive celebration that is full of diyas and happiness based on the Vedic heritage to encourage self-awareness and spiritual development and thus, a time of renewal and reflection. The Symbolism of Light in Deepawali Deepawali is viewed as the symbolism of inner light as external light is used to depict the emergence of ignorance. The festival is based on Vedic philosophy which promotes mind-cleaning and welcoming of positivity. Families light lamps to pay their respects to deities, conduct rituals, and have sweets, all without forgetting about the deeper truth of life.

प्रेम मंदिर की पहली झलक( जगद्गुरु श्री कृपालु जी महाराज)

Image
  जब हम वृन्दावन पहुंचे, तो माहौल कुछ अलग ही था। हर तरफ राधे-राधे के झंडे लगे थे, लोग भजन गा रहे थे और मंदिरों से आरती की आवाज आ रही थी। वहां पहुंचकर हम एक होटल में रुके जहां हमने दोपहर का खाना खाया और थोड़ी देर आराम किया।   शाम को लगभग 5 बजे हम सब   प्रेम मंदिर  के दर्शन के लिए होटल से निकले। जैसे ही मैंने प्रेम मंदिर की पहली झलक देखी, मैं तो सरप्राइज रह गया। यह मंदिर तो मेरी कल्पना से काफी बड़ा था। बिल्कुल सफेद संगमरमर से बना मंदिर किसी महल जैसा लग रहा था! ढलते सूरज की रोशनी पड़ने से मंदिर और चमक रहा था। इतनी सफाई और सुंदरता मैंने और किसी मंदिर में नहीं देखी थी। तब मुझे लगा कि शायद ये ट्रिप उतना बोरिंग नहीं होने वाला!  आगे पढ़े

At the time, society was engulfed by misconceptions and fallacies, creating widespread confusion about the scriptures and Vedas. Recognizing this spiritual crisis, the era's preeminent scholars resolved to designate a divine personality -- someone who had mastered all the scriptures and Vedic knowledge -- as Jagadguru. This individual would guide humanity out of doubt and lead them steadfastly on the path to God. READ MORE
