DIWALI is a National Festival. Its a festival of Light, celebrated on the night of Kartik Amavasya, which is the darkest night of the year.This the day, according to our mythology, Ram with Sita and Laxman came back to Ayodhaya after defeating evil and egoist king Ravana and completing fourteen years of exile. In mythology and history there is many more stories which indicates that we celebrate deepawali on kartik Amavasya, to lit up the night with ghee ke diye, to mark up the occasion with happiness and festivity. It has symbolic importance as well. Its a victory of goodness over bad.It is not a religious matter, it is a matter of once faith and belief.

Programme started with our introduction by the Principal Mrs. Veena Verma. Then I introduced Aditi Foundation in short. I spoke on deepawali, its importance,Its scintific relevance. The Parampara, Sanskriti and Sanskara and the defination of Dharma in short. It was my simplified interpetation of the same. I try to clear it out why these traditions are important in our life. Whether birth of Ram and our other gods and deities has proof or not but it has simbolic social relevance. Its inspire us to become more humane, kind and helpful to others.Our culture and traditions inculcate good morale values in us and enrich our thinking, so that we work in right direction, to uplift our society and march towards equality and equal opportunities to all.
