Dear Friends,
Dewali
or Depaavali is the greatest, brightest and most popular Hindu festival
celebrated every year in autumn. We all celebrate this festival for joy,
happiness and prosperity. This festival starts with cleaning, renovation and
paints of home and end with lighting of Diyas (Lamps and Candles) and pooja of
Laxmi ji (Goddess of Wealth), distribution of sweets, gifts and receiving the
blessing from elders and parents for the same. But from the last two decades
one very bad thing has become a part of our Dewali i.e. crackers. From the last
two decades we start our dewali with burning of crackers which are poison for
our life and life of our next generation. We all know very well that how much
crackers are not only affecting our life but also the health of our nature
where we take breath.
We
not only hear or read the bad effects of crackers in media and news-papers but
sometimes we also see in front of our eyes. But this is our tendency we don’t feel
any bad effect till we didn’t realize it in our life or with our loved ones. On
the next morning of Dewali, we read news of ill effects of crackers like lost
of so many lives and burning of so many peoples and children because of ill
handling. Still we are unaware because this all was not happened with us or our
loved one. Few people say if these are not for burning then why these are in
the market. Burning of crackers is just like to strengthen the darkness in our
lives by increasing pollution, troubling the life of others like making them
deaf or burning sensation for life time. So this Dewali we all should do
something for making this dewali eco-friendly. If we are unable to avoid the
crackers because of wish of our child then we can reduce the time and amount or
burning. This will also help a lot. We all can understand good or bad for us.
So please don’t burn the crackers on the auspicious festival. Try to remove the
Ravan sitting in our hearts in the form of hate, cheating, racism, alcoholism,
domestic violence and spread love and peace in your minds. Try to understand
each other and their conditions and make life happy...............
“Dear
All With this hope you will do something in this regard Wishing you all a very
Happy and prosperous Dewali....”
