On
Deepavali – On reviving the Rama within and killing Ravana within
This Deepavali, let’s
do lanka dahan the right way!
We see
“Raavan Dahan”. We go to attend “Ram leela” every year maybe too!
But, is
it just a drama that we are attending. Are we going to enjoy just the theatrics
of Ramleela?
Read
“ https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2022/10/deepavali-festival-of-lights-2022.htm” to revive Rama within.
We
enjoy killing Raavan. We enjoy burning the effigy of Raavan and think we are
“Good hindus”. But is it all there is to be a “good Hindu”? Raavan represents
the Asuric nature within every human born. It is not about a person. It is
about the quality of ‘an asura’. Now, do we have ‘asuras’ in present time?
So,
let’s visit the meaning of “asura” first. Asura is a quality that says a person
who is asuric in nature revels in harming others. He doesn’t think twice before
hurting and even killing children, women and old people. He derives sadistic
pleasure in the pain and suffering that he causes to his fellow human beings
and life in general. Sometimes, he has personal agenda, like in the case of
Raavan, it was his lust for women that he caused so much of pain to women folk
at large and also to their family members.

This week I was seeing my self in a different way.
1. My stamina increased
2. I always had a craving for sweets every time I used to feel I need to save them for tomorrow.
3. This week I have received a lot of sweets and I have shared all of them with the kids , sub staff, colleagues, security everyone. It was like celebrating diwali in true spirit. I did not eat one sweet but I felt very happy and contended.
4. I have done all the work that I kept postponing since one month.
5. My eating habits have changed
Great going kshijita..
Thank you swathi
