Above sloka depicts the significance of Deepa, +++
the one which is lit with Ghee/oil; having 3 wicks,
the radiance of which can enlighten the 3 worlds;
dispelling darkness; may this light offered to the supreme God; help/protect us from horrible darkness which is like hell (Naraka) & I offer my salutations to such divine light.+
Sree Sooktha describes Goddess Sri Maha Lakshmi as the divine light for the Universe .... "Lokaika Deepaankuraam....."🙏🙏🙏
Deepa means light; Aavali means row.
Deepa + Aavali = #Deepaavali means arranging of lights in rows in an orderly way. Lighting of oil lamp is incredibly auspicious. Whenever there is dark we generally switch on the light. Light dispels the darkness. +++
Deepavali is a festival that eliminates darkness and brings in light to our lives. Lighting lamp indicates eradication of our inner darkness that is ignorance and lighting of knowledge lamp (inner light) within us.
Lighting of oil lamps (Deepa) and giving Deepa Dana to Brahmana on Naraka Chaturdasi day will bestow relief to fore fathers suffering in Naraka Loka.
