The Festival of Light ‘deewali'
The Festival of Light ‘Deewali’
We are celebrating Deewali,
A festival when we light- up many many lights.
Light is more important than life
As life without Light is no Life,
Lightening Deeps or a candle is only symbolic
Enlightening the mind and heart is the real gesture, we celebrate Deewali.
O light Sublime, enlighten my mind,
Under the feet of God, so that I can remain in peace and calm,
Enlighten my soul, so that I can feel the music of God,
Enlighten every human being poor or rich, healthy or sick,
Of any religion, in world’s any part,
As they, all are the children of God.
O graceful Goddess of Light, please fills your light in every human being,
And specially in the life of those, who are in absolute dark, or
In the life of those who are in distress and do not find a light
To console their weeping heart.
Spread your light, like the wings of sky,
Touch every particle, like the Sun touches the earth,
Touch every heart, which is in agonies and are crying,
Put your hands on us like the hands of God,
Wipe tears from every weeping eye, and
Spread your smiles on every face, O Goddess of Light.
