Diwali – Dil Se!!
As the radiant festival of Diwali lights up homes and hearts across the globe, I, Ruchi Garg, extend my warmest wishes to each one of you. Whether you are celebrating in the vibrant lanes of India, the serene landscapes of Ireland, the bustling cities of China, the spirited neighbourhoods of the USA, the charming corners of the UK, or the futuristic skyline of Singapore. Thank you for your unwavering love, support, and belief in my journey. Your kindness fuels my purpose, and your encouragement makes every word I write more meaningful. From my heart to yours-“Happy Diwali!”
What Diwali Truly means
Diwali, the festival of lights, is more than just a celebration. It is a soulful reminder of the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and wisdom over ignorance. Rooted in ancient traditions, it teaches us the virtues of truth, compassion, humility, and gratitude. It reminds us of our rights to live with dignity, to celebrate with joy, and to uplift one another. Whether it is Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya or Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings of prosperity, Diwali whispers a timeless message: “Light lives within us, and it’s meant to be shared”.
Let this Diwali be full of Love and Light
Let this Diwali be a tapestry of beautiful memories, heartfelt laughter, and lights that sparkle with happiness. May your homes glow with warmth, your hearts overflow with kindness, and your lives be filled with purpose and peace. Let every diya you light be a prayer for joy, unity, and healing.
Let this be a Diwali –Dil Se (From the Heart)
- Help everyone around you: Share your light, be it through a smile, a meal, or a kind word. Make Diwali bright for those who need it most.
- Celebrate with care for Mother Earth: Choose eco-friendly decor, avoid loud crackers, and honor the natural beauty that surrounds us.
- Respect every creature’s space: Be mindful of pets and street animals, let your celebrations be gentle and inclusive.
- Honor every woman: Celebrate the strength, grace, and wisdom of the women around you. Let respect be your brightest light.
- Include children in meaningful ways: Teach them the values of sharing, gratitude, and mindful celebration.
- Forgive and reconnect: Let go of grudges. Reach out to someone you have drifted from. Diwali is the perfect time to heal.
- Celebrate diversity: Whether it is different customs, languages, or beliefs, embrace the richness of every tradition.
- Pause and reflect: Amidst the festivities, take a moment to sit with yourself. Light a diya within of clarity, peace, and intention.
- Give with joy: Whether it is sweets, clothes, or time, give not out of obligation, but from the heart.
- Make your home a heaven: Clean not just the corners, but the energy. Let your space radiate positivity and welcome.
This Diwali, let’s not just light lamps, let’s light lives. Let’s not just celebrate, let’s elevate. Let’s make it a “Diwali… Dil Se”.
