Diwali isn't the whole Ramayana story. It's when Rama returned to Ayodhya after he defeated Ravana. That's when the people of Ayodhya lit up the kingdom to lead him back and to celebrate his glorious victory.

After 12 yrs, she returned but the villagers did not believe she held onto her purity, so she extinguished herself leaving this world returning home.

[@dj7068]

KNOW ABOUT HINDUISM.... 1) if u Believe in God ! = Aastik - Accepted , 2) If u Don't believe in God ! = You're also Accepted as Nastik ( Atheist ) , NO ONE WILL KILL U OR TRY 2 HARM U. IF U NEVER BELIEVE IN GOD OR WORSHIP GOD. U HAVE ABSOLUTELY FREEDOM ONLY IN HINDUISM. Do ur Own Duty (Karma) for all Mankind & Humanity. 3) You want to worship idols = Accepted as a Murti Pujak ( idol worship ) 4) You don't want to worship idols = No Problem you can Focus on Nirguna Brahman. SOME OF US WORSHIPPING IDOLS AFTER RITUAL, FESTIVAL ENDS WE PUT THIS IDOLS ON THE RIVER OR DESOLVE THIS IDOLS. You Already see this on Ganesh Puja & Durga Puja. 5) You don't like the Concept of God & U believe in Nature Only = Welcome.(Trees are our Friends and Nature is Worthy of Worship, WE MUST SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT. THAT IS WHY WE HINDUS WORSHIPPING A RIVER AS A MOTHER.JUST TO PROTECT & RESPECT THIS HOLY RIVERS , BECAUSE OUR FOREFATHER ARE ALREADY KNOW THAT , NO WATER NO LIFE , WE HAVE VERY LESS USEABLE WATER IN THIS WORLD. & THAT IS WHY WE PLANTS A TREE JUST BEFORE ANY CONSTRUCTION WORK BEGINS & WE CELEBRATE THIS AS A FESTIVALS. 6) You believe in Female Energy = Durga,Laxmi , Sharaswati Maatru Shakti. Even in our Ancient Hindu Civilization Every Child is Known by her Mother's name Ex :- KUNTI PUTRA ARJUN ; DEVAKI NANDAN KRISHNA ; GANGA PUTRA BHISHMA ; ANJANI PUTRA HANUMAN. just think how WE HINDUS GIVE RESPECT TO THE WOMEN. 7) IF U DON'T HAVE TIME TO CELEBRATE THE FESTIVALS = Don't worry. One more Festival is Coming ! There are multiple Festivals every single day of this year. 8 ) You believe that every human being is Equal = Yeah ! Come on let's celebrate Hinduism ! "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (we believe in whole world is a our family) Respect our guest , treat them well , Cast is no barrier :- { Hindu-Sikh-Jain-Dalit-Bramhin-Khyatriya-Buddhist } We all are equal. Please be my guest._/\_ 9) If u think Cast system / Racism = THEN PLEASE GO 2 ANY ISKCON TEMPLE. YOU WILL GET BLACK , WHITE , BROWN PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH FREE FOOD ( Prasadam ) Food for All. Don't forget Apple Company Founder Steav Jobs also Visited Iskcon Temple to get Free Food during his bad days. 10) IF U R A WORKING PERSON & DON'T HAVE TIME 4 RELIGION ? = Its okay.No Problem. NO ONE WILL FORCE U TO DO PRAYER 5 TIMES IN A DAY. U CAN OFFER PRAYER ANYTIME ANYWHERE. U will still be a Hindu. 11) IF U DON'T LIKE 2 GO 2 THE TEMPLES ? = No Problem. DO UR PUJA OR PRAYER AT UR OWN HOME. NO ONE WILL FORCE U TO PRAY 5 TIMES IN A DAY OR GO TO THE TEMPLE EVERYDAY. BUT WHEN U GO 2 THE TEMPLE U WILL GET SOME SPIRITUAL POWER & BLESSINGS. U WILL GET SOME MORE CONFIDENCE WITHIN U , U will meet some New Peoples in Temples , u can talk with them discuss with them about any ideas , AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT WILL REDUCE UR LONELINESS. WHEN U LISTEN SOME MANTRAS BHAJAN KIRTAN WITH MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS U WILL DEFINITELY GET SOME PEACE OF MIND WITH BLESSINGS AT THIS TEMPLES. THAT WILL HEAL UR ANXIETY & TENSIONS. 12 ) if u want to start ur journey by reading ( Bhagvad Gita , Vedas , Upanished, Purana ) = Sure ! Go ahead. 13 ) You just don't like 2 reading our books = No Problem my dear. Go by Bhakti Yoga (devotion) tradition. Do some Bhajan Kirtans, Start Chanting some Mantras or Bhajans , Do some Normal Yoga Exercise & Pranayam , Take some Long Breathing & Start Meditation, It is good for ur Health , & this will improve ur Concentration Power. So that u can Focus more on your daily works. 14 ) You u don't like idea of Bhakti (devotion) ! = No Problem. Do your Karma ( Moral Duty ) = Be a KarmaYogi , Do ur best for all Mankind. If u are a Doctor then do ur work Properly , if u r a Police man do ur work Strictly , if u r a Student then Study Properly , if u r a Business man do ur Business without any Cheating. & MOST IMPORTANTLY ALWAYS GIVE RESPECT UR PARENTS , RESPECT UR TEACHERS & ELDERS , & WHEN U GET FREE TIME THEN TRY 2 HELP UR PARENTS ON THEIR DAILY WORKS. 15) if don't like all this & u want to Enjoy ur Life = No Problem at all. You're still Hindu. Our Dharma also Says do your first regular duty ,Fully ENJOY YOUR LIFE, & WHENEVER YOU GET FREE-TIME JUST REMEMBER THE GOD , THANKS THE GOD FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE. You know that Hinduism is a way of life, with considerable freedom. "Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu " = (May you all live happily. If you want to criticise something about Hindus = Come forward. We are very logical. But First of all read our Vedas , Upanished, Geeta , Ramayana , know about our Hindu philosophy Then Talk to us discuss with us , We definitely listing you. Let the knowledge come to us from every direction.
