It is the time when relatives come over and what people plan their year around. Since the beginning, Diwali has not been a festival celebrated over a day. It happens over five days, that fly by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting with Dhanteras, Naraka Chaturdasi, Lakshmi Puja, Govardhan Puja, and ending with Bhai Dooj, it is a festival that makes the entire country tremble with excitement. It is also a time when people make a lot of investments and purchases, from pottery to gold. This increased purchasing helps the poorest or neglected sections of society make some money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sujatasinghi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/veen\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sujatasinghi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/upcoming-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Spiritual Science of Life and Living\" class=\"wp-image-845\"\/><figcaption>Spiritual Science of Life and Living<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Let us see how important each day of Diwali is!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dhanteras:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Dhanteras\u2019 comes from two Sanskrit words, \u201cDhan\u201d and \u201cTeras,\u201d meaning \u201ccelebrating wealth on the 13<sup>th<\/sup> day of Kartika\u201d Dhanteras is also called Dhantrayodashi. It is a day when people worship Lord Kubera and Goddess Laxmi with the hopes of increasing their wealth and blessings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dhanteras was when Goddess Lakshmi and God Dhanvantari emerged from the ocean during \u2018Amrit-Manthan\u2019 showering wealth and healing. Dhanvantari Puja also happens on Dhanteras. Dhanvantari is an avatar of Lord Vishnu who has four arms \u2013 each holding a different item. He holds a conch, Sudarshan chakra, the nectar of eternity (Amrit), and medicines. Most people consider this an auspicious day to buy gold, silver, clothes, gadgets, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Naraka Chaturdasi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Naraka Chaturdasi celebrates Krishna defeating Narakasura. Naraka Chaturdasi is celebrated by waking up early and bathing with <em>ubatan<\/em> (ritualistic herbal scrubs). The oil and scrub bath does wonders for the skin during winters. People light lamps in the evening, marking the beginning of Chhoti Diwali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lakshmi Puja<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lakshmi Puja or Badi Diwali falls on Kartika Amavasya (new moon day). It is the third day of Diwali and is the most festive. The day starts with a Ganesha Puja followed by a puja for Goddess Lakshmi through rituals and pujas. Families come together and manifest Lakshmi\u2019s arrival with small rangolis and diyas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lakshmi Puja is also the day Ram returned to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana, and the citizens welcomed him by lighting his path home with earthen lamps. People still follow this ritual by placing lamps along the parapets of temples and houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Govardhan Puja<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Govardhan Puja is celebrated on the first day of Shukla Paksha to commemorate Lord Krishna\u2019s defeat of Indra in Mathura. Lord Indra decided to punish the citizens of Mathura by raining on them to the point of drowning. To protect the citizens, Krishna lifted the Govardhan mountain with his pinky to create a refuge. Govardhan Mountain has since become a sacred place, with the event being celebrated every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bhai Dooj<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last day of Diwali is Bhai Dooj. Bhai translates to \u201cbrother,\u201d and Dooj translates to \u201csecond day of Shukla Paksha.\u201d&nbsp; It is the day when brothers visit their married sisters if they are not in the same house after marriage and surprise them with gifts, and sweets are prepared and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters prepare an aarti tray with diyas, gold ring, kumkum tilak, and sweetmeats and do an aukshan praying for their brother to live a long life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About The Author: Dr. Sujata Singhi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sujatasinghi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/veen\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sujatasinghi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/c3a0e50c-fd81-4f14-b9a5-b70b03016684-4-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"Sujata Singhi\" class=\"wp-image-907\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sujatasinghi.com\/\">Sujata Singhi<\/a>, the international bestseller \u201cPower of Sound,\u201d has written a new book called \u201cReclaim your riches.\u201d With a doctorate in Sound Bowl Therapies, she is an international trainer of Sound therapies, a Motivational and Keynote speaker, a certified Life and Transformation Coach.
