After Diwali arathi event at our individual homes this morning (which we always do it first day of 2-day Diwali event), we all brothers and sister met at Ramesh Chintala​ and Ashwini Chintala​’s home for group arathi event (a ritual that has been there in our family for decades) but unable to do it every year.

However we made it this year, thanks to Initiative from Ramesh and Ashwini. We have concluded the event with a festive lunch.  Surprisingly none of adults and kids from the family were interested in fireworks, though Ramesh had purchased few items.  So, it was pretty green Diwali.

Happy Diwali to all our friends and families around all the time zones out there !!

Here is one of the nicest forwards from WhatsApp. Do read it and following the Gyan will make you looks ever blissful.

While we all light our houses , do spend some time today to light a few lamps inside u and sit in silence with ur eyes closed…

Light the first lamp inside u and let it burn your anger and / or jealousy that u may have for any one till date; see it melt away…

Light the second lamp and let it burn away unwanted greed and desires… feel happy and contented with what you have been blessed with.

Light the third lamp and let it fade away all insecurities that you may have in your mind related to anything or financials; just beleive that God has given u life and he will surely give you enough to survive.

Light the 4th lamp and carry that lamp to each part of ur body; let it burn away all your diseased cells or any disease in making. Feel healthy as this lamp travels to each body part and illuminates each organ.

The 5th lamp is a miniature of the Sun… nothing but the divine light… light it in the centre of your body and let it fill the warmth and love inside your whole body…feel one with the Divine… let the love and warmth filled inside you ooze out of you through your smile…eyes..speech…and body….carry this love with you through out the day…u will find that everyone who meets you is happy and elated. This is the biggest blessing that whoever meets you becomes happier after meeting you… this will also make you happier in return.

Light these 5 lamps each day morning and carry the positivity wherever u go…
