Diwali 2023: Life Lessons, Values Kids And Adults Can Learn From The Festival Of Lights To Brighten Their Day
In Hinduism, there is a tradition of lighting diyas (earthen lamps) on Diwali and this has an immense significance. It is not about only celebrating the festival by decorating the home with lights but also awakening the inner conscience, the light that guides us through the journey of life.
This year Diwali will be observed on 1 November 2023 and let us look at the life lessons and values that adults and children can learn from the festival of lights.
1.
Obedience
In
Ramayana,
when
Lord
Rama
was
sent
to
14
years
in
exile
to
the
forest,
he
didn't
even
flinch
or
question
his
father
Dasratha,
and
mother
Kaikeyi
(Rama's
stepmother).
Even
though
it
was
a
tough
life
that
no
one
desires,
Rama
didn't
bother
and
as
an
obedient
son,
he
kept
his
promise
to
Kaikeyi
intact.
Also,
he
embraced
the
hardships
and
inconveniences.
Kaikeyi's
love
for
Rama
changed
into
hatred
when
her
attendant
Manthara
became
her
toxic
confidante.
2.
Temptation
Nothing
is
equivalent
to
purity.
When
Ravana
was
abducted
by
Sita,
then
he
asked
Marich
(his
uncle)
to
lure
Sita,
who
was
pure-hearted.
She
got
so
fascinated
by
the
beauty
of
this
stag
that
he
asked
Rama
to
fetch
it
for
her.
This
is
the
time
when
he
went
to
get
the
stag
and
Ravan
abducted
Sita.
Therefore,
this
is
a
lesson
to
be
able
to
detect
and
analyze
the
things
that
tempt
us
and
may
or
may
not
be
good
for
us.
So,
trait
is
essential
when
we
make
decisions
in
life
as
it
can
save
us
from
disaster.
3.
Selflessness
The
character
of
Laxman,
who
is
a
warrior
par
brilliance,
Rama's
younger
brother
and
his
loyalist,
did
everything
for
Rama
and
didn't
expect
anything
in
return
in
Ramayana.
He
stayed
with
Rama
even
though
he
wasn't
bound
to
and
left
behind
all
the
royal
pleasures
of
life
for
14
straight
years.
Hence,
from
the
story,
we
can
learn
how
to
imbibe
the
traits
of
Laxman
into
our
lives
and
abstain
from
being
driven
by
selfish
motives.
4.
Equality
Lord
Rama
in
Ramayana
is
seen
as
a
believer
of
equality
and
he
was
the
one
who
treated
everyone
as
equal.
The
story
of
Shabari
speaks
volumes
on
this
trait
of
Lord
Rama.
Shabari
was
a
low-caste
old
lady
who
lived
in
the
forest.
She
was
an
ardent
devotee
of
Rama
and
when
she
heard
the
news
about
Rama's
arrival,
she
collected
a
lot
of
berries
to
feed
Rama.
To
check
the
quality
of
the
berries,
she
tasted
a
bit
of
all
of
them.
When
she
offered
these
berries
to
Rama,
he
ate
them
knowing
that
it
had
been
tasted
by
her
before
and
thanked
her
for
the
hospitality.
This
shows
for
a
strong
and
inclusive
society,
equality
is
essential.
