Deepavali Celebrations 2013
Ashram wishes you and your loved ones a very Happy Diwali
The following two verses explain the significance of Dipavali (the festival of lights):
The demon Naraka (ego) who rules hell, (has)
The notion ‘I am this body’,
‘Where is this demon?’ enquiring thus
With the discus of jnana, Narayana
Destroys the demon. And this day
Is Naraka-Chaturdasi.
Shining as the Self in glory
After slaying Naraka,
The sinner vile who suffered much
Because he deemed as “I” the wretched
Home of pains, the body of flesh —
this is the festival of light,
Dipavali.
(Translated by Prof. K. Swaminathan)

Quote from Bhagavan
The mind is a unique power (sakti) in the Atman whereby thoughts occur to one. On scrutiny as to what remains after eliminating all thoughts, it will be found that there is no such thing as mind apart from thought. So then, thoughts themselves constitute the mind.
