Why Is Diwali Celebrated? 

Gurudev Shrie Kashyap emphasizes that Diwali, rooted in mythological tales and Vedic knowledge, transcends being only a competition. Its origin is traced again to the joyous return of Lord Rama and Sita to Ayodhya, marked by folks lighting diyas alongside their path. This celebration symbolizes the triumph of fine over evil, gentle over darkness, and imparts a profound lesson on conquering ego and pleasure to find internal gentle amid the darkness.
