21 Oct 2025 – The meaning of Dipavali – India

The festival of lights is here ✨We light lamps every Diwali, but Srila Gurudev reminds us — what is the real meaning of this light?“Tamso Ma Jyotirgamaya — may we move from darkness to light.”But this darkness is not outside us — it lives in the heart as lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride, and envy.The real Diwali begins when that inner darkness is dispelled by the light of Sri Guru’s lotus feet.Guru nishtha — firm faith and devotion to one’s Guru — is the backbone of spiritual life.On this sacred day, may the causeless mercy of Srila Gurudev Srimad Bhaktivedanta Vana Gosvami Maharaja Ji guide us toward that eternal light. May Sri Giriraj Govardhan bless us all with pure devotion, simplicity, and love that never fades.Wishing you and your family a truly divine and heart-filled Diwali.Hare Krishna 🙏 Happy Diwali 🪔
