The Celebration Of Diwali

The Celebration Of Diwali. By Dr. Schavi Ali M. Ali

On Saturday, November 14, 2020, the celebration of DIWALI occurs. This Sanskrit term translates as “Festival of Lights”.

It is celebrated each year in the autumn (in late October or early November according to the Vedic calendar) as a time of praying for and meditating on both material and spiritual prosperity.

Sri Lakshmi, the feminine aspect of SOURCE which blesses us with abundance, is honored.

A “Puja” (“ceremony”) to Her is performed whereby the usual items involved are a flaming candle, incense, nuts and fruits, a prayer mala, and a small jar of sacred Chandana (Sandalwood) oil or a combination of fragrant flowery oils are on an altar.

Each item is individually encircled clock-wise around a statue or painting of Her three times at the third eye, then the heart, then the solar plexus, and the final encircling is done around the entire statue or painting four times.

A representation of an aspect of SOURCE is known as a “murti”.

Next, the devotee is comfortably seated, and with the prayer mala (which is usually of Lotus Seed, but it can also be Boddhi Seed or Sandalwood), the Lakshmi mantra is pronounced on each bead which is: “AUM SRI MAHA LAKSMAYA NAMAHA” (“Oh, Divine, I bow to the great giver of spiritual and material abundance”).

Then prayer is silently offered for specific needs. Afterwards, a brief time of meditation is done.

Finally, with the index finger of the right hand, the person performing this ritual places a bit of the sacred oil on his or her third eye in a clock-wise fashion.

This symbolizes receiving blessings from SOURCE in the form of Lakshmi.

Whenever an aspect of SOURCE is called upon, this is known as worshiping the Divine in “Saguna” (“with form”).

After this ritual, celebratory foods are eaten such as delicious nutritious vegetable dishes, rice, nuts, fruits, and fancy desserts.

People give gifts as well. DIWALI is celebrated by families and community groups.

Lakshmi

The Celebration Of Diwali

Homes and temples are colorfully decorated the day before DIWALI, and children often draw feet on a sheet of paper, cut them out, and place them at the front door of their houses symbolizing Lakshmi coming into the home. Small gold coins are also sometimes placed on the home altar.

Some people mistakenly refer to this ancient sacred time as the “Indian Christmas”. It has nothing to do with traditional Christmas celebrations, although it is certainly a time of honoring Divine energy and helping those in need and gifting others.

It is interesting and wonderful that all over the world there are certain celebrations especially meant for helping others and for remembering that we are blessed by the Divine intervention of SOURCE.

Sri Lakshmi is depicted in statues and in paintings dressed in a beautiful red or deep fuchsia dress decorated with golden threads.

She holds a vase that is pouring out with gold coins in Her right lower arm, and in Her other arms, She holds lovely pink lotus flowers.

In the Vedic tradition, aspects of the Divine are depicted with several arms because this represents SOURCE (which is most often referred to as the “Divine Mother” or as the “Divine Absolute”) reaching out ready to embrace and protect all creation.

Lakshmi is also surrounded by elephants with upraised trunks who spray Her with refreshing water.

Lakshmi has long flowing black hair, and Her skin is most often dark brown; but sometimes, it is given a deep pink hue. In the Vedic tradition, the color red represents love and passion, and the color pink is Divine Love.
This is why brides wear the color red or deep pink when a Vedic ceremony is performed.

DIWALI is not merely celebrated by those of the Asian ethnicity.

It can be celebrated by anyone who respects and understands the ancient Divinely-revealed spiritual principles of the Vedic path which is known in the scriptures as SANATANA DHARMA (“Eternal Path”).

Puja – Celebration

The Celebration Of Diwali

The word that most people are familiar with, “Hinduism”, is not Sanskrit and will not be found in the Vedic scriptures.

This term is from the Greek language and tends to be used because thousands of years ago, when the people who lived in the Indus-Kush Valley were discovered, they were called “Hindus”.

The word “Vedic” is from the Sanskrit phoneme root “Vid” which means “knowledge”; and thus, anyone can be “Vedic” who follows the path of SANATANA DHARMA.

He or she is not following the mistaken title “Hinduism”.

Yet, a person does not have to be an initiate of this path in order to perform its rituals or recite its mantras. It is a universal path.

However, those who are indeed initiates perform other types of additional rituals as well and have a specific type of lifestyle involving foods eaten or not eaten, daily activities, particular prayer times, etc.

The ancient name “Bharata” is the correct one for what most people know as “India”.

Recently, the people there voted to return to using their ancient name. Linguistically, “Bharata” translates as “Land of the Light of the Soul”.

Long long ago—many thousands of years ago—during a former “Golden Age”, the continents that we recognize today as “Africa” and “Asia” were one huge continental land mass known as “Alkebu-lan”.

Its Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and floods over many ages separated the land masses into what we identify with today.

The word “Pangea” is also used in terms of numerous land masses of Earth/Gaia being fused together. The phoneme “Pan” means “All”.

During DIWALI giving knowledge is also considered as giving a gift, and so books are excellent gifts to extend to others too.

The greeting on DIWALI is “JAI DIWALI!” which is “VICTORY TO DIWALI”. Therefore, we are saying: “Victory to the Festival of Lights!”

This year DIWALI (which will be done virtually in many cases) occurs on the same day that Mars moves direct ( Saturday, November 14th) in Tropical Zodiac Aries (New Starts, Leadership, New Ideas) and in Sidereal Zodiac Pisces (Spiritual Elevation) and also the day before the Super New Moon in Tropical Zodiac “Scorpio” (Transformation) and in Sidereal Zodiac Libra (Balance) on Sunday, November 15th.

Diwali Festival

The Celebration Of Diwali

We are going to have an auspicious weekend of cosmic energetics.

The vibrations of DIWALI as well as those of the cosmic events mentioned will not be just on the days that they occur.

Their energetics will continue throughout the final weeks of 2020 and well into 2021 as the human collective steadily focuses upon love, peace, health, and abundance for the entire planet and galaxy.

For those who will not be joining many of us in celebrating DIWALI, consider offering special prayers according to your path for blessings for Earth/Gaia.

Remember, we are actually “Galactic”. Other names for our varying ethnicities are only sociological terms for convenience in studying history’s time lines.

We are all from one Divine Parent—SOURCE!

We are siblings.

Major Kp Index Review For Escalated Frequencies – Dr Schavi

The KP INDEX registers activations to Earth/Gaia’s inner core and outer field (its geomagnetics) due to powerful solar energetics such as flares, winds, and coronal mass ejections (also known as “cosmic rays” and “plasma waves”)— all of which are sent via the pulsations from the “Great Central Sun”.

The Galactic Journey – Dr Schavi

Every aspect of creation has consciousness. Vibrational energy currents from our Sun flow to the planet and into us, and then we acclimate to them.

How Do I Love Thee – Let Me Count The Ways – Dr Schavi

During this current astounding transformative, evolutionary process which occurs approximately every 26,000 years as our galaxy soars through the Photon Belt, we as human beings are not merely having our physical structures furbished with the same material formations inside and out, nor are we having mental processes wired over with the same substances, nor are we having old emotional settings just repaired.

Forward Momentum – Dr Schavi

The New Moon of October 2021 has now arrived, and powerfully transforming Pluto is moving direct. Like a pot of water on a stove, worldly issues will heat-up as certain mandates are declared and as political, sociological, and economical challenges escalate. At the same time, however, increasing numbers of humanity will question, analyze, debate, and make firm decisions regarding how they will handle the chaotic circumstances. Some will follow the established protocols, but many will allow their Higher Selves to be the guiding LIGHTS of their lives, and it is this group that will be blessed with protection, courage, health, love, and abundance regardless of what conditions may “look like” from the “3d” perspective.

The Still Point – Dr Schavi

There is power in stillness. For example, when we pray and meditate, we are quiet and in attunement with THE DIVINE CREATOR—SOURCE. Our planetary home, Earth/Gaia, is often in reverent quietude as “She” makes connections to SOURCE FREQUENCY more powerfully. It is as if “She” too prays and meditates. The day prior to a New Moon is known as the “Dark of the Moon”, and Tuesday, October 5th, 2021, is such a day.

Code Word: Intensity! – Dr Schavi

The New Moon occurs on Wednesday, October 6, 2021, in the Tropical sign of Libra. Mercury is already in Libra (retrograde), and both the Sun and Mars are in Libra also. Pluto is in Capricorn and will move direct on the same day as the New Moon occurs. Libra squares Capricorn.

Riding The Waves Of The Final Months Of 2021 – Dr Schavi

The final three months of 2021 have begun. Seven planets are retrograde. Solar flares and winds range from mid-strength to high levels. Earth/Gaia’s vibrational frequencies and amplitudes soar up and down as cosmic energetics activate “Her” inner and outer fields. “Her” magnetite particles and ours dance in rhythm together.

Sankalpa For Re-Setting Time Lines – Dr Schavi

The Sanskrit term “Sankalpa” translates as “declaration” or “affirmation”. It is a firm announcement to the Higher Self—the Soul—the Divine-Within—that you are choosing to connect with sacred vibrational frequencies which are perfect energies of SOURCE with which we are originally born, but when years of dense frequencies have been experienced, challenging situations can occur that are often not of our own making due to disharmonious thoughts, feelings, and actions—but rather they are orchestrated by certain aspects of humanity who attempt to rival and to manipulate Nature which is the domain of SOURCE and should not be tampered with because there are consequences to pay when this is done.

Earth Human Reception And Transmission Process – Dr Schavi

MAGNETITE is an iron oxide mineral that is naturally found in the human brain and throughout the physical vessel. It serves as an anti-inflammatory agent, helps to soothe aches and pains, is a vitality booster, balances the right and left hemispheres of the brain, balances male and female hormones, is a conduit for advanced analytical thinking, and helps in the connection to spiritual revelatory experiences.
