These days in India Diwali ‘the festival of Light’ is celebrated. It is the time of the year that coincides with the last harvest of fruits, before winter. Diwali is a very ancient Vedic tradition that honors the victory of good over evil, the light shines in the darkness and illuminates with consciousness that which is unconscious.
It is a celebration that invokes the energy of Shakti, Goddess Lakshmi. Lakshmi re-presents wealth, abundance and prosperity. Chanting to this Goddess, lighting a candle to invite the Light in our home, helps us to invite prosperity to accompany us in this vital moment.
