Every holiday has spiritual and behavioural meaning. The festival’s spiritual and cultural aspects and our own life lessons must be embraced to give our lives new wings. Diwali begins with Dhanteras, which symbolizes health, riches, and success. However, Diwali, the festival of lights, celebrates virtue over evil. They show the way to a happier, more purposeful life.
Life Lessons from the festival:
Self-Awareness is Key
One of the most important lessons from Dhanteras is infusing a state of self-awareness proactively in our day-to-day life journey. Humans can be believed to be comprised of 3 important layers i.e. Mind, Body and Soul. One should adopt a personalized and proactive self-care ritual which takes care of all these three layers holistically.
Dhanteras is definitely a good time to start a new personalized self-care ritual and this personalization can be achieved with the help of Astrology and numerology as this helps in understanding the Mind, Body and Soul layer of individuals.
Declutter Mind and Space Equally
The ritual of cleaning and adorning homes before Diwali stresses cleanliness and purity. This ritual is symbolic in nature and actually focuses on the fact that one should declutter the mind of self, soul cleaning accompaniedby decluttering the space where one lives in.
