The ritual about Depawali in Hindu culture has its own importance.It is said that after making victory on Lanka for freedom of consort Seeta when Rama returned to Ayodhya with Laxmana,the people of Ayodhya got pleasure and enjoyed with lightening the lamps.
But it is very amazing that all Hindus who have faith in Rama, worship on the Day of Deepawali Laxmi instead of Shri Rama.while festival is related to Rama !!
Laxmi is not with Visnu but Ganesha !! it is other surprising subject for us.Then we have to reconsider about the story.
We r not denying the historical events here but it has included some other mystical massages in its own style in Hinduism.
As in my previous blog on Dhanvantari ' Dhanvantari a views' showed that after churning of ocean, nectar comes out on thirteenth level of our inner conscious.The super consciousness is the treasure of all gems in inner life. Dhanvantari means Dhanu+Antari . Dhanu means a Bow.In our body bow like structure is Spinal cord,and between this both shore is a space in which all chakras r residing.which can be activated after getting a drop of Nectar from Higher realm.Evil and good thoughts are living together in Ego-mind.But after practicing, one goes on , approaching the Amrit. The juice of peace directly supplied towards Dhanvantri or between the boundary of spinal cord, it is why He is deity of Health.
Laxmi is also a gem which comes from that sea.So we have to see it in another way.
In our life all the power or energy is diverted in our outwards organs for worldly objects.
Likely our soul becomes that kind of energy and make identity with.So one can say that soul is under Dasanan or Ravana.Although see lives in Ashok Vatika but her freedom lost.
A spiritual Exercitant or Sadhak like Rama tries his best to make free the soul from sense organs or mentally fully desired state.So he first came to know that what is its nourishment center.So it is in the story that Ravana has in his naval the amrit kund by that reason he always immortal or continue to take enjoy in sense organs and desires.What is it, this is Manipur. The city of ego mind.It is symbolized here by name.
The practitioner make target on it by supporting vibhishan(hardly).The Ravana becomes mortal and Seeta feels free.
The result is, he established him self in Devpuri.(Ayodhya).The divinity comes out and two events take place.He reached at Hirnyamaya ( Golden or Laxmi or kingdom) and secondly the existence of self(hasti).
It is very interesting that in Sanskrit a word for this is used ' Hasti.'
This word Hasti is synonyms to Hathi or Elephant .Related to Ganesha.I tried to disclose its meaning in my blog ' Jai Ganesh Deva' .
On this occasion of Depavali why Hindus focus on Laxmi with Ganesha we can understand why both r worshiped this day.
Terrible Darkness like amavasya indicated that the beginning of the spiritual path for realization, can be resolved or enlightened.
We can see lightening lamps on this festival of Depawali.
