Diwali comes from the word Dipavali which has two words—Dipa meaning Light and Avali means Rows of Light/Carrier of Light. Therefore Dipa signifies ‘coming to light’. In Vedic culture, a lamp is lit to drive away inauspiciousness. It also means to come into knowledge from darkness. In Bhagavad-gita Chapter 10 Verse 11, Lord Krishna says—‘To show them (the devotees) special mercy, I with the shining lamp of knowledge, destroy the darkness born of ignorance.’ Diwali is celebrated for five days, each holding special importance through scriptural history. Day One is Dhanteras, dedicated to the worship of Lord Dhanvantari for good health. 2. 3. 4. Day Five is the festival of Bhai-duuj or a special festival commemorating the bond between brothers and sisters.
