Diwali Strengthens The Mind

Diwali is a festival to find the light within. You can get a boost to overcome the darkness of your life. We have to enlighten the lamps of understanding & wisdom. The light of our knowledge helps us to go on right path. Diwali gives us the strength to prove ourselves.

Here is a short story about a memorable Diwali.:::

I remember a Diwali Celebration when my father was in Sabarmati Jail under MISA during Emergency in 1977- 78.

Every year almost all villagers were coming to our home to wish "Happy Diwali" because our family was highly associated with them. My Father was a Political Leader, Social Worker, An Educationist & much

more for the people of Vadnagar.

But that Diwali was a silent one as there were no crackers, no celebration, no Rangoli and no visitor !! 

We, only the Siblings chanted a Prayer. & Enlightened few lamps.

As a Student Leader, I was very strong, but on that day I couldn't stop tears from my eyes.

After few minutes of prayer, I found new energy in me. I got the solution within. & From that moment I started managing the District Panchayat Election as my Father Shri Rasiklal Dave was a Candidate. Though he was in Jail, he won the election with the Highest Lead. That was a real energetic Diwali to experience my own strength.
