Happy Diwali?

Well, most of you know that we celebrate Diwali for the arrival of Lord Ram, Laxman and Sita from a 14 year long exile back to Ayodhya. I have been celebrating Diwali for all these years merrily, lighting diyas, burning crackers despite all the environmental hazards. But this year something is bothering me. I am sorry if I do not put this clearly as I am myself unclear about what and how I am going to say this.

So my question is we celebrate the come back of the Lords to their palace but has anyone ever thought that just after their return Lord Ram disowns his wife on a pretext of a common man who thinks Sita was not pure enough to be a Queen. Has it never occurred to anyone that it is more of a celebration of an denigration of a woman. I mean how can anyone define purity of a woman? How could a man disown his wife? How could he do it when she was pregnant with his children? How were the rules and powers of a king suddenly more important than the promises to a wife? So suddenly all the love vanishes and the authority of being a king comes in power?

I am sorry to have bothered you with these questions and also if I have spoiled your Diwali with such questions but I had to speak this out, somewhere!

Despite all of these I do not intend to damage the fun so here’s to everyone who is reading this – A very happy Diwali and a prosperous year ahead. May the coming years do not have such actions which make people question them. May the future do not put down the integrity of any human being male or female. May all our lives be as bright as it could be.

PS: Even if I am a bit clear to anyone I’d be glad.

PPS: This post would mean something to you only if You believe in God and if you don’t; Well, a happy diwali to you too. 🙂

You have some good questions there …a lot of us don’t bother asking aloud. A Happy Diwali to you …to me this festival means more about spreading the light and joy with love.

I read someone say myth and I saw someone getting pissed off. But what I think is you don’t have to apologize for anything. Seriously, you don’t have to.
I do understand your questions and well, I don’t have answers, but in short and in most popular belief, it is said to be the ‘Rules of the Dharm’ or whatever. Things such as this are the reason why women are still getting oppressed. Someone said there is a hidden meaning, this is it. And this someone also said we aren’t even qualified to talk about it. I mean what the hell? Right from our birth we were taught and we grow up in the religion learning and educating and it is our right to question because in some way we are following this. Or should we just be our natural self and turn our blind eye (like we are doing to most of the things happening around us) and just let it be.

Nonetheless, don’t let it stop you from asking such questions. We could have a healthy debate and may be come up with a feasible solution to all of these problems.

Happy Diwali (belated). 🙂

  Hi!
  First of all a big thank you for stopping by and taking out the time to read the post and also the discussion going on and also for sharing your wise opinion on the matter.
  my whole point in sharing this was not to hurt anyone’s sentiments but just to make things clearer in my head cause after all we from childhood believe and follow these things which you have accurately mentioned. A blind eye is not my thing. So really thanks a lot for this!! It’s good to see people sharing your beliefs and if not sharing, at least respecting what you have in mind. It’s not necessary that two people think likewise but respecting the other side is what matters.
  With regards
  Moushmi.

    Hey Moushmi,
    First of all, you have become tooooo formal. Just Saying. 😛 Also, I would be glad to write letters. Ok, kidding again. 😛
    Being inquisitive is what we were taught to be from our childhood, and a part of it is to question everything, even if it means the almighty, because with knowing only we could actually believe or move ahead, in my opinion.
    Those blanks in the sentences, the unanswered questions keeps questioning where we are actually headed.
    Exactly, people think differently and one needs to respect the difference of opinions. They may be right or wrong, but making them understand is what’s more important, without getting agitated.
    Regards,
    Enigma.

    HAHAHAHA
    Letters? We are already kind of doing that I think 😀
    Anyways, It’s good to know where we are headed.
    And honestly I don’t much know about right or wrong!

    Yeah, we kind of are, that was why I was joking about it. 😛
    Honestly speaking no one actually does, unless one experiences it first hand. Rest all being hear say.
