Aayi deewaali deepon waali
Posted on: November 13, 2012
Today (13 november 2012) is Deewaali, easily India’s biggest festival and a festival which also happens to be the time when Indians do their major shoppings of the year because this is supposed to be the most auspicious occasion for such activities. This festival in fact is celebrated as Laxmi Puja, Laxmi being the goddess of wealth and the consort of Vishnu, one of the three major Gods. Of course this festival is also celebrated as the day when Lord Ram (one of the reincarnations of Vishnu) returned back to Ayodhya with Sita and Laxman after completing his period of Vanwas.
This happens to be the fifth Deewaali for this blog ! Seeing that internet is a new technology and most internet sites tend to be shortlived affairs, this blog celebrating its fifth deewaali today is certainly a cause for celebration.
During the previous four occasions, we have discussed most of the well known Deewaali festival songs. That does not mean that we have run out of songs to discuss on this occasion. We have some more Deewaali songs which will be discussed today.
Here is a Deewaali song from “Maharana Pratap” (1946). This song is sung by Khursheed. Swami Ramanand is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ram Ganguly.
I take this opportunity to wish all our regulars, visitors and well wishers a very happy deewaali and a prosperous new year.
