Diwali celebrations at Radha Govind Dham 2018
A large crowd of people recently gathered together at Radha Govind Dham DC on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, the Festival Of Lights. This day marks the triumphant return of the Supreme Lord Shree Ram and the Ma Sita to Ayodhya, amidst celebrations marked by lighting of lamps by the residents of Ayodhya. Everyone was filled with excitement for celebrating Diwali for the first time at Radha Govind Dham, which was filled with beautiful decorations of lights, flowers & rangoli done by loving Devotees. The celebrations began with prayers and blissful chants celebrating the arrival of Prabhu Shri Ram & Mata Sita to Ayodhya at the end of a 14 year exile. All Devotees participated enthusiastically in the soul-stirring Kirtans. Right after that, everyone performed Bhagwan Ram’s Abhishek with the Jaikar and Chants being sung in the background. This was followed by a video of a Divine Discourse given by Shri Kripaluji Maharaj explaining the significance of Deepavali. Next there was a cultural program where both adults and children performed beautiful traditional dances, followed by Mahaprasad & Laddoos lovingly and generously prepared by Devotees. The event came to a close with everyone enjoying sparklers & fireworks, a big part of Diwali celebrations in India.
