Hardwar Goswami does not get a chance every time, light a lamp where the mind is even slightly confused. Only the sun gives understanding about the shade, change the atmosphere and light the lamp. The goal is only ours, to shine, to be a lamp in the darkness. The truth called God is untraditional, light a lamp where humanity is dimmed. If you walk, the bell rings, light a lamp where the steps rest. Where there is understanding the meaning will expand 'Mahesh', but, where there is misunderstanding, do Diwa. – Dr. Mahesh Rawal Light is a symbol of knowledge. Where there is knowledge there is no darkness and where there is darkness there cannot be knowledge. Just as two swords cannot be in one sheath. As per our tradition, the lamp is lit at the beginning of the program. A ghee lamp radiates positivity in the atmosphere. On the day of Diwali, we also put lamps on Ukarda. This day reminds us that no matter how big a lie is Ravana, its defeat is certain. We witness the best moment when the festive cheer combines with the colors of nature. That is why the hill station is full house during festivals. Festivals are the map of culture. 'When you're somewhere completely, it's a festival,' says Rajneesh. Your life swings between the festive pylons. You can take off the yoke of busyness and breathe in peace. Festivals give new energy. As recess is inevitable in school, such festivals act as a recharge in life. During festivals we connect with our culture. Every festival brings a new lesson. Gujarati business people means Kartak Sud Pancham Labha Pancham is the patron saint of traders. An auspicious time is created for a new venture. Many showrooms are opened. Success is achieved only when Labhapancham and Hugulapancham are summed up. BC Sixth-century Chinese philosopher and founder of Taoism, Lao-Tzu, said, 'To achieve success, keep your mind active and your mind open.' Business means wealth. 10% of rupees earned in business should be used for good work. Which protects you by being a shield. We are a people who give two loaves of bread to one side. Trading with the right strategy will never make you lose money. Ratan Tata is a prime example. Baradi Baradi says Labhpancham, 'Don't be dishonest with the customer.' He who does not hear this never makes progress. Thepalan, Khakhara, Dhokla have two hours of fun. Gujaratis are the only ones who can joke about themselves. By doing this the ego comes to zero level. Laughing at yourself is the best laugh in the world. Those who speak Gujarati fluently in Mumbai do not know that Gujju is the backbone of Mumbai. Today's auspicious day is also known as Jnanpanchami. The entire world recognizes the wisdom of Gujaratis. Gujaratis remember Labhpancham more than Jnanpanchami. We prefer laws of advantage. Only this species has the combination of intelligence with adventure. Gujju is a valuable addition to the business. We may have initiated the bonus. Prepared pooja to perform Dhanteras Dhanpooja today. For the first time, the bottom of the treasury was opened to take silver coins for worship. Ooh…ho…ho…a whole canteen full of small and big boxes. When I opened the first box, I saw chabarkhis written on the chin. In the second box, the ashes of grandfather's ashes. In the third, a torn page of grandmother's Nityapath book, in the fourth dabdi, a loop of yarn spun by Bapuji himself, in the fifth dabdi, small pieces of pencil, in the sixth dabdi, a tulsi garland, in the seventh dabdi, sandalwood cut into small pieces. He left the safe without opening the rest of the boxes. Then the 90-year-old man offered Kankuchokha and took Panchamrit on his feet and celebrated Dhanteras. – I found this life like Daksha Patel, I liked it, but I always felt that there was something missing. She must have known where the base would be, even a few branches were bent towards the root. Desire rises like the sun in the morning, but does it ever set in the evening? Even the longings that I kept in my blood, How many a suit against myself! – Mansukh Naria Where can I say, 'I don't fall', I don't build myself without stumbling… I put my head on that fight, it's not the body that fights for truth… Be it my first or last journey, I never turn back from where I start… The remainder is still growing in the 'Nishshesh'! If the example is wrong, it does not count. – Manoj Bhavsar 'Ni:shesh' If you stand wearing a yellow patambari, even if you stand, what does it matter to me if you sit in a pot of jamuna, if you sit, even if you are sitting, if you are sitting? Even if I walk around wearing a coil in my ears, why should I go and sit with a kadamba branch, even if you sit with a venu? And if you remain a banker with a peacock's coat, what should I do if you become a forester? My balla goes to play as if there is money
