Happy Diwali Streemians!!💓💓

## Happy Diwali
Diwali, the “festival of lights,” is one of the most important festivals in the Hindu calendar. As far as i am concerned you could be of any race, religion, ethnicity to celebrate Diwali. Why?? Because Diwali is awesome. The name Diwali is actually a shortened form of “deepavali,” or “row of lights,” representing the iconic seas of candles and eye-popping fireworks displays that have attracted Instagrammers across the world. Diwali signifies a triumph of good over evil, symbolized as the triumph of light over darkness. Small, clay, oil-filled lamps called diyas are lit and left to burn overnight to help the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, find her way into homes. The fireworks are set off to ward off any evil spirits.
If you have a small lamp and oil at home, fill it up and place a small snake shaped cotton in there, soak it in the oil and have the tip sticking out of the lamp a little. Light the tip and it will glow like a lamp (candle) for a couple of hours and you can have as many as you want. Although this is tradition followed by Hindu’s, anyone can do it. We can participate in any culture and tradition as long as we know what we’re doing and respecting it. My family and I are not Hindu’s nor do we follow Hinduism, but since my brother absolutely loves bright lights, we lit a couple for him. And the meaning of these Diya’s are so significant, that we want evil spirit to be warded off and good to over power evil.
