                                            🪔Happy Deepavali to all yogis/ yoginis and spiritual seekers 🪔
Deepavali, is celebrated on the new moon night (Amavasya) in the lunar month of Karthika, symbolizing the victory of good over evil on the previous day of Naraka Chaturdhasi ( 14th day of the waning moon). 
Diwali is much more than a festival of lights or listening the ancient stories of Rama killing Ravana and Satyabhama & Krishna killing narskasura ; it holds a profound spiritual symbolism to respect women and to kill 14 akusala chetika within and light up 16 kala . 
14 Akusala Chetika (unwholesome attributes of mind / unconscious negative states) -   delusion, moral shamelessness, moral fearlessness, restlessness, greed, wrong perception, conceit,hatred/anger, envy, jealousy,  remorse,sloth,  torpor, and skepticism) .
16,000 refers to releasing 16 imprisoned  Kala ( Devine attributes of consciousness ) of compassion, patience, forgiveness, justice, impartiality, detachment,  spirituality, invincibility, truthfulness, honesty, contentment, and peace!
🧘A wonderful day to set intention and make conscious effort to overcome the 14 Akusala Chetika and improve 16 Kala; on this day and every day !  Personally, I set a small intention about self improvement in this path on Diwali and practice a Mandalam (approx  42 -45 days ) until the following full moon 🧘
