Ras Poornima

Reason of Dev Diwali

After leaving king Bali, the Lord rejoined the devas on this day. The devas celebrated Lord arrival in and thus Dev Diwali came into being.

Tripurari Purnima. The 7th Skandh of the Shrimad Bhagwat cites the story. With the help of Tarak and Vidyunmaali, a demon named Muy daanav constructed three aerial ‘purs’ – cities; of gold, silver and iron, which he gave to the demons. With these, the demons flew wherever they wished, destroying the places where they landed. The devas then approached Lord Shiv for succor. Another reference cites that Naradji instigated the 3 demons to destroy Kailas – Lord Shiv’s abode. An angered Shiv then destroyed the three purs. Henceforth he became known as Tripurari. The devas rejoiced on this day, hence Dev Diwali celebrated.

A Festival Significant for Women :

Shivratri is considered especially auspicious for women. Married women pray for the well being of their husbands and sons, while unmarried women pray for an ideal husband like Shiva, who is the spouse of Kali, Parvati and Durga. But generally it is believed that anyone who utters the name of Shiva during Shivratri with pure devotion is freed from all sins. He or she reaches the abode of Shiva and is liberated from the cycle of birth and death.
