🌅 નૂતન વર્ષાભિનંદન! 🌅 As we step into the Gujarati New Year, or Bestu Varas વિક્રમ સંવત 2081 , we celebrate not only a fresh start but also a convergence of tradition, spirituality, and resilience. The day is unique as it starts with the month Kartik (or Kartak in Gujarati), which is the eighth month in Saka Samvat calendar —the traditional national calendar. Moreover, this day connects with the story of Govardhan Pooja, where Lord Krishna lifted Mount Govardhan to shield the people of Gokul from torrential rains caused by Lord Indra. This act of protection and compassion is a reminder of the strength that lies in unity and devotion, values we carry forward into the new year. The origins of this New Year date back centuries and are deeply intertwined with Gujarat’s history. With strong roots in Jainism, where Diwali marks Lord Mahavir’s nirvana, the Vir Nirvan Samvat calendar begins the day after Diwali. This tradition grew, especially in Gujarat, where many businesses start their new financial records on this day—a blend of religious reverence and financial renewal. To everyone celebrating, Saal Mubarak! Wishing you a year filled with peace, prosperity, and the unwavering spirit of community. #GujaratiNewYear #SaalMubarak #BestuVaras #NewBeginnings #TraditionAndCulture #Community Reference: https://lnkd.in/dM-afgev (Declaration: The content for this social media post is sourced from a specific reference.

As we mark the start of Diwali with Dhanteras, there’s a deeper significance that resonates beyond tradition. In the spirit of Lord Dhanvantari, the divine healer, and Goddess Lakshmi, the symbol of prosperity, this day reminds us of the invaluable assets in our lives: our health, our wealth, and our well-being. On Dhanteras, many buy gold, silver, or even something as simple as a new utensil — but it’s not merely about material wealth. It’s a reminder to invest in the essentials that sustain us, whether in our personal lives or careers. Just as a clean, organized home welcomes positive energy, a mindful, purpose-driven approach can invite growth and abundance into our work. Here’s to a year filled with the true riches of life: health, joy, resilience, and success. May this Dhanteras bring each of us the vision to recognize and nurture what truly enriches our lives.

*Diwali and Deepavali* Both Diwali and Deepavali are and they refer to the same festival but with regional differences and emphasis. “Diwali” is a shorter version of “Deepavali,” which is derived from the Sanskrit words Deepa (lamp) and Avali (row or series). So, Deepavali translates to “a row of lights.” “Diwali” is more commonly used in Northern India, as well as in popular global references. “Deepavali” is more widely used in Southern India, and in some parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka. It’s also the term used in countries like Malaysia, Singapore, and Sri Lanka where the South Indian diaspora is significant. Cultural Differences: While the underlying theme remains the same—over power of light over darkness, good over evil—some celebrations differ slightly based on regional customs. For example, in the North of India, Diwali celebrates the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya, while in the South, Deepavali often marks the defeat of the demon Narakasura by Lord Krishna or Goddess Kali as in East of India. In essence, both terms are culturally and linguistically correct, with Diwali emphasizing the North Indian and more widely recognized term, while Deepavali reflects the traditional roots and southern celebrations. #Diwali #Deepavali #NorthernIndia #SouthernIndia #LightOverDarkness #Diyas #UnityInDiversity #CulturalHeritage #FestiveIndia #IncredibleIndia #CountlessStories

Business and Faith: On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, along with the symbol of Shree Sava and the traditional worship of account books (Chopda-Poojan), many Baniyas (businesspeople) also chant the sacred verses of Shree Suktam to invoke prosperity and blessings for the coming year. Shree Sava, representing 1.25 times, symbolizes steady growth in business while encouraging moderation and discouraging excessive profiteering and speculation. It inspires businesses to set realistic growth expectations and adopt a balanced, greed-free approach. Uniting Faith and Materialism in the Modern Economy: In today’s modern economy, a one-size-fits-all approach rarely applies. Yet, the effort to bridge materialism with faith is truly inspiring. Aligning sustainable practices with faith carries a significant advantage: it fosters widespread acceptance among the masses, achieving what regulations and mandates alone cannot. CSR, corporate governance, and anti-competition laws are enforced to ensure ethical conduct, fairness, and equitable wealth distribution, yet they often bring substantial administrative costs. These costs could be greatly reduced if ethical practices were aligned with faith, inspiring individuals to willingly support these principles. The Rightful Pursuit of Wealth: Unlike many belief systems, this perspective does not discourage the possession of wealth. Instead, it emphasizes acquiring wealth through righteous means and allocating it wisely. The Shri Suktam stotras, chanted on this auspicious day, express heartfelt wishes for various forms of wealth—whether in health, financial prosperity, strong intellect, strong character, or a positive attitude—all with the noble intention of using it for the greater collective good. In this way, material gains are not considered taboo within Indian belief systems. Indian Ethos: The Divine Ownership of Wealth: While capitalism advocates individual ownership of wealth and communism promotes collective ownership by society, trusteeship encourages a custodial rather than an ownership approach. Indian ethos, however, uniquely emphasizes that wealth (Lakshmi) belongs solely to Narayan, symbolizing that true prosperity is divine (Lakshmi-Narayan). Thus, earning wealth is welcomed—as long as its use serves a higher, divine purpose. #Diwali #Deepavali #BooksofAccounts #Wealth #Spirituality #ShreeSava #ShreeSuktam

#BandiChhor Diwas: A Festival of True Freedom and Compassion on #Diwali While many celebrate Diwali as the victory of light over darkness, for #Sikhs, it also marks Bandi Chhor Diwas – a day honoring liberation, justice, and the power of standing up for others. On this day, Guru Hargobind Sahib ji, the sixth Sikh Guru, was released from imprisonment by Mughal Emperor Jahangir. But what makes this story remarkable is that Guru Sahib refused to leave alone, ensuring the release of 52 unjustly imprisoned kings before he walked free. So why should Bandi Chhor Diwas be a part of our curriculum? 1. #Promotes True #Heroes of #India: Instead of focusing solely on the reigns of Mughal emperors, our students should be introduced to stories of courage and compassion by real heroes like Guru Hargobind Sahib, who prioritized justice and humanity above all else. 2. Instills #Core Values: This event teaches students about compassion, courage, and justice—values that help build character and inspire students to stand up for what is right. 3. Enhances #Cultural #Awareness: Bandi Chhor Diwas, celebrated on Diwali, offers a unique perspective on the festival and reminds us of the shared history that unites India’s cultural fabric. Let’s #discuss: Wouldn’t introducing such events in our curriculum make our students more aware of their rich heritage? How can we inspire the next generation by sharing these stories of moral leadership? #BandiChhorDiwas #IndianHeroes #Diwali #IndianCurriculum #ValuesInEducation #InclusiveHistory

Why do we celebrate govardhan pooja on the second day of diwali? Govardhan Puja, celebrated on the second day of Diwali (Padva or Pratipada), honors Lord Krishna's triumph over Indra, the god of rain and thunder. In ancient times, the people of Gokul, Krishna's village, worshipped Indra for rain and prosperity. Krishna convinced them to worship Govardhan Mountain instead, as it provided shelter and livelihood. Indra, offended, unleashed a torrential downpour. Krishna lifted Govardhan Mountain on his little finger, protecting Gokul from the flood. *Significance:* 1. Gratitude: Celebrating Krishna's protection and provision. 2. Worship of nature: Honoring the sacred mountain and natural elements. 3. Triumph of good over evil: Krishna's victory over Indra's wrath. *Regional variations:* In North India, Govardhan Puja is prominent. In South India, it's celebrated as Annakoot or Bali Pratipada. *Essence:* Govardhan Puja reminds us of: 1. Gratitude for nature's bounty. 2. Faith in the divine. 3. Protection and care for all living beings. #govardhanpuja #Annakoot #balipratipada

During #Diwali, Goddess #Lakshmi and Lord #Ganesha are worshipped together as part of a tradition that combines #wealth and #wisdom —two aspects believed essential for a prosperous life. This custom has deep roots in #Hindu_Mythology, where each deity represents a vital aspect of life that complements the other. The Story Behind Worshipping Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha Together 👉 Symbolism of Lakshmi and Ganesha Together #Goddess_Lakshmi, the deity of wealth, fortune, and prosperity, is honored on Diwali night to bless devotees with material abundance and #success. #Lord_Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and symbol of wisdom and intellect, is revered alongside Lakshmi to ensure that the #wealth and prosperity brought by Lakshmi are well-used and not mismanaged. Ganesha’s #blessing also guards against any obstacles that might prevent devotees from fully benefiting from their prosperity. 👉 Mythological Origins One tale that explains this pairing says that Lakshmi chose Ganesha as her companion during #Diwali after realizing the importance of wisdom alongside #wealth. Since Lakshmi is often associated with material wealth, she understood that to provide true #prosperity, she needed the guidance and wisdom that Ganesha represents. 👉 Completeness of Blessings In Vedic beliefs, wealth alone doesn’t guarantee #happiness. To fully enjoy prosperity, one needs the wisdom to use it wisely and the grace of a higher power to clear obstacles. Worshipping Lakshmi and Ganesha together is believed to bring #holistic_well_being, combining the blessings of material wealth with peace, wisdom, and understanding. 👉 Significance in Diwali Celebrations #Diwali is a time of new beginnings, financial closure, and planning for the year ahead. This is why devotees seek the blessings of both deities to ensure that the coming year is filled with prosperity and that they have the #wisdom to sustain and grow it. By worshipping Lakshmi and Ganesha together, devotees hope to receive a complete blessing for a #successful, happy, and obstacle-free life, which reflects the spirit of Diwali as a celebration of joy, #wealth, and wisdom. #Diwali #DiwaliSpecial #FestivalOfLights #UnityInDiversity #Harmony #Brotherhood #Unity #Peace #CulturalHeritage #NationalIntegrity #DNN24

Dev Deepawali, also known as the "Festival of Lights of the Gods," is celebrated to mark the victory of good over evil and light over darkness, but with a unique spiritual and cultural significance. It occurs 15 days after Diwali and is observed primarily in Varanasi, the holiest city in India, where the ghats of the River Ganges are beautifully lit up with millions of oil lamps. According to Hindu mythology, it is believed to be the day when the gods, led by Lord Shiva, defeated the demons and returned to their heavenly abode, hence symbolizing divine victory. For businesses and organizations like Cosmos Staffing Solutions, Dev Deepawali is a reminder of the importance of striving toward excellence, overcoming challenges, and shining a light on the values of integrity, innovation, and collaboration. It also highlights the role of knowledge and community in creating positive change and progress. The occasion encourages reflection on how we, as individuals and teams, can contribute to a brighter, more prosperous future, much like the lamps that light up the night sky during this sacred festival. #DevDeepawali #FestivalOfLights #InnovationAndGrowth #CosmosStaffingSolutions #LightingTheWay #CollaborationAndProgress #EmpoweringTalent #Success
