pWotD Episode 3093: Diwali Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 407,031 views on Monday, 20 October 2025 our article of the day is Diwali.Dipavali (IAST: Dīpāvalī), commonly known as Diwali (English: ), is the Hindu festival of lights, with variations celebrated in other Indian religions such as Jainism and Sikhism. It symbolises the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kārtika – between around mid-September and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days.Diwali is connected to various religious events, deities and personalities, such as being the day Rama returned to his kingdom in Ayodhya with his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana after defeating the demon king Ravana. It is also widely associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and Ganesha, the god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles. Other regional traditions connect the holiday to Vishnu, Krishna, Durga, Shiva, Kali, Hanuman, Kubera, Yama, Yami, Dhanvantari, or Vishvakarman.Primarily a Hindu festival, variations of Diwali are also celebrated by adherents of other faiths. The Jains observe their own Diwali which marks the final liberation of Mahavira. The Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas to mark the release of Guru Hargobind from a Mughal prison. Newar Buddhists, unlike other Buddhists, celebrate Diwali by worshipping Lakshmi, while the Hindus of Eastern India and Bangladesh generally, celebrate Diwali by worshipping the goddess Kali.During the festival, the celebrants illuminate their homes, temples and workspaces with diyas (oil lamps), candles and lanterns. Hindus, in particular, have a ritual oil bath at dawn on each day of the festival. Diwali is also marked with fireworks as well as the decoration of floors with rangoli designs and other parts of the house with jhalars. Food is a major focus with families partaking in feasts and sharing mithai. The festival is an annual homecoming and bonding period not only for families, but also for communities and associations, particularly those in urban areas, which will organise activities, events, and gatherings. Many towns organise community parades and fairs with parades or music and dance performances in parks. Some Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs will send Diwali greeting cards to family near and far during the festive season, occasionally with boxes of Indian confectionery. Another aspect of the festival is remembering the ancestors.Diwali is also a major cultural event for the Hindu, Sikh, and Jain diaspora. The main day of the festival of Diwali (the day of Lakshmi Puja) is an official holiday in Fiji, Guyana, India, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago, and is symbolically recognized by some US state governments.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:24 UTC on Tuesday, 21 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Diwali on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Brian.

“Giving up all enjoyable things, forced by affection for her husband she entered into the desolate forest, not concerned with the hardships.” (Hanuman, Valmiki Ramayana, Sundara Kand, 16.19)

Hanuman, Jesus, and How to Become a Son of God by Paul Fredric

In this episode, we explore The Ramayana as more than a sacred story — it's a living spiritual map that shows how love, devotion, and discipline transform the human heart.Through the lives of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, and Hanuman, we see what it means to live in alignment with dharma, to love with courage, and to serve with humility. This episode moves beyond myth and into practice — showing how Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion, can become a living part of your daily life.You'll hear how the Ramayana mirrors your own inner journey — from the exile of the heart to the return of divine love — and how every act of kindness, honesty, and surrender builds your own bridge to the sacred.My New Book and Journal Now Available on Amazon:

"As a child I lived in a hostel away from my parents and I was always scared so my parents told me to recite the Hanuman Chalisa. That's how the text entered my life. Recently,  I met a delegation from Trinidad and Tobago who said that the one thing they desperately needed was a singable translation of Indian spiritual texts as they can no longer read the original Awadhi or Hindi. So then I decided to do a translation that was not only literary but could also be sung with music. The Hanuman Chalisa teaches us ultimate humility; to approach everything with the notion that you do not know anything. Everytime I read it, it has a fresh angle. That's the beauty of Tulsidas' work. It's a tool for mindfulness and focus and it's also a text of diplomacy. It is amazingly condensed and layered and I'd like people to explore it not only as a spiritual text but also as an introduction to Indian sutra traditions."- Abhay K, poet, diplomat, translator of The Hanuman Chalisa Learn more about your ad choices.

Sharing personal stories of his time with Maharaj-ji, Krishna Das walks us down the path of recognizing grace, loving all beings, and keeping the heart open—no matter how hard it gets.Today's podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self."Grace is always here but we're too busy, too involved in our stuff, our thoughts and emotions. We're too identified with our negative emotions. From our side, it appears we lose contact with the grace. But, that's not the case. We just lose awareness of the presence. Maharaj-ji doesn't go, doesn't come, doesn't leave us. He never lets go. Once he takes your hand, he never lets go." – Krishna DasThis time on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das responds to questions about:Hanuman's favorite food and providing offerings from the heartThe ever-presence of Maharaj-ji and his grace, even when we are too busy to noticeThe struggle to connect with others and find a community Loving everyone, regardless of their actions or if we like/dislike themA short retelling of the story of Hanuman's birth Working through addictions and the avoidance of painA memory of an almost-marriage in India, and how Maharaj-ji always saw right through Krishna Das' egoHow it took Krishna Das 21 years to begin singing to Maharaj-ji as his primary practice"The big community is human beings, that's our real community. Our work is to allow our hearts to open to all beings, even the ones we don't like, even the ones that are doing terrible things. It's not our job to judge—it's our job to love everyone as best we can, and that's hard enough." – Krishna DasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“By this symbol, O best of the monkeys, the daughter of Janaka will be able, without any fear, to properly understand that you have come from My presence.” (Lord Rama speaking to Hanuman, Valmiki Ramayana, Kishkindha Kand, 44.13)

Hanuman tells Sri Rama, how Sita expressed her doubt in the first instance about a monkey being able to leap across a vast sea and how her doubt was resolved by him.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:10Translation: 05:13 - 12:00*** END OF SUNDARAKANDA ***

Hanuman reproduces at length the incident connected with a crow that took place during the sojourn of Sita with Sri Rama at Chitrakoota, related by her by way of a token, and further describes her piteous lament and the way in which she was comforted by Hanuman.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:24Translation: 07:27 - 17:43

Pressing to his bosom the jewel for the head sent by Sita and piteously wailing in many ways, Sri Rama urges Hanuman to repeat the message of Sita.Recitation: 00:00 - 02:47Translation: 02:51 - 07:06

Asked by Sri Rama to tell him the news about Sita, Hanuman apprises Sri Rama of her presence at the foot of a Shimshapa tree in the midst of ogresses and delivers her message after narrating the incidents related by her as a token.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:52Translation: 04:56 - 11:38

Returning to Madhuvana as commanded by Sugriva, and craving the forgiveness of Angada, Dadhimukha submits to the latter that he is urgently summoned by Sugriva. Set out in the company of Hanuman and others, and approaching Sugriva, Prince Angada apprises Sri Rama, after saluting him, of the discovery of Sita and other events.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:27Translation: 07:31 - 17:21

Having entered Madhuvana and partaken of honey, as permitted by Hanuman, and singing and dancing like drunken people, the monkeys were forbidden by those guarding the grove and they belaboured the latter. Repulsed by them, the guards reported the matter to their leader, Dadhimukha, who appeared on the scene with his entourage and on remonstrating with the monkeys was thrashed by Angada, who dashed him to the ground. The guards headed by Dadhimukha then move en masse to Kishkindha to report the matter to Sugriva and bow down at the latter's feet.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:25Translation: 06:30 - 15:00

Picturing to his fellow monkeys the said plight of Sita, and feeling that it behoved them all to see Sri Rama only after recovering Sita from Lanka, recounting the past heroic exploits of Jambavan and others, Hanuman incites them all to have recourse to the arbitrament of war.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:33Translation: 05:37 - 13:41

Enquired by Jambavan, seated along with the monkey hordes, Hanuman narrates in extenso how he saw Mount Mainaka in the course of his journey to Lanka, reached Lanka, beheld Janaka's daughter and returned to Mount Mahendra.Recitation: 00:00 - 27:08Translation: 27:11 - 01:00:53

Having leapt from the coast of Lanka and touching the Mainaka mountain, which he came across in the way, advancing further, Hanuman roars at the top of his voice at the sight of the Mahendra mountain in order to bring joy to the monkeys awaiting his return there. Jambavan tells the monkeys, who got up impetuously on hearing the roar, that Hanuman has returned successful from his expedition as was evident from his jubilant roar. Having greeted Jambavan and others on alighting on the summit of the Mahendra mountain, Hanuman narrates to them in a nutshell the story of his discovery of Sita. Applauding Hanuman, Prince Angada, who was eager to hear the story, sits down to do so on an extensive flat rock along with all. Recitation: 00:00 - 08:53Translation: 08:55 - 20:11

Hanuman sees Sita once more and bidding adieu to her, takes a leap across the sea.Recitation: 00:00 - 08:33Translation: 08:37 - 19:25

Lecture by Swami Tyagananda, given on April 6, 2025, at the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society, Boston, MA

India and Pakistan flirt with war (oh no!) while Western Canadian cope dictates they blame their own Canadian kin for their problems as Indians colonize Alberta faster than every other province but Ontario. They're actually giving out a Hanuman monkey statue trophy at the conclusion of the NHL playoffs this year and retiring the Stanley Cup due to diversity and inclusion requirements.

Invoking Strength and Courage from the Spirit of Hanuman!

Have you ever wondered whether the modern narrative of empowerment is missing something essential? We live in a world where empowerment is often defined as the independent freedom to do as we please. But in this thought-provoking episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore a radically different idea—drawn from the bhakti-yoga tradition—that deep commitment can be a source of supernatural strength. Sītā, whose unwavering integrity and loyalty ultimately crushed the might of Ravana, is more than a mythological figure—she's a spiritual archetype. This episode challenges the assumption that power comes from autonomy, and offers a vision of strength rooted in devotion, integrity, and focus. Whether it's to a person, a principle, or the Divine, commitment—according to the Bhakti tradition—isn't weakness. It's where real empowerment begins. Key Highlights: * The Bhagavatam doesn't just expose Ravana—it holds up a mirror to our modern cravings * Why unexamined desire can lead to destruction—even when you “have it all” * “Attractive, but not what I need”—the mantra that builds inner strength * The supernatural force of Sītā's chastity and the deeper meaning of loyalty * A masculine path to power that isn't about suppression, but sacred focus * Speaking truth to power—without hostility or ego * Raghu & Kaustubha imagine what it would it be like seeing Hanuman flying in the first class cabin

The Ramayana doesn't just tell an ancient story—it reveals eternal truths. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore one of the most profound contrasts in the epic: how Ravana and Hanuman each approach Sita. What unfolds is not just mythological drama—it's a powerful spiritual teaching. Sita is the personification of good fortune herself. In bhakti wisdom, how we approach her—whether with reverence and devotion or with a mood of exploitation—determines the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness that flows though our lives. This isn't just about Sita and Ravana. It's about all of us and the world around us.  And yes, the Pope gets a shout-out. So do monkeys with torches. Key Highlights: * Ravana, Hanuman, and the spiritual do's and don'ts of divine energy * Why auspiciousness isn't random—it's relational * The Pope, Easter, and holy humility * Monkeys vs. modern weapons: Why the jungle army wins * The arc of the moral universe is long—but don't worry, zoom out * Why Sita's curse beat Ravana's black magic

It's not necessary to ask Hanuman for anything, For he knows all." -Krishna Das Filling Up My Eyes from Mooji Mala, written and saaaaaang by my friend, Ana Ling!

Last year, on Hanuman Jayanti we gave the talk The Tantrik Hanuman exploring some of the Tantrik aspects of this fierce rudra, Mahavīra! This year on Hanuman Jayanti, we decided to talk a little about what makes Hanuman so powerful! First, we discuss the significance of Hanuman in our own lineage with a reference to Sri Ramakrishna's Hanuman sādhana and the parallels between Hanuman and Swami Vivekananda. Then, we analyze the secret sauce, the special something that makes Hanuman so unstoppable powerful. Its the Krabby Patty secret formula. Jai Hanuman Ji Ki Jai! You'll find a complete playlist of lectures on Tantra in both theory and practice here.

Every life holds a hidden epic. In this stirring episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha unlock the timeless teachings of the Ramayana and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam to reveal how Lord Ram's divine story is far more than mythology—it's a living guide for our own transformation. Alongside the insights of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey, the sages explore what it truly means to conquer inner demons and rise to the occasion of your own sacred adventure. But this episode goes deeper than just inspiration. It offers a bold clarification of what līlā truly is—and what it's not. It's a common spiritual misstep to view the pain, confusion, and trauma of material life as brahman engaged in “divine play,” mistaking our suffering for the līlā of the Supreme. Raghunath and Kaustubha draw a clear line: true līlā is not the fractured experience of conditioned life, but the ecstatic, conscious, and love-saturated interactions of Krishna with His eternal energies—Ram and Sita, Radha and Krishna, Lakshman, Hanuman, and the gopīs, etc. To conflate the two is to miss the sweetness of bhakti, to remain trapped in illusion, and to miss the opportunity to enter into eternal līlā—the highest potential of the self. Key Highlights: * Why the Ramayana is more than story—it's a training ground for the soul * The crucial difference between true līlā and conditioned suffering * Why Lord Ram left without resentment—and how we can too * How to starve the inner Ravana and awaken your inner Hanuman * What it really means to return from the forest with “boons” for the world Join us and rediscover your highest potential—not by pretending to be the hero, but by walking the sacred path of one who's learning how to love.
