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.

“Those men who will again see Rama along with Sita, accompanied by the mighty-armed Lakshmana, returning home will be successful.” (Valmiki Ramayana, Ayodhya Kand, 72.38)

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:

La théorie de Darwin dit que toutes les espèces vivantes descendent d'ancêtres communs. Or, dans chaque génération, apparaissent des variations individuelles. Certaines de ces différences offrent un avantage — par exemple une meilleure adaptation au milieu — et augmentent les chances de survie et de reproduction. Progressivement, ces traits bénéfiques se répandent dans la population : c'est la sélection naturelle. Au fil du temps, ce mécanisme produit des transformations profondes, jusqu'à l'apparition de nouvelles espèces. Darwin avait déjà réuni l'essentiel de ses observations et réflexions sur l'évolution dès les années 1830, à son retour du voyage du Beagle. Pourtant, il garda sa théorie dans ses tiroirs pendant plus de vingt ans. Pourquoi une telle hésitation ?D'abord, pour des raisons scientifiques. Darwin savait que sa thèse — l'idée que les espèces se transforment par sélection naturelle — allait à l'encontre du paradigme dominant de l'époque : la fixité des espèces, soutenue par la majorité des naturalistes et par l'Église. Il voulait donc accumuler des preuves irréfutables. Il passa des années à étudier la botanique, l'élevage de pigeons, la géologie ou encore la distribution des espèces pour consolider son argumentaire.Ensuite, pour des raisons personnelles et sociales. Darwin était conscient que sa théorie allait heurter les croyances religieuses profondes de la société victorienne. Lui-même, issu d'une famille anglicane, redoutait de choquer son entourage, notamment son épouse Emma, très croyante. Publier une telle idée risquait aussi de ternir sa réputation et d'entraîner des polémiques violentes.Un autre facteur est lié à son tempérament. Darwin était méthodique, perfectionniste et souvent hésitant. Il réécrivait sans cesse ses notes, cherchant à rendre son raisonnement inattaquable. Il parlait de sa théorie comme d'un “crime” à confesser.Ce n'est qu'en 1858, lorsqu'il reçut un manuscrit d'Alfred Russel Wallace — jeune naturaliste qui, de son côté, avait abouti à la même idée de sélection naturelle — que Darwin fut contraint d'agir. Ne voulant pas être devancé, il accepta de publier ses travaux en même temps que ceux de Wallace lors d'une présentation commune à la Société linnéenne de Londres.L'année suivante, en 1859, Darwin fit paraître L'Origine des espèces. L'ouvrage connut un immense retentissement, déclenchant débats, controverses et enthousiasmes.En résumé, Darwin n'a pas tant hésité par manque de conviction que par prudence. Il voulait à la fois renforcer la solidité scientifique de sa théorie et se protéger des tempêtes sociales et religieuses qu'il pressentait. Wallace, en quelque sorte, fut l'élément déclencheur qui le poussa à franchir le pas. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

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

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

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

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 ***

Having heard from the mouth of Dadhimukha the story of Madhivana having been laid waste by the monkeys, Sugriva concludes from the jubilation of the monkeys that Sita has been traced out. Comforting Dadhimukha, he asks him to send Angada and others without delay.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:50Translation: 05:53 - 13:40

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

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

Feeling encouraged by the tributes paid to his valour by his fellow monkeys, Price Angada undertakes to exterminate the entire ogre race including Ravana and bring back Sita from Lanka. Jambavan, however, who is more sagacious and practical-minded, discourages him by recourse to potent counter-arguments.Recitation: 00:00 - 03:39Translation: 03:43 - 09:12

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

It's said that in the absolute reality, there are varieties of feeling—but all of them are of the same quality of transcendental bliss. How can what looks like heartbreak actually be an entry to the deepest spiritual joy? In today's episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha examine the profound teachings behind Lord Ram's separation from Sita, explore why material “love” is often the cause of fear, and reveal how the illusory love relationships of this world can be aligned with the spiritual reality. Forget the Hollywood endings—the Vedic sages offer a powerful upgrade in understanding the ways of love.

What does it means to lead without ego, serve without exploitation, and rule with spiritual detachment? In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha dive into the extraordinary standard set by Lord Ramachandra, whose rule began not with conquest but with renunciation.  The conversation also takes a deeper look at the controversial episode of Sita's banishment though the eyes of the sages (as opposed  to the lens of ones's own painful divorce). When seen with spiritual clarity, the pain of separation transforms into an expression of divine love, where Ram and Sita's apparent distance reveals the depth of their unbreakable connection. Key Highlights: * How Ram's leadership flips modern politics on its head * Sages with melted hearts receive the supreme gift - inner illumination * Sita's banishment—and why comparing it to your messy breakup doesn't quite work * What Jay Shetty, and Douglas Adams and Socrates have to do with karma yoga * Abraham Lincolns touching letter about losing a loved one * Bhakti as the “Platinum Package” of yoga paths (yes, karma and jñāna are included) * How Sita Sings the Blues delights, but disappoints 

Think a better system will fix everything?  In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha encourage us to think again by exploring the idea that until we transform the mind and purify the heart, no political structure will truly work. We chase reforms, write new laws, and elect new leaders, but if we're not addressing the root within, the same problems resurface. Different system, same chaos. Drawing wisdom from Plato, Bhaktivedanta Swami, and Radhanath Swami, we explore how inner clarity is the foundation of any truly functional society. Also: what does Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya—and his eventual heartbreaking separation from Sita—teach us about the deepest currents of love? Key Highlights: * “The city is what it is because the citizens are what they are.” —Plato * Why policy without purification is just window dressing * What Radhanath Swami told a government official about cleaning rivers * Love in separation: the most esoteric (and confusing) part of bhakti * A tiny chicken, a brutal pecking order, and the quest for a tribe

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

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.
