Online Diwali Gifts And Indian Diwali Sweets

The Jain community believes that Mahavira attained Moksha on the day of Diwali in the Year 527 B.C

. Therefore, like their Hindu brethren, the Jains also celebrate Diwali by worshipping in Jain Mandirs and lighting diyas like all other Indians on the evening of Diwali. The Jain community is the epitome of ahimsa or non violence in the world. All Jains like many Hindus eat only vegetarian food and are conformed peace lovers and pacifists. They do not condone violence or killing under any circumstances whatever.

Even on the day of Diwali, Jain households are busy with cooking vegetarian delicacies. Many Jains are leading businessmen, especially in the cities of North and West India. On Diwali day, many of them hire halwais who prepare succulent and fresh Diwali Sweets for the entire extended family. Indian Diwali Sweets add an amazing touch to the entire Diwali celebration. Wherever the Indian diaspora are present in substantial numbers in America, Canada, U.K. and Australia, large scale Diwali melas and such events are organized where the Indian community as well as the native community joins in to celebrate the festival just like Indians join them during Christmas celebrations later in the year.

Apart from the Hindu and the Jain communities, the Newar Buddhists commemorate Ashokas embracing the path shown by the Buddha on the auspicious day of Diwali.

Seeing the wanton loss of life on the great battlefield of Kalinga or modern day Odhisa (earlier Orissa), a great wave of empathy, sorrow, guilt and repentance swept over Ashoka. He gave up war and all violent ways and entered the dhamma of the Apostle of Peace and Non Violence Gautama Buddha Buddham Sharanam Gachchami, Sangham Sharanmam Gachchami, Dhammam Sharanam Gacchami The Newar Buddhists celebrate and commemorate this welcome change that came over Emperor Ashoka on the day of Diwali.

While in the popular perception, Diwali is the Festival of Lights, in the profound sense, it is the Festival of Inner Light, i.e. the realization that the true nature of every soul is one with Brahman the One that pervades and permeates every unit of the cosmos and which is our true nature. It is the realization and worship of this truth in its most benevolent form Ma Lakshmi that is the real significance of the holy festival of Deepavali. Celebrate the festival in its true spirit and dont forget to send Diwali sweets to India to your loved ones and friends living in India. Online Diwali Gifts can also be ordered by visiting a good quality and reliable gift portal.
