In India, Diwali is the Festival of Lights, a joyful celebration of the victory of light over darkness and good over ignorance. Homes and temples are illuminated with lamps and candles, symbolizing the light of the Divine within and around us. Families gather to offer prayers to Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and to honor new beginnings with gratitude and love.
Here at Kashi, we celebrate Diwali Puja as a time to open our hearts and invite light into our lives and community. You are invited to write your prayers for Lakshmi, the goddess of abundance and grace. We will place these prayers in the sacred dhuni as an offering, carrying your intentions into the flame of transformation and light. Together, we honor the radiance of Ma and the spirit that connects us all.

Your prayers are private, and Vajra Acharya Yashoda or Acharya Swami Krishnabai will gather them, placing them in Ma's room until Diwali. On Diwali, they will be offered into the sacred fire of Mother Laxmi.
