Dev Diwali Ka Itihas Aur Katha
1. Tripurasur Vadh Ki Katha
Hindu dharm ke anusar, is din Bhagwan Shiv ne daitya Tripurasur ka vadh kiya tha. Tripurasur teen nagaron ka raja tha (Tripur), jahan se usne devtaon ko sataana shuru kar diya tha. Bhagwan Shiv ne uska ant karke teenon nagaron ko jalaya, aur is vijay ke bad devtaon ne prithvi par aa kar diya jalaya. Tab se yeh tithi Dev Diwali ke roop mein manayi jati hai.
2. Bhagwan Vishnu Ka Mahatva
Is din Bhagwan Vishnu ke Matsya Avatar ka bhi smaran kiya jata hai. Vishnu ji ne is roop mein vedon aur sansar ko pralaya se bachaya tha.

Antim Vichar
Dev Diwali humein yeh yaad dilata hai ki andhkaar kitna bhi gehra ho, ek diya sab kuch roshan kar sakta hai. Is din ke pooja aur daan se na sirf bhakti badhti hai, balki man mein shanti aur daya bhi jagti hai.
Deep jalana sirf parampara nahi, ek prarthana hai — ki hum apne andar ke andhkaar ko roshan kar sakein.
