All
festivals observed by Bharatiyas have a marvelous inner meaning. But men
in general view them in terms of external observances and celebrate them
with feasts and frolic. These festivals were really intended to be used
for the exclusive worship of the Divine, enjoy the bliss of that devotion
and overcome pain and sorrow. These holy days were instituted for the purpose
of getting rid of ignorance and cultivating right knowledge, the higher
wisdom and cosmic consciousness.
