Diwali is more than happiness and prosperity. It is the festival of lights. It is also a time of spiritual regeneration, positive change, and new beginnings.




Explaining the deeper significance of the festival, Anuradha Sharda, Vedic Astrologer, Tarot Coach, and Founder of Occult Science Pvt. Ltd., highlights the spiritual and astrological importance of Diwali and Lakshmi Pujan .




"Diwali and Lakshmi Pujan represent a profound moment of spiritual renewal and cosmic alignment. Occurring on Amavasya (the New Moon), this night signifies the victory of inner light over ignorance and darkness," she says.




Lakshmi Pujan invites Goddess Lakshmi into our lives not just for material wealth, but for Ashta Lakshmi, the eight sacred dimensions of prosperity, including health, wisdom, courage, patience, and spiritual growth.




Astrologically, lighting diyas at midnight clears negative energies, balances planetary influences, and invites the harmonious blessings of Venus and Jupiter.




Traditionally, lighting at least 11 oil diyas on Diwali night, including a special four-wick Chaumukhi diya dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, invites divine positivity, wards off negativity, and attracts maximum blessings.




As you offer prayers to Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha, you strengthen your positive aura and set intentions for new beginnings.




"May this Diwali illuminate your path with divine grace, peace, and eternal abundance."
