Diwali For Kids - Life Lessons and Values to Learn For Children
Diwali, the festival of lights is celebrated by everyone with great zeal and zest. The five day long
festival signifies the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil and new beginnings. People
celebrate this auspicious day by lighting clay diyas, decorating their houses with lights, and
making rangoli. This is one of the festivals for which everyone including kids, adults and elders
wait for a long time. As we know that more than half of our population belongs to kids and
teenagers that willone day become the future of our country. So the education and learning they
would get from the occasions and culture of our country remains a matter of concern.
Carrying a rich history of values
Coming from a rich history and culture, there is not much left that our ancient books do not hold.
Epics like Ramayana based on the story of Shri Ram have been a legend and people themselves
as kids have been listening to it by their elders and kids watching the animated version of it by
the movies these days. When one lets the wisdom of these epics fill the aspiring young mind of
the individual, one gets to know that there is much more to be learned, the hardship faced by
Sita smiling and waiting for Rama in belief to come and rescue her is a sign of trust. The
selflessness shown by Lord Hanuman to his Lord shows devotedness. The brotherhood shown by
Lord Lakshman is the path every young one should walk on. And much such evidence of values
can be learnt and taken from the epic.
The story behind Diwali
Diwali as we all know is the day when Lord Rama with Sita came to Ayodhya after fourteen long
years of exile. The country celebrated the victory over the evil Ravana, and they lit diyas as a
gesture to welcome their king. Since then, Diwali is celebrated by all the Indians over the world.
Many other religions also contribute their participation on this beautiful occasion. Starting the
tradition of Diwali from Satyug, the means of celebrating it might have changed a bit but the
overall meaning and sentiments behind it is still the same. In the modern Diwali celebrations,
kids are more influenced by crackers, party time, music and celebration rather than
understanding the real reason for celebration. The best CBSE schools in Surat teaches Diwali
enthusiasm and indeed a necessary element for Diwali, but the values and morals the festival is
associatedwith holds an equivocal importance. For a holisticgrowth and development, imparting
knowledge about the true meaning of festivals is important for children. Here are a few life
lessons to learn from Diwali from best ICSE schools in Thiruvananthapuram
� People light the lamps to welcome Lord Rama, Sita and Lakshman back from exile after killing
Ravana. The true meaning of Diwali is the win of good over evil. Lighting diyas and lights to
remove darkness at night showcasing that embracing light can remove the darkness of
negativity.
� At Diwali, houses are cleaned to welcome Goddess Lakshmi and pray to Goddess Lakshmi and
Lord Ganesha to draw away obstacles in life and help us grow in life. A clean place is where one
can have a peaceful state of mind and new beginnings. Diwali is based on the same ideology, to
remove negativity around us and clean not just our homes but filter out our minds as well.
� On Diwali, people share sweets with their friends, relatives and friends. Besides, a lot of people
try to help poor people in celebrating Diwali. This is the spirit of the festival of lights to help
everyone and share the good we have with everyone. It encourages people to share, contribute
and live in a happy world.
� Diwali is a five-day long festival starting from Dhanteras, on which people buy new clothes,
jewellery and items denoting a fresh start and new beginnings.
Diwali is all about removing our inner darkness, illuminating our world, helping everyone and
starting new beginnings. The minds of children are inquisitive and eager to learn. It is important
to nourish their excitement of Diwali in a way that boosts their moral growth. Children learn the
best from what they see so we should celebrate Diwali in a way that teaches them the real
meaning of Diwali. Happy Diwali!
