Everybody goes through life and wonders what it is that we're supposed to be doing. Most of us go through life and accept what happens to us, as destiny, with no idea of how to live life to its fullest potential.

The word Deepawali is derived from two Sanskrit words, "Deep" and "Aavali". Among these, Deep means "Diya" (or light which represents knowledge) and Awali means "chain". That is, Deepawali means given or series of lights. It is also called Deepotsav or Deepavali or Diwali. Of these, the term Diwali is most commonly used. The meaning of Deepawali also reflects the meaning of the name of Bharat (India). Bha means "light and knowledge" and Rat means "devoted". Deepawali means a series of lamp i.e. series of knowledge and Bharat means dedicated to knowledge and light.
