Happy Dhan-Teras and Happy Deepawali to all who practice the Hindu religion and observe these days as their festivals

This day has been unique to me as I just saw an LUD on USCIS website that says that my GC application has been approved along with my dependents

I wish you all the very best and do believe that things will move for you all too in the near future.

Best of luck and thanks for being a strong community sharing your experiences on the trials and tribulations with USCIS and enriching each others knowledge.

I did get valuable insight from this forum which did help me in asking for help and getting it too which reflects in my getting this approval

thanks

Wish everyone happy diwali and hope this diwali will bring everyone much awaited Green :)
 
As far as I know the actual hindi word is Deepawli. Which is faithfully retained in Southern India where language is purer than North India which got more of influence from Muslim rulers and ultimately got changed to Diwali. Anyway whatever u call it is festival of lights everywhere whether it is south or north. Also in south INdia it is marked by som other folk lore versus north where they celebrate the return of Bhagwan Ram from Banwas or Lanka. Correct me if I am wrong.

I am afraid you are wrong mogombo1... South Indians celeberate the
day when Lord Krishna got rid of the Asur.. The North Indians celeberate
the day when Lord Krishna came back after killing Asur.

That's why South Indians always celeberate Deepavali the day before
the North Indians celeberate.

Good luck

I think are not right even for South India but trust me that I was right for north India being north Indian with parents from UP. Unless there is another version of Diwali u r referring to for instance Gujarati or Marathi, that I dont know of.
Well even in North India we celebrate 2 days for Diwali. I think it is mix of every culture now days.

North INDIA: It is celebrated to mark the victory of RAM OVER RAVAN.

As far as I know in Mahabharat Krishna did not kill anyone but helped kill kauraws. ANd one must not confuse RAM with KRISHNA they belonged 2 different eras. RAM's era (Ramayan) was older than KRISHNAs (Bhagwad Gita or Mahabharat).
