Let us all light Yama Deepam.

Dear Chitra,
Dhan Theras (Trayodashi) is to-day. Please clarify if the Deepam should be lit to-day or to-morrow.

USHA

Today is Thrayodashi, but there is some "micham" tomorrow which is taken into calculation for lighting it tomorrow. This is the Pundit's explanation.
There is nothing wrong in doing it on both the days, I think !
Love & regards,
Chithra.

Dear Chitra,
Right..As you said, I will light the lamps to-day and to-morrow. I have even informed my best friend (whose husband has been in the hospital for about 3 months) to light the lamps. She was very touched when I mentioned about your explanation on Yama Deepam.
Once again, we wish you and your family a very Happy Deepavali.
Regards
USHA & FAMILY

Dear Chithra,

All these days being a malayalee , I have not celebrated Diwali. Anyway after hearing about this yama deepam, I'll also light it this year. Thanks.

I am touched by your concern for your friend. Please tell her that I will also join you in praying for her husband's good health. I always believe, more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of !
Love & regards,
Chithra.

I am glad to read your post. So long as we have the faith, it is a pleasure to follow these customs.
Love & regards,
Chithra.

Dear Chitra,
Times flies so fast...It is time to light the Yama Deepam again.
