Festivals and celebrations foster peace

Festival and achievement celebrations always bring pomp and joy to all people. Life without celebration is unimaginable and boring too; Because the celebration makes people mingle and exchange ideas and experiences. In the process, the stains of strained relationships and mistrust dissolve while the seeds of mutualism and conviviality are sown. The most beneficial result of such celebrations is peace.

Peace has become a way of life and culture in India, the seat of the oldest religious Hinduism in the world. This religion provides opportunities in countless ways for celebrations and festivities throughout the year. Diwali is the only festival in India where everyone, regardless of their religion, nationality and culture, feels the spirit of unity. It is the occasion to nurture and strengthen the bonds of love and friendship. During festivals, people visit places of worship, perform prayers, meet friends and family, and share the latest happenings around them.

Special occasions also make people celebrate and greet each other. Personal celebrations arise when one gets married or becomes a parent or grandparent, or when a person gets a job or a promotion, or when a person goes on a trip, or buys a new house, or such remarkable moments in life . During the celebrations, family, friends, and neighbors are invited to share in the joy and happiness. Giveaways and gifts are given to mark the celebration. Community festivals and gatherings offer an opportunity to celebrate on a societal level. Classic examples are the harvest festival, Independence Day, New Year’s Day and Kumbhmela. May Day is the only occasion that unites workers from all over the world.

Festivals and celebrations provide opportunities for people, regardless of their social, economic and religious backgrounds, to realize the happiness of being a family. Only the realistic and voluntary association of souls produces morality, compassion and harmony between people. Unity and freedom cannot be achieved by sheer force or compulsion, but with love and care. This is what all religions prescribe as well. Culture is the result of the mixture of hearts and heads.

Festivals also serve as a source of prosperity. The fireworks, dolls, flowers and various other goods and services used during the celebrations generate paid employment for millions of people residing in different countries. Trade and commerce market their wares by sponsoring the events. People with good talents and skills can benefit from the competitions and fairs that are organized during the festivals. Thanks to festivals and carnivals, many leading actors, models, singers, dancers, and TV hosts became the center of attention.
