Friends, Diwali is the most popular festival among all Indians from centuries. This festival aims to celebrate two events. First return of Prabhu Ramchandraji to Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile and secondly attaining Moksha by Mahaveerswami. Business community added third event of Laxmipuja as Laxmi goddess might have visited earth to participate in any of two events as above. Lighting added by sweets and crackers are symbols to express joy for all those events. Same day is also marked for Guru Gatauswami attaining Kewaldyan. However a true Jain celebrate it by reciting 108 times holy Veerstuti "Puchhisunam" and "Uttaradhyansutra " in full or 36th last chapter
