Why Narakasura’s Death is Celebrated as Diwali

Sadhguru looks at the story of Narakasura and why his death is celebrated as Diwali, and explains what we can learn from the story.

Sadhguru describes the significance of Thaipusam – the most generous full moon of the year, which brings us victory and success in all aspects of life. Thaipusam is the first full moon day after the Winter Solstice, and is traditionally seen as a day of auspiciousness and grace.

Sadhguru narrates the story of how King Janaka finds his Guru in the physically deformed Ashtavakra, and the “strange” way in which he attained to his Enlightenment.
