दीपावली, हनुक्का और क्रिसमस — क्या सबका संदेश एक ही है?

दीपावली, हनुक्का और क्रिसमस — क्या सबका संदेश एक ही है? मानव सभ्यता के इतिहास में “प्रकाश” हमेशा से ज्ञान, सत्य और ईश्वर का प्रतीक रहा है। अंधकार से प्रकाश की यात्रा केवल भौतिक नहीं, बल्कि आत्मिक अर्थों में भी मानव जीवन की सबसे गहरी अनुभूति है। यही कारण है कि दुनिया के लगभग सभी धर्मों और संस्कृतियों में प्रकाश का कोई न कोई पर्व मनाया जाता है — चाहे वह भारत की दीपावली हो, […]
