Which is the correct word - "diwali" or "deepaavaLi"? by Dr. KRS Murthy

 Which is the correct word - 

"diwali" or "deepaavaLi"?    

Dr. KRS Murthy

In samskritam (Sanskrit), di is the moola beejaakshara = root seed akshara. 

di = light or bright or light emitting. di +va = light emitting person, or being or object. 

The English or the Latin word diva really comes from the samskritam origin, where the English word is used for a beautiful lady or film star, as in "She is a diva = which is pronounced in English as if it is "deeva".  

The samskritam word "dEva" is a case derivative = grammatical derivative transformation of di. 

The samskritam word deeva and also dEva are samskritam grammatical case derivatives. dEva word referred to "God" really meaning the Gods as in Indra's citizens in his amaraavati = imaginative HQ of Indra, to include, for examples gandharva, kinnara, kimpurusha, and the beautiful ladies like apsara, mEnaka (who who enticed rishi vishvaamitra, shachi = Indra's wife. 

In the true sense, dEvas only have the light form and not human-like form. 

deeva and the other samskritam case derivative deepa refer to the same thing. deepa is a popular name for girls and women. 

"aavaLi" ( notice the capital letter "L".

I have used is the akshara that comes after the series in samskritam akshala maala in the series: ya, ra, la, va, sha, Sha, sa, ha, = La, and before the last akshara in samskritam ksha) means a series, which could be a single dimensions series, or two dimensional pattern or evem the three dimensional pattern. deepaavaLi = a pattern of light or lamp, in 1, 2, or 3 dimensions. 

Thus the term "deepaavaLi" is the correct and most appropriate word or term for the Festival of Lights. 

Notice that the candle decoration is popular during the Christmas season and also Haloween in the western world that we know in the USA. 

In India, "laksha deepOtsava" is famous in temples and temple complexes, and as an example in dharmasthaLa temple in Karnataka state.  

Certainly, the words "diwali, diwaaLi", and also spelled deevaaLi popular in the Northern part of India. 

Unfortunately, the people in Northern part of India lack the samskritam sense. 

Let us conveniently blame the British and the Islamic curse for the fallacies of the people of Northern part of India!

PM Modi's Unpardonable Public Behavior in the Vatican Dr. KRS Murthy

PM Modi's Unpardonable Public Behavior in the Vatican Dr. KRS Murthy    PM Modi's Unpardonable Public Behavior in the Vatican Dr. KRS Murthy    You have all seen PM Modi's photos and videos of him publicly hugging and kissing another old single man who is the head of the Catholic Christians.  What type of acts two adult men or women do is not my concern or anyone in the USA, and similarly in other parts of the world.  What I am surprised about is that PM Modi did IT in front of the public and invited the media for all of us to see this variant behavior. Another blunder from the Hindutva leader was to invite the old man known to be propagating child molestation and quietly allowing his Catholic preacher community to follow the Catholic tradition of child molestation.  PM Modi invited the Pope to visit India. What is the role of the Pope? Convert as many people in the world as possible. The Pope will just do that in India. India will spend as a country a...
