Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is not just about lamps, sweets, and celebrations—it’s a spiritual reminder of victory over darkness, ignorance, and negativity. Lighting a Diya (lamp) on Diwali holds deep symbolic meaning in Vedic tradition, representing the light of wisdom and purity dispelling the shadows of ego and sin.
Before lighting the Diya, many devotees chant a sacred Sanskrit prayer—“Shubham Karoti Kalyanam”, a timeless shloka dedicated to the divine light (Deepa Jyoti). This prayer connects us with the spiritual essence of Diwali, invoking health, prosperity, and peace.
शुभं करोति कल्याणमारोग्यं धनसंपदा ।
शत्रुबुद्धिविनाशाय दीपज्योतिर्नमोऽस्तुते ॥
दीपज्योतिः परब्रह्म दीपज्योतिर्जनार्दनः ।
दीपो हरतु मे पापं दीपज्योतिर्नमोऽस्तुते ॥
Shubham Karoti Kalyaannam Aarogyam Dhana-Sampadaa |
Shatru-Buddhi-Vinaashaaya Deepa-Jyotir-Namostute ||
Deepa-Jyotih Para-Brahma Deepa-Jyotir-Janardanaḥ |
Deepo Haratu Me Paapam Deepa-Jyotir-Namostute ||
“I bow to the sacred flame that brings auspiciousness, prosperity, good health, and abundance. May this divine light destroy negative thoughts and the darkness of ignorance.
I salute the light of the lamp that represents the Supreme Brahman and Lord Vishnu Himself. May this divine flame remove my sins and guide me towards righteousness.”
मैं दीपक की रोशनी को नमस्कार करता हूँ, जो शुभता, कल्याण, अच्छा स्वास्थ्य, धन और समृद्धि प्रदान करती है।
यह दीपक शत्रु बुद्धि का विनाश करता है और जीवन में प्रकाश लाता है।
दीपक की ज्योति स्वयं परम ब्रह्म है — यह भगवान विष्णु का प्रतीक है।
यह प्रकाश मेरे सारे पापों को दूर करे और जीवन में शुद्धता, भक्ति और ज्ञान का संचार करे।
In Vedic Astrology and Sanatan Dharma, fire (Agni) is a purifier. It connects the human soul with divine consciousness. Lighting a Diya is not merely a ritual—it’s a form of offering gratitude to the Divine Light that governs all creation.
When we chant “Shubham Karoti Kalyanam” before lighting the lamp, we align our intentions with positive cosmic energy. The flame represents:
Shubham (Auspiciousness): Brings purity and positive vibrations.
Kalyanam (Welfare): Invites harmony and balance in relationships and home.
Aarogyam (Health): Symbolizes physical and spiritual healing.
Dhana Sampada (Wealth): Attracts prosperity and abundance.
Shatru Buddhi Vinashaya: Destroys inner negativity, ego, and jealousy.
During Diwali, every home lights lamps to welcome Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha, the divine energies of prosperity and wisdom. Chanting this shloka enhances the vibration of your space and creates an aura of peace, devotion, and abundance.
When chanted with faith:
It removes negative energies.
It strengthens the connection with divine light.
It invites success, health, and good fortune.
The sound vibrations of Sanskrit mantras harmonize the mind and environment, making your home spiritually charged and radiant.
Clean the area where you will place the Diya.
Face East or North while lighting the lamp (for positive energy flow).
Use pure ghee or sesame oil in your lamp.
Light the Diya with full concentration and chant the shloka slowly:
“Shubham Karoti Kalyanam Aarogyam Dhana Sampadaa,
Shatru Buddhi Vinashaya Deepa Jyotir Namostute.”
Close your eyes and visualize divine light filling your home and heart.
According to Vedic Astrology, lighting a Diya balances the Fire element (Agni Tatva), which governs energy, courage, and transformation. It also strengthens the influence of Sun (Surya) in the horoscope, enhancing confidence, vitality, and success.
Regularly chanting this mantra brings:
Peace in family and relationships.
Removal of fear, confusion, and negativity.
Strengthened focus during meditation.
Attraction of divine blessings and spiritual upliftment.
The “Shubham Karoti Kalyanam” shloka is more than a Diwali ritual—it’s a reminder of our inner light. As you light your lamps this Diwali, remember that the real flame burns within you, guiding you toward purity, wisdom, and joy.
Let each Diya you light become a prayer — a wish for happiness, health, and peace for all beings.
May this Diwali illuminate your life with divine light, prosperity, and positivity.
Happy Deepavali! 🪔
