What is DEEPAK?
 Ans: Deepak, the holy flame, is a prime element in Hindu worship, because it symbolises the matchless, divine light of Bhagwan. Any auspicious occasion begins with the kindling of a divo.

Every Hindu aspires for the divine light of knowledge and freedom from the darkness of ignorance. And with these noble sentiments kindles the holy flame on each new day.
