Narakasura and Diwali Festival

All of us know the famous story behind Deepavali. Narakasura was killed by Lord Krishna and according to his request people remembered him by firing crackers and sparklers on that day every year. In the same way Malayalees in Kerala celebrate the return of the Asura king Mahabali. He was also killed by Vamana, one of the Ten Avatars (incarnation), like Krishna. This shows that even when Asuras were killed, people celebrated his ‘return’ i.e. annual remembrance. Foreigners interpreted it wrongly. They wrote that it was a compromise between two races. But those who read Hindu history in s the scriptures knew that their interpretation was absurd. How?

The very scriptures that give the story say that Devas and Asuras were cousins. Moreover all Asura stories show that they also prayed to Hindu gods for boons. Only difference was that they did not follow the basic principles like Satya (Truth) and Rta (Rhythm ,orderly rule). Both these are empahsised in Vedas and Epics.

Krishna’s grandson Anirudh married an Asura girl. Assam King Banasura’s daughter Usha married Anirudh. Banasura was also defeated by Krishna.

As we know from Vishnu Purana, Hari Vamsa and Kalika Purana, there was a king in Assam (Kamarupa) by name Narakasura at Krishna’s times. i.e. 5000 years ago. This was the belief of Assamese as well. Huein Tsiang who visited Assam (Kamarupa) in 643 CE also said that there were 1000 generations ruling Assam before his time. So we know what foreigners wrote was wrong.

Ramayana and Mahabharata mentioned Naraka. His life was associated with Janaka and Katyayani. People mistook it for the Kings of same name in different periods. Moreover Janaka is a title for all the kings who ruled Videha.

Bhaskaravarman says that there was a gap of 3000 years between the death of Vajradatta and him. This is also confirmed what the Chinese pilgrim said about the Assamese history. All these beleifs were not foisted on them by any Araya- Dravidian racists. This was the true belief they possessed about their land.
