About Candle Vigil

Posted on at


We have people all around us arguing why do you light candles its christian's ritual and so on. People may not agree with me but i thought about this thing and the opinion presented here is totally my own and i am not trying to persuade anyone that they should light candles or whatever. Chairaagh is a term we all know of very well, we have observed people saying for their children or for their head person of their home "Yeh to humare ghar ka chiraagh hain". Or when somebody of grim importsnce in their household dies we observe statements as "Ghar ka Chiraagh bujh geya" and so on. Now what is this chiragh or why do we observe people saying it, its basically the light of hope, with the help of which their life was enlightened, their problems were solved and they think their future is secure. We light candles as a gesture when somebody dies or somebody is facing injustice, no matter what the situation is we light those candles as a sign of hope that the person facing the subject problem is somebody's chiragh who will illuminate their days and nights with its purity and sincere devotion, that that person is a hope for all of us. Losing those children in Peshawar Attack and lighting candles for them can be narrowed down into two. 1. They were the light Pakistan needed to illuminate the coming generations from the surrounding darkness of illetracy and the darkness from within to become better civilians of this country. 2. We are lighting these candles in hope that this incident won't occur again and justice will be provided to departed souls. This is how the GESTURE of lighting candles is observed everywhere not that we are following a ritual blindly but we were understanding its concepts because everybody is mature enough to know the difference between right and wrong and not following a belief without having some research about it.
