LIGHT is the first and foremost manifestation of God. Lighting a lamp is like an invitation to the ALMIGHTY to come and bless us. Before we start to say your prayer,we lit a lamp, pray the LIGHT FIRST and then do our choice prayer. It drives away the devil in us and around and also drive out our ignorance, fear, misery and suffering.
