[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=5) Lord Shiva said this.

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=8) In the previous episode, Lord Shiva said that on Diwali night, Mother Gauri won the dice game.

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=16) After midnight on Diwali, when people are half asleep, the women of the city play music and drums to drive Alakshmi out of the courtyard.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=27) The next morning, Govardhan is worshipped.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=30) The cows are adorned, and that day they are neither made to carry loads nor milked.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=36) And that same night, they worship a demon, King Bali.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=43) Draw his image on the ground in five colors.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=46) Place it in the middle of the house and worship him with the whole family.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=52) Why worship a demon? Because Lord Vishnu himself joyfully gave this day to Bali.

[1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=60) And here Lord Shiva says the most important thing.

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=66) Whatever state you're in on this day, that's how your year will go.

[1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=72) If you cry, you'll spend the year crying, if you're happy, in happiness, if you eat your fill, in abundance.

[1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=79) The last day Yama, the god of death, went to eat at his sister Yamuna's home.

[1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=85) That's why on this day, people don't eat at home, they eat food prepared by their sister.

[1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=90) So don't argue at home this Diwali. The next day records the year's accounts.

[1:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=98) Lamps burn outside the home, but the light that lasts all year comes from the feelings within the home.

[1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=107) Perhaps that's why Lord Shiva said Diwali wasn't a festival of lamps, but a festival of feeling.

[1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ef7qupWvV7sq/en/the-day-after-diwali-govardhan-puja-and-king-bali?t=115) All these things are explained in the Uttara Khanda of the Padma Purana.
