Gambling
is mentioned on Diwali celebrations in the story of Mahabharata. It teaches us
about taking calculated risks in life
·
In
Mahabharata, it teaches that excess of everything is bad. If Yudhishthira had
not risked Draupadi on that day while plying dice, there would not have been a
Mahabharata. The same divine dice game became a vice for that moment.
·
Even
if you lose while gambling, do not lose heart and take conscious-based
decisions. Krishna (consciousness) saving Draupadi
(material things in life) means the same.
·
On
the day of Diwali, one starts with new projects in life and taking calculated
risks makes sense.
·
Gambling
on Diwali can be a symbolic game but should not become a vice.
·
According
to mythology, Goddess Parvati enjoyed playing dice with Lord Shiva on this day.
It’s a popular saying that those who cling to virtue at this festival time,
refusing to gamble, will be reborn as donkeys. This means that its foolishness to
not take calculated risks in business.

Loosing
and winning is part of life and one must learn to balance the two states of
mind.
