मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम प्रभु श्री राम के अयोध्या आगमन की पुण्य स्मृति से आलोकित यह महापर्व हमें सेवा, समरसता और सद्भाव के साथ लोक-कल्याण के पथ पर अग्रसर होने की प्रेरणा देता है।

कोई आंगन अंधकार में न रहे, कोई जीवन आशा से वंचित न रहे, यही दीपोत्सव का लोक-मंगलकारी संकल्प है।

प्रभु श्री राम एवं माता जानकी की कृपा से सर्वत्र सुख, शांति और समृद्धि का आलोक व्याप्त हो।

जय जय सियाराम।
