Sunsets are amazing as they show up the sky in so many colours.
It is not the
same all over and the beauty of Creation is that sunsets do look different in
places -although mostly we do see reddish streaks that fade into a dull orange,
leaving a sort of dull ochre glow in the sky before making way for nightfall
with sunset- then we have the Twilight period before darkness.On ships we used
to observe Amplitude, and later evening Star sight position calculations at
Twilight. this with great care as we measured in
the era of sextant navigation.
The sunset is a breathtaking visual lesson in
the colours of the varying moods and colours of the Creation at sunset.Many
singers and artists have depicted it so well
The Marathi geet by Asha Bhonsle is one such wonderful composition.

Our Ancients and Elders taught us the wisdom of lighting a Lamp in the
evening -a tiny symbol of the great Sun that gave us Light all day with a
traditional sloka.
शुभं करोतु कल्याणं आरोग्यं सुखसंपदा |
शत्रुबुद्धिविनाशाय दीपज्योतिर्नमोऽस्तु ते ||
This means, “O Auspicious and benevolent flame of the lamp. You provide us health happiness and peace and help us go across our negative tendencies (our shatru buddhi) Salutations to you
