Everyday sun rises to give us a message that light will always beat the darkness. Lets follow the same natural rule and enjoy the victory of good over evil.... HaPpY DuSsEhRa
History in brief....
Among Hindus, Lord Rama is considered to have a culmination of all the best qualities that a human can possess, required to make this world a happy place. Both the festivals of Diwali and Dussehra are celebrated in honor of Lord Rama and his morals. Dussehra is the tenth day of Navratri, in the month of Ashwin-kartik, while Diwali is celebrated 20 days ahead of Dussehra. Lord Rama emerged victorious in a ferocious battle against Ravana who had abducted Sita. Inspite of all powers that Ravana possessed, it was ultimately the good intensions of Lord Rama that saw the face of Victory. This is generally depicted on the day of Dussehra by burning the effigies of Ravana and Lord Rama’s bow that kills him. People every year on this day get the moral of leading a righteous life.
Dussehra also marks the day when Goddess Durga killed the demon Mahishasura. She had fought a long and ferocious battle against him, who had the boon of not getting harm with weapons. Ultimately, it was “the good” Goddess Durga who won on this day after a 10 day long battle.
We've been listening these legends as our bed-time stories...
But what actually does it mean..??
Ever thought of it..??
Just burning the dummies.. and polluting the environment is not a festive spirit...
Everyone has a devil lurking inside somewhere.
The devil- our weak point- needs to be chased away. Find the devil inside you and get rid of it. What better time than Dussehra to think about the ridding oneself of the devil..????
