During the first nine days of Navratri, we celebrate, honour and worship the Mother Divine in all her forms and glories. The tenth day is celebrated as Vijaydashami – meaning the day of victory. Vijaydashami means the day when all the distortions of the mind and negative tendencies fall away. This day symbolizes victory over all cravings and aversions of the mind that we had gathered through the year. On this day, we symbolically let the fire of knowledge burn away all the negativity, and we offer it all to the sacred fire in the form of Aahuti (literally meaning a sacred offering to the holy fire). By doing so, all distortions disappear and we start to blossom from deep within. Intense joy gets kindled within us, and this benefits not only us but the entire society as well. ~ Sri Sri...
Happy Dusserah
