Let the arrows fly true!
As soon as the air echoes with merrymaking, effigies are lit, and the legend of everlasting justice is retold, you know that the festival of Dussehra (Vijayadashami) has come. It is the celebration of the victory of Lord Ram over the demon king Ravana, the triumph of good over evil, and light over darkness.
🔥 Relapse, Manliness, and the Dharma Way.
Dussehra is a time of great importance, and it follows immediately after the nine days of Navaratri. This is a ritual of purification, which challenges us to overcome the ‘Ravan’ inside of us, which is our weight of negativity and stagnation. It is a day to take risks, to rededicate ourselves to Dharma (righteousness), and to celebrate the overcoming of difficulties. We glorify the restoration of peace and the emancipation from darkness.
