With Dussehra 2023 around the corner, here are four incredible things you can do this Vijayadashami to celebrate in a meaningful and enriching way.
Dussehra, celebrating Lord Rama’s victory over the demon king Ravana, is associated with an auspicious tradition to worship weapons such as swords, bows and arrows.
The ritual symbolises the triumph of righteousness and reminds the world that violence should only protect what’s right, never for selfish gains.
Goddess Lakshmi is the divine source of wealth and prosperity. You can invite financial stability and abundance into your life by performing Lakshmi Puja at home or in the temple.
Chanting the powerful mantra “Om Shreem Mahalakshmiyei Namaha” during the ritual is also considered a wonderful way to set a positive financial outlook for your future.
Did you know Dussehra is an astrological way to cleanse the atmosphere of negative energies and create a more positive energy field?
You can also take a vow to walk on the path of truth on Vijayadashami as it could help you achieve your goals, overcome obstacles and live a more fulfilling life.
Legend has it the Pandavas – referring to the five legendary brothers – concealed their weapons in a shami tree during their exile and reclaimed them upon their return, symbolising victory.
The shami tree plays a significant role in Dussehra, with people known to venerate shami leaves and branches, believing it banishes negativity and ushers in good fortune.
