 I wish you an abundant and happy Dussehra in 2023!

 

The Hindu festival of Du, additionally referred to as Vijayadashami, is a major and joyful celebration in India. It marks the triumph of goodness above wickedness and of light over darkness. The auspicious day is celebrated throughout the country with great zeal and intensity. As we prepare to celebrate Dussehra in 2023, now is an excellent opportunity to ponder the core value and significance of this festival.

 Dussehra commemorates Lord Rama's victory over the evil king Ravana, as recorded in his epic Ramayana. It represents the victory of virtue, reality, or versity against wickedness and adharma. Dussehra is celebrated in many parts of India with distinct traditions and customs, but the core theme stays the same: the final victory of good.

The event is frequently connected with the production of the play Ram Lila, which is a series of plays reenacting Lord Rama's life and adventures. These theatrical spectacles draw communities together, and individuals of all ages take part in the epic's recounting. The dramatic conclusion to Ram Lila finishes with the burning of Ravana effigies, signifying the defeat of evil forces.

 Dussehra is a reminder to vanquish the demonic forces inside us—our vices, greed, vanity, and rage. It is an opportunity to reflect and resolve to live an existence that embraces reality, kindness, and moral ideals.

 The exchanging of sincere wishes as well as greetings between friends and family is one of the most pleasurable features of Dussehra. The celebration is a time for people to share their affection, happiness, and good fortune. The atmosphere of camaraderie and celebration is palpable if you are attending church, participating in neighborhood celebrations, or just engaging in conversation with loved ones.

 Therefore, for this Dussehra under 2023, let us come together in an atmosphere of goodness and happiness. Let us embrace the principles that this event reflects as we aspire to be better people. As we greet one another with "It's Dussehra," might this be truly a celebration of our victory against our own inadequacies, but might the illumination and reality ever beam bright in our lives?

 May Lord Rama's and Goddess Durga's blessings bring you pleasure, prosperity, and success. Dussehra in 2023!
