Navaratri- URGENT

[Guest guest]

Respected members:

 

Navaratri is celebrated as Dasara in North India.

It is the people's tradition there to burn effigy on

Vijayadasami day. Their belief is Rama killed Ravana

on Vijayadasami day.

 

I urgently need this information. Can any one quote

this pramana slokam from Valmiki Narayana? I need it

to day to answer a group. Thank you

Dear Sriman Rajagopalan :

 

The Text for Raam Leela as practised

in the Northern parts of India is:

 

Asvinya sthithE pakshE DasamyAm VijayOtsava:

KartavyO VaishNavai: sardam sarvatra vijayArtina

 

- - - -Bhavishya Uttara PurANa : 15/661 ( Hari Bhakthi VilAsa)

 

(Meaning): If any VaishNava wants victory everywhere ,

then he should celebrate the Vijaya Dasami day

( Sukla Paksha Dasami in Asvina month) . This day

is the victory day of Lord Hari.

 

Tulsi Das also makes reference to Vijaya Dasami as

the day , when LOrd Raamachandra killed RaavaNan .

 

As you are familiar , Vijaya Dasami in each part of

India is celebrated with different traditions :

Durga pooja in Bengal , Golu and AksharAbhyAsam

in Tamil Nadu/AP/Karnataka , Aayur Devi worship by

the SiddhAs , Garbha and Dandiya dance in Gujerat

etc .

 

The central message is the victory over the forces of

evil , darkness and Aj~nAnam . The spirit of Vijaya

dasami has to be remembered every day .
