Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Reminder from the Calendar of /cal VIJAYA DASHAMI/DUSSHERA Monday October 2, 2006 All Day (This event does not repeat.) Notes: Vijaya Dashami (The 10th Day of Victory) marks the victory of the Devi over Mahishaasura. It is celebrated in the lunar month of Ashwin (usually in September or October) from the Shukla Paksha Pratipada (the next of the New moon day of Bhadrapada) to the Dashami or the tenth day of Ashwin. The basic purpose behind this festival is to worship the Feminine Principle of the Universe in the form of the Divine Mother to remind the teachings of the Taitareeya Upanishad, "Matru Devo Bhava." Its social essence further reminds us to honor & respect all women, who are Her incarnations on Earth.
