Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 OM NAMO NARAYANAYA OM AIM HRIM KLIM CHAAMUNDAAYEI VICHCHAI. Dear Das Gupta Ji, and Other Gurus,Members of this list and students, I also wish you all HAPPY DUSSERA AND PRAY FOR MOTHER DURGA'S BLESSINGS ON ALL MANKIND TO GET RID OF THE SUFFERINGS. With Shri Hari Vaayu Naama Smarana, Ramadas Rao. "jk.dasgupta" <jk.dasgupta wrote: !! HAPPY DASSERA !! to ALL GURUS, JYOTISHAS AND GROUP MEMBERS may joy and prosperity be on your way.....Forever.. According to Hindu mythology, a very powerful Asura-demon king Mahishasura prayed to the almighty and asked for a boon - that his death should be at the hands of a woman only and by no other human being or any form of living being. On being granted his wish, he started inflicting atrocities on all human beings on the earth. He considered himself to be immortal as he thought that it was impossible for a woman or any female form of a human being to be powerful enough to kill him. When his cruelty became unbearable, people prayed to Sakthi the consort of Lord Shiva to save them from the demon and to provide them with salvation. Sakthi then took the form of Durga and slayed the demon. The fight between Durga and Mahishasura is said to have lasted for nine days and nights (Navaratra). Navaratra & Dassera or Vijayadasami, as it is popularly called, is celebrated all over India with pomp and gaiety. It is essentially a festival of victory - victory of good over evil. It is significant that the Lord Rama invoked the blessings of the divine mother Goddess Durga (spiritual or scriptural knowledge), before actually going out to battle with demon king Ravana (ego & pride of might). In burning the effigies of Ravna on Dassera, the people are asked to burn the evil within themselves, and thus follow the path of virtue and goodness, bearing in mind the instance of Ravana, who despite all his might and majesty was destroyed for his evil ways. It must be remembered that Ravana was a great scholar and an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, but the very powers that were bestowed on him for his steadfast devotion proved to be his undoing, due to his gross misuse of the same.
