Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 "The term Devi represents the divine power that has taken the passionate (raajasic) form to suppress the forces of evil and protect the serene (satvic) qualities. When the forces of injustice, immorality, and untruth have grown to monstrous proportions and are indulging in a death-dance, when selfishness and self-interest are rampant, when men have lost all sense of kindness and compassion, the Aathmic principle assumes the form of Sakthi, takes on the passionate (raajasic) quality, and seeks to destroy the evil elements. This isthe inner meaning of the Dasara festival. - From Swami's Divine Dasara Discourse on 18th October'1991. Om Sai Ram Add whatever you love to the India homepage. Try now!
