CM Yogi offers prayers at Gorakhnath Temple
On the occasion of Vijaya Dashami, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday early morning offered prayers at the Gorakhnath Temple here.
"Hearty congratulations to all the devotees and people of the state on the occasion of Vijayadashami, a festival that symbolizes the victory of truth over untruth, religion over unrighteousness and good over evil," the CM tweeted.
The Chief Minister also said that on the occasion of Vijay Dashmi, "let us all awaken the Rama within us and be determined to end all the evils prevailing in the society."
Vijayadashami
Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami, according to the Hindu calendar is celebrated on the 10th day after the nine days of Navratri festivities in the month of Ashvina.
On this festival, life-size effigies of Ravana, his son Meghnath and brother Kumbhakarana are burnt to symbolise the victory of good over evil. Kids are told the tale of the mighty Lord Rama and how he killed Ravana in order to rescue his wife, goddess Sita. Lord Rama was accompanied by his brother Laxmana, Lord Hanuman and his army of Vanars (monkeys).
The festival is a constant reminder that no matter what happens in life, how dark things get and how much evil seems to be succeeding, in the end, goodness and righteousness always win.
Celebrate Dussehra with the thought that truth shall always win the war against evil.
Here's wishing Happy Dussehra and Vijayadashami to all!
