Vijayadashami, the festival of victory and the triumph of good over evil, holds a special place in the hearts of millions. On this auspicious day, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is all set to celebrate the foundation day of their esteemed organization with a profound Shastra Pujan ceremony. The event will take place on October 22 at Jarande Lawns, Heaven Park, Wanowrie, Pune, commencing at 6 pm.
The RSS, known for its dedication to the values of righteousness and the strength of goodness, encourages everyone to attend the Shastra Puja, organized by the Parvati Vibhag of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
Vijayadashami, often referred to as Dussehra, is a day that carries immense significance. It is a day of celebration and worship, especially dedicated to the veneration of weapons. This tradition, deeply embedded in the Hindu religion, extends to both homes and military organizations. The process of worship spans nine days of unwavering devotion, with the tenth day marking the culmination of this profound ritual.
The act of worshiping weapons on this day is not merely a tradition; it symbolizes the fervent desire for victory in every endeavor. It is an expression of respect and reverence for the tools that safeguard and uphold righteousness. This act of Shastra Pujan holds great historical and cultural importance.
In addition to the worship of weapons, Vijayadashami is also marked by the veneration of Shaktirupa Durga and Kali, representing the divine feminine energy. This dual celebration encapsulates the essence of Indian spirituality, where strength and devotion are intertwined.
One of the most legendary stories associated with Vijayadashami is the divine blessing of Chhatrapati Shivaji. Through his unwavering devotion, he pleased Goddess Durga and was granted the Bhavani sword, a symbol of valor and protection. This story serves as a timeless reminder of the power of faith and devotion.
The RSS’s organization of Shastra Pujan is a testament to their commitment to these values. It is a celebration that not only honors tradition but also signifies the enduring relevance of these principles in today’s world.
As the festival of Vijayadashami approaches, the RSS extends a warm invitation to all to join in this Shastra Pujan, a celebration of victory and righteousness.
