Shubho Vijaya

[agathafan]

Today is 'Vijaya Dashami'. 'Durga Puja' is ending today.
Durga Puja is our main festival.

This the festival of the demolition of all evil forces or energies by the good force or energies, which is symbolically showed as Devi Durga ('shaktirupini')
is killing the Mahishasura (evil force).

Coincidentally 'Vagaban Rama' killed Asura(demon) king 'Ravana' on 'Vijaya Dashami' with the blessings of 'Devi Durga'.

It is astonishing to find that in ancient India women are considered as the source of all power and energies and a man (Mahishasura) was killed by a woman because she is more powerful.

Today we greet everyone with saying 'Shubho Vijaya'(shubho=wishing good, vijaya=victory) and sweets. We touch our elders feet and they give us blessings.

So 'Shubho Vijaya' to all.

Perhaps it is not so astonishing. After all the first powerful person in your life was your mother - a woman! She was able to overcome all difficulties on your behalf.

In Greek mythology the female gods are active and powerful, also intelligent and sly.
