THE AISMV BULLETIN October, 2020 Page3 JUNIOR JUNCTION ARTICLE SHUBH SRIVASTAVA IV-A Festival which symbolizes the victory of virtue over evil Dussehra is one of the most popular festivals of India celebrated in almost every part of the country. It is celebrated for a period of ten days, beginning on the first day of the month of Ashwin. Dussehra is celebrated to commemorate Rama’s victory over the demon King Ravana whose effigy is burnt with great jubilation. On this occasion Rama's story is enacted by the actors on the stage. It is known as `Ramlila'. In Mysore, two processions are taken out which are a splendid sight, full of grandeur. In Calcutta, this festival is called `Durga Puja', for Durga, the Goddess of Power, had helped Rama in his fight against Ravana. In Gujarat it is known as` Navratra', festival of nine nights. This grand festival precedes SHORT STORY HELPFULNESS SAKSHAM IV-C Once there was a girl named Riley. The only thing was that she could not walk. One day at the school the teacher had written ‘Sports Day’. Riley sat outside the school on a bench. She heard a bird chirping. She checked below the bench and saw a bird. She helped the bird back to its nest. Once the mother bird saw the baby bird back in the nest, the mother bird said to Riley, “ Thank you for saving my child. Take these shoes, they are magical.” She took the shoes, wore it and suddenly she could walk. She went to her parents without her crutches. Moral: Always help people.

  • Significance of Navratri

    Significance of Navratri

    Significance of Navratri The 9 divine nights are significant with three days each devoted to worship of Ma Durga- the Goddess of Valour, Ma Lakshmi – the Goddess of Wealth and Ma Saraswati- the Goddess of Knowledge. The tenth day celebrated on 08 October is know as Vijay Dashmi (Vijay meaning victory and Dash means ten) is to worship, chant and pray to the mother giving thanks to her for showering her mercy upon us and to celebrate the victory that we have achieved over our enemies which as the vices contained within ourselves. One should make full use of these 10 days to take stock of one’s life and make changes to be a good, loving and caring person. Observing the period ritualistically and not wanting Mother Durga to assist and free us from her clutches of repeated birth, old age, disease and death will mean that this is a religious observance and will not benefit us in anyway whatsoever. The word Durga is derived from the word Durg which means prison house. Therefore the name Durga refers to that great personality who is in charge of and controller of the Karma of every human being on this planet. Our prayer to the mother should therefore be that she frees us from this prison so as to allow us to go back home, back to Godhead. She is compared to the warden of a prison who will recommend parole to that person who has asked to be forgiven for his offences and have made amends to lead a better life.
