Dussehra: The Festival of the End of Ego and the Victory of Truth!
Pujya Maharaj Ji's short discourse. Watch the video above to hear it in full.
Complete Discourse
The Lord drew the supremely sacred Sarang bow back to his ear and nocked 31 arrows. The Lord's arrows, the unfailing ones, advanced toward Ravan, the one who had won victory's splendour. 20 arms, 10 heads in the skull, one navel. The Lord's unfailing arrows: 10 heads, 20 arms, and one navel in the pool. At the last moment he cried out loudly, "Where is Ram?" I will challenge him and defeat him, because he had taken a vow that he would play the game of enmity with the Lord. So even at the end, when he called upon the Lord, he called out in a spirit of hostility, but the Lord's calling out is itself a very great thing. At the moment of his fall, the remembrance of the Lord came to him, and as Ravan fell, the earth began to tremble.
When Ravan, the sinner against the Lord, arrived, the Lord's arrow worked its miracle. The last of the heads and arms that it had cut off, in front of Mandodari, returned from there. Mandodari too is among the great devotees (maha bhagwat), dear to the Lord. The arrow came back from there, and in front of everyone, a radiance emerged from Ravan's body, and he merged into the Lord. Seeing this, Lord Shankar, Brahma and the great gods cried, "Jai ho! Jai ho!" Brahma, and throughout the universe, the victory of Shri Ram echoed.
