I think of all the evils faced by humanity

Let the morning puja be completed Joshiji, let the purohit tear away the thread. You don't know it. Durga is still in her father's house. Instead you kill Ravana and say Happy dusera.

This day is significant to me in the sense that it provides me with the impulse of doing work again and alerts me that festive days are over.
Well you can take a break in your work,but go back to work as soon as time comes.

This day represents bhagwaan Ram's victory over Ravan. In other words it gives us hope. It says that there will be Victory of truth and goodness over bad.

Thank you for your wishes.To day it is a victory of Goddess Bhavani over the evil demon.I hope that Goddess Bhavani will shower HER blessings on all humanity & I pray for the welfare of all and peace and prosperity.
