Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, will be celebrated this year on Saturday, October 12, 2024. This significant Hindu festival symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. According to Hindu mythology, it is the day when Goddess Durga vanquished the demon Mahishasura, and Lord Rama defeated Ravana, the demon king of Lanka, to rescue Sita Devi. Dussehra is thus a day of victory, courage, and divine blessings.

Many people consider this day highly auspicious for new beginnings, such as purchasing vehicles, properties, or valuable items. It is believed that specific remedies and rituals performed on Dussehra bring good fortune and lasting prosperity. Here are some popular rituals that can enhance various aspects of life on this sacred day:

1. Pariharas for Overcoming Obstacles

Lighting a lamp under a Jammi tree on Dussehra, especially during Navami night, is considered an auspicious act that can help resolve legal and other ongoing disputes. It is said to attract luck and blessings from the divine, aiding in the removal of obstacles from one’s path.

2. Eradicating Poverty

On Dussehra, donating a broom to a nearby temple and worshipping Goddess Lakshmi in the evening is considered highly auspicious. Additionally, offering an Aparajita flower (commonly known as the conch flower) brings peace to the household and wards off enemies. These acts are believed to bring stability and abundance into one’s life.

3. Career Advancement and Progress

Dussehra is an opportune time for those seeking growth in their careers or business ventures. Reciting the Sundarakanda from the Ramayana on this day is thought to be powerful, as it can remove obstacles and ensure success in professional endeavors.

4. Wealth and Prosperity

Sighting the Neelkantha bird, or the Indian roller, on Dussehra is believed to be extremely lucky. According to tradition, seeing this bird on Vijayadashami can increase wealth and overall happiness in life.

5. Pathway to Success

For those facing prolonged difficulties in achieving success, there is a special ritual on Dussehra. Wrap a coconut with its fiber in a yellow cloth, place it in a Ram temple with sacred thread and sweets as an offering. This ritual is thought to clear the roadblocks on the path to progress and open up new opportunities.

As we celebrate Dussehra, let us remember the teachings of courage, perseverance, and faith that this day embodies. Performing these simple yet powerful rituals can be a step towards inviting positivity, prosperity, and blessings into our lives.

Astrologically, the second and last lunar eclipse of the year began on September 18, 2024 at 6:11 am UTC and concluded at 10:17 am UTC. This eclipse lasted for 4 hours and 6 minutes, though it was not visible in India due to it being a penumbral lunar eclipse, which is not recognized in Indian astrology. As a result, the eclipse time was considered invalid for Sutaka period calculations.

During this lunar eclipse, pundits noted that while there was no Sutaka period due to the eclipse being invisible in India, there could still be an eclipse effect. Additionally, it coincided with the start of Pitru Paksha, specifically Pratipada Shraddha Karmas, a time when various religious and cultural beliefs suggest offering Tarpanam to ancestors.

In Hindu traditions, special rules are followed during eclipses, with emphasis on avoiding auspicious activities like pujas, tarpanam, or other rituals during this time. The belief is that negative energy increases during an eclipse, making it inauspicious to offer Tarpanam to ancestors, as it may anger them and lead to unfavorable outcomes instead of benefits.

Regarding Pitru Paksha, which began on September 17, 2024, and will continue until October 02, this period is dedicated to performing tarpanam, shraddha rituals, and other offerings to honor and remember ancestors. It is considered an essential time to show respect and seek blessings for the departed souls.
