Unveiling the Significance of Vijayadashami

But what makes Vijayadashami so special? Let’s delve into the history, mythologies, and profound symbolism associated with this auspicious day.

What Is Vijayadashami?

In South India, Vijayadashami follows the conclusion of Navratri and the Saraswathi Puja, marking the 10th day of victory. This year, this auspicious day falls on October 24th.

Mythological Significance of Vijayadashami
1. On this day, it is believed that Goddess Durga triumphed over the demon Mahishasura.
2. In the North, it is celebrated as Dussehra, commemorating the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana, as narrated in the Ramayana.
3. According to the Mahabharata, Arjuna defeated the Kaurava army single-handedly during their exile in the kingdom of Matsya.
What unites these legends is the theme of victory of good over evil, the transition from darkness to enlightenment, and the pursuit of knowledge. Hence, people celebrate this day by initiating education and acquiring new skills, whether in academics, sports, arts, music, and beyond.

What Happens on Vijayadashami?

This is the day when people commence new endeavors:
• Embark on academic and extracurricular pursuits.
• Make new investments in land, stocks, gold, and more.
• Learn new skills, including music, dance, and instruments.

Why Start Your Musical, Dance or Art Journey on Vijayadashami?

On Saraswathi Puja, South Indians place musical instruments before the idol of Goddess Saraswathi, seeking her blessings. These instruments are treated with reverence and not touched on that day. However, the day after, on Vijayadashami, people begin studying and practicing music, believing that whatever they commence on this auspicious day will lead to excellence throughout the year.
Music holds a special place, as Goddess Saraswathi herself is depicted holding a veena. Learning music during this auspicious time can be profoundly rewarding.
