PM Modi’s Vijayadashami Message Lights Up India with the Spirit of Righteous Victory

India reverberated with the spirit of Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended heartfelt greetings to the nation, emphasizing the festival’s timeless message of good prevailing over evil. Celebrated on the tenth day of the Hindu lunisolar month of Ashvin, marking the culmination of Shardiya Navaratri, Vijayadashami symbolizes the triumph of righteousness and truth, drawing millions to reflect on courage, wisdom, and devotion. In a stirring message shared on X at 08:44 AM IST, Modi wished for the festival to inspire citizens to tread the path of virtue, setting the tone for nationwide festivities that unite communities in this profound cultural observance.

In his address, Modi described Vijayadashami as “a symbol of the victory of good and truth over evil and untruth,” urging Indians to draw inspiration for personal and collective growth. He expressed his warmest greetings to “family members across the country,” reinforcing the festival’s role as a unifying force in India’s diverse cultural tapestry. The term Vijayadashami, derived from ‘vijaya’ (victory) and ‘dashami’ (tenth day), encapsulates the essence of the festival, rooted in the legendary triumph of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana, as narrated in the epic Ramayana. This narrative continues to resonate deeply, with celebrations featuring vibrant Ramlila performances and the symbolic burning of Ravana effigies, signifying the eradication of malevolent forces.

Echoing the Prime Minister’s sentiments, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath extended his congratulations to devotees and residents, calling Vijayadashami “the sacred symbol of the eternal victory of truth, the righteous path, values, good conduct, and eternal principles.” In his X post, Adityanath invoked the grace of Lord Shri Ram to illuminate hearts with righteousness, reflecting the festival’s spiritual significance in fostering moral clarity. His message highlighted Uttar Pradesh’s deep connection to the Ramayana, with cities like Ayodhya hosting grand celebrations, including processions and prayers, that draw thousands of devotees seeking blessings for prosperity and harmony.
