Mumbai: Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is one of the most significant festivals in Hinduism. Celebrated with great enthusiasm, it falls on the tenth day of the Shukla Paksha in Ashwin, marking the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana. Symbolising the triumph of good over evil, this day also sees devotees performing various rituals, including the burning of Ravana’s effigy, which represents the destruction of inner vices.
According to the Panchang (Hindu calendar), the Dashami Tithi of Ashwin Shukla Paksha will begin at 10:59 AM on October 12, 2024, and end at 9:08 AM on October 13, 2024. Therefore, Dussehra will be celebrated on October 12 this year.
While the celebration centres around the defeat of Ravana, performing specific remedies on Dussehra is believed to bring health, prosperity, and relief from various challenges in life.
6 Dussehra Remedies to Perform in 2024
1. Remedy for Health
If you’re seeking relief from health issues, Dussehra is the perfect time to invoke blessings for recovery. One powerful remedy is reciting the Sundarkand (a chapter from the Ramayana) with devotion. Alternatively, you can hold a coconut in your hand and chant the Hanuman Chalisa, focusing on the verse, “Nase rog hare sab peera, japat nirantar Hanumat veera” seven times while moving the coconut over the patient’s head. After completing the chant, throw the coconut into the Ravana Dahan (effigy burning) to symbolically remove illness.
2. For Business Growth
On Dussehra, if you’re hoping for success in your business, donate a coconut wrapped in yellow cloth, along with sweets and sacred threads, to a Brahmin. This ritual is said to bring financial prosperity and open up new avenues for growth in your business.
3. Relief from Saturn’s Influence (Sade Sati)
If you’re going through a challenging phase due to Saturn’s transit (Sade Sati), performing a specific ritual on Dussehra can bring relief. Light 11 oil lamps under a Shami tree and offer prayers to mitigate the harsh effects of Saturn, which is believed to bring relief from ongoing difficulties and help overcome obstacles.
4. The Power of Secret Charity
Dussehra is a day for practising charity, with secret donations being highly encouraged. Whether it’s food, clothes, or money, discreetly offering these to a Brahmin or a person in need on this day is said to bring peace and harmony to your household, along with eradicating poverty.
5. Participate in Ravana Dahan
Taking part in the Ravana Dahan is a symbolic act that represents the victory of good virtues over evil. By participating in the effigy burning, you not only symbolise the defeat of Ravana but also vanquish your inner vices, allowing for personal growth and improvement.
6. Remedy for Financial Problems
If you’re facing financial difficulties, a simple remedy on Dussehra can help improve your situation. Donate a broom to a temple in the evening, while invoking the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. This act is believed to remove economic troubles and pave the way for financial stability.
Significance of Dussehra
Apart from the well-known celebration of Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana, Dussehra is also dedicated to the worship of Lord Kubera (the god of wealth) and Goddess Lakshmi. By offering prayers to these deities, devotees believe that they can ensure a constant flow of wealth, prosperity, and overall happiness in their households.
