HAPPY VIJAYA DASHAMI 2011

May you be blessed with the divine grace of our Universal Mother on this joyous Vijaya Dashami day!

"The term' Devi' represents the Divine power which has taken the Rajasic form to suppress the forces of evil and protect the Satvic qualities. When the forces of injustice, immorality and untruth have grown to monstrous proportions and are indulging in a death-dance, when selfishness and self-interest are rampant, when men have lost all sense of kindness and compassion, the Atmic principle, assuming the Form of Shakti, taking on the Rajasic quality, seeks to destroy the evil elements. This is the inner meaning of the Dasara festival."

Sai Baba. SS. 11/91. pp. 284 & 285
