Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is a major Hindu festival celebrated across India. It marks the victory of Bhagwan Ram over the demon king Ravana, representing the triumph of good over evil. Dussehra is observed with grand processions, the burning of Ravana effigies, and cultural performances depicting episodes from the Ramayana (known as Ramlila).

1. Dussehra Quote
The victory of good over evil is the ultimate
Message
It means that no matter how powerful evil forces and negative tendencies may appear, goodness will ultimately win over it. The story of Dussehra, where Prabhu Rama defeats Ravana, gives this message.
Children, we can learn this from our surroundings. We have seen that some children who bully others and trouble other children, appear powerful and strong, but they are ultimately punished by their teachers or parents. Similarly, good actions will always win over the bad ones.
2. Dussehra Quote
Wrongdoing may seem powerful but righteousness and truth always win in the end
Message
It means that dishonesty and untruthfulness may bring temporary gains but they do not last long. Ultimately, justice, good character and truth will triumph over false. We know that despite Ravana being very powerful, his dishonesty and fraud did not last long. Prabhu Ram was ultimately victorious as he followed the path of truth and morality.
Children, say someone cheats in an exam or in a competition, he/she may score very well or win the competition but remember ultimately a true person will be victorious in life.

Defeat all obstacles in life to be successful

Life is filled with various hurdles but by tackling each obstacle head-on, you build strength and wisdom to be successful.

Children, say you face challenges in making friends or difficulties in a subject, have fear of speaking in public, performing on stage, and many more, don’t be scared of them. Face them like Shri Ram faced every challenge to be successful.

To be happy and joyful in life burn your worries like the effigy of Ravana

Stick to morals and good character

It means living by values such as honesty, kindness, respect, and fairness, regardless of the circumstances. Prabhu Shri Rama is the epitome of morality and goodness. In spite of being deceived and insulted by Ravana, he always maintained honesty and respect for Ravana and followed his ethics.
Children, say if you find something that doesn't belong to you, you should try to return it because that's the honest thing to do. If someone is being mean to a friend, you stand up for him because that's the kind thing to do. Always be caring and respectful to your friends and family.

Apply your wisdom to always do the right thing in life

8. Dussehra Quote
Strong determination is the key to success
Message
This means that having a strong will is crucial for achieving goals. Without determination, it's easy to give up when faced with challenges, so, strong determination is a must to be victorious.

Children, it's important to be strong and determined to study, play outdoors, and practice our hobbies every day. Consistency in these activities is key to achieving success and victory in life.
