Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav performs in 'Shastra Pooja' at CM House on Vijayadashami

Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav conducted traditional Shastra Pooja at his residence, extending Dussehra greetings and urging public welfare resolutions.

"Let us all celebrate the victory of truth over falsehood - CM Mohan Yadav"

Bhopal, October 2

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav performed the Shastra Pooja at the Chief Minister's residence in Bhopal on the occasion of Vijayadashmi on Thursday and prayed for the welfare of the public.

Yadav also extended greetings to the people of the state and the country on the occasion of Vijayadashmi, also known as Dussehra and urged the public to make a resolution to do only good things in life.

"Today, on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra, I extend my greetings and best wishes to the people of the entire state and country. It is said that many years ago, Lord Ram established the 'Ram Rajya' on this day by defeating Ravana. Additionally, there is another significance to this day: Maa Jagdamba (Goddess Durga) is believed to have started Dussehra by defeating Mahishasura. Let us all celebrate the victory of truth over falsehood, not only honouring the victory but also making a lifelong resolution to do only good things throughout our lives," the Chief Minister said.

Shastra Puja is a traditional ritual performed mainly on Vijayadashami (Dussehra) and during Navratri. It involves worshipping weapons, tools, and instruments, symbolizing respect for the means of livelihood and protection.

Dussehra is one of the most significant Hindu festivals in India, and marks the victory of good over evil and is celebrated in diverse ways across the country. It commemorates Lord Rama's victory over the demon king Ravana, symbolising the triumph of truth and righteousness over arrogance and evil.

The festival also inspires people to conquer their inner evils like anger, greed, pride, and jealousy, and to uphold the values of truth, virtue, and righteousness.
