Tuning individual consciousness to cosmic consciousness
During nine nights and ten days, Durga is worshiped in nine different ways to fight our “inner demons” such as selfishness, lust, pride, and all our negative tendencies. On the tenth day, Vijayadashami is celebrated, the victory over those demons, such as selfless service, love, devotion, gratitude, non-violence, and all the positive qualities that human beings also have within their nature.
