Celebrate Indian festival Dussehra with Indian food, songs and Yoga.

The Dussehra festival is a celebration of the victory of good over evil. The day marks the end of Navaratri and is known as Vijayadashami, or the "Day of Victory."
Importance and Mythology of Dussehra
The festival has profound spiritual and cultural significance, with two main mythological narratives:

• Triumph of Rama over Ravana:
• In North India, Dussehra celebrates the day Lord Rama (virtue) defeated the demon king Ravana (ego/evil).
• It symbolizes the ultimate triumph of Dharma (righteousness) over Adharma (injustice).
• Celebrations often include burning effigies of Ravana to represent the destruction of negativity.
• Triumph of Goddess Durga over Mahishasura:
• In Eastern India (as Durga Puja), it marks the victory of the Goddess Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura.
• This highlights the power of the divine feminine (Shakti) to restore cosmic order and defeat evil.
  The Meaning for Our Event
  Our immersion day captures the spirit of renewal and victory celebrated during Dussehra:
• Spiritual Purification: We begin the day with Meditation, Yoga, and Pranayama to conquer our inner "demons" (stress, ego, distraction) and seek purity.
• Cultural Connection: We will celebrate the victory of the spirit by sharing Indian food, music, and a cultural discussion about India's culture and enduring philosophy.
• Total Immersion: A day dedicated to the triumph of light over darkness, both personally and culturally.
