"
Vijay hi Vijay hai. (Victory is certainly ours)"
- Shri M. S. Golwalkar Guruji

Namaste,


Vijayadashami is the culmination of the Navaratra (nine nights) and marks the day when Sri Rama vanquished Ravana. The day marks the victory of good over evil. It was on this day that the Pandavas ended their period of disguise and removed their weapons from the Shami tree. The Hindu tradition has laid great stress on victory. This victory is a surety when Dharma is upheld. Keeping the special significance of this day in the Hindu tradition, Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar founded the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh on Vijayadashami day in 1925 at Nagpur. This year, Vijayadashmi falls on October 2.



Our tradition has taught us to adore and worship only those who have proved fully successful in their life-mission. A slave of circumstances has never been our ideal. The hero, who becomes the master of the situation, changes it by sheer dint of his caliber and character and wholly succeeds in achieving his life's aspirations, has been our ideal. It is such great souls, who by their self-effulgence, lit up the dismal darkness surrounding all round, inspired confidence in frustrated hearts, breathed life into the near-dead and held aloft the living vision of success and inspiration, that our culture commands us to worship.
