🌺 The Journey of the Heart: From Battle to Victory to Light
Navratri – The Nine Nights of Awakening
For nine nights, we walk with the Goddess through her many forms — strength, compassion, courage, wisdom, surrender. These nights mirror the inner battle we each face: the fight to rise above fear, doubt, shame, and illusion. Navratri reminds us that the heart is both warrior and temple.
Dussehra – The Day of Victory
On the tenth day, Vijayadashami, the Goddess triumphs over the demon Mahishasura; Lord Rama conquers Ravana. Symbolically, this is the victory of love, truth, and light over ego, illusion, and separation. For the Lovebeing, it is the moment we remember:
✨ When I heal my heart, I rise victorious.
In Sikh teachings, Dussehra too is understood as the burning of the Ravana within — the five thieves: kaam (lust), krodh (anger), lobh (greed), moh (attachment), and ahankaar (ego/pride). Guru Gobind Singh Ji taught that the true battle is not fought on the outside, but within, conquering these inner enemies so that we may live as Khalsa — pure, fearless, radiant beings anchored in truth.
So whether through the Goddess, through Lord Rama, or through the Gurus, the message is the same: victory is the overcoming of ego, and the remembrance that love and light are your true nature.
Between Dussehra and Diwali – The Journey Home
The days that follow are filled with the fragrance of victory and preparation. Just as Lord Rama journeyed home to Ayodhya, lit by thousands of lamps, we too prepare the way for love to return home within us.
Diwali – The Festival of Light
Twenty days later, the lamps are lit. The darkness is dispelled. The home, the body, the soul are illumined. Diwali is not just outer light, it is the flame of the Lovebeing within — your birthright of love and light shining into the world.
✨ Lovebeing Teaching
The path from Navratri to Diwali is the eternal journey of the soul:
Fight your inner battles with courage (Navratri).
Claim victory over the shadows that once bound you (Dussehra).
Walk the path of return to your true home (the heart).
Shine your inner lamp so brightly that it lights the way for others (Diwali).
🌹 Inside you is the superpower of love. You are a Lovebeing. When you heal your heart, you heal the world. This is your triumph. This is your light.
