This Friday, October 15 is Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra to Hindus and Dashain to Buddhists.
Vijaya means victory in Sanskrit
Ancient warriors (men and women) consumed Vijaya before and after battle to assume victory.
Vijaya is also associated with the power of the divine feminine as seen through Goddess Durga, an inspiration to Amazon warrior women, who defeated demons.
