Dussehra

Dussehra, also called Vijayadashami, is one of the major Hindu festivals and it celebrates the triumph of good over evil. As per Hindu mythology, it was on this day when Lord Ram killed the demon King Ravana, and Maa Durga killed the demon Mahishasura.

Relationship lessons to learn from Dussehra

Revisiting the Hindu mythologies on this auspicious day, here we list some relationship lessons inspired by the festival.

Leave your ego behind

In the Hindu epic ‘Ramayana’, the main reason behind the demon King Ravana’s downfall was his ego. And so, in relationships, letting go of ego and embracing humility fosters better understanding and connection between partners.

Work together as a team

Lord Ram’s victory over demon King Ravana was with the help of his allies Lord Hanuman, brother Lakshmana, and others. So similarly, relationships can be made successful by working together as a team, where both partners put in efforts to overcome challenges.

Conquer negativity together as a team

Dussehra or Vijayadashmi symbolises the victory of good over evil. And so, couples too should work together as a team to overcome negative emotions and influences like anger, jealousy, or misunderstandings, in their relationship.

Be loyal and faithful in your relationship

Even when Lord Ram and Sita’s relationship was tested when Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, Ram and Sita stayed loyal and committed to each other. And so, loyalty and faithfulness are important for long-lasting love in any relationship.
