Dusshera celebration in our society

Every year, on the day of Dashami, we feel sad because the immersion of Ma Durga pratima takes place on that day. We all feel the pain of separation while sending Ma Durga back to Kailash. DD Bangla airs daily puja performed by Ramkrishna Mission Belur from Shashti tithi to Dashsmi Tithi. Thus we watch the darpan visarjan ritual from Belur Math, which officially ends the puja rituals for this year. Then we do pranaam to the elders of our house and they bless us along with sweets.

During this time, National television channels air the last part of Ramleela. Ravan Vadh takes place at the end of this performance. We also watch that on television while feeling the happiness of the winning of goodness over evil.

  This year, on the day of Dusshera, our society arranged a short Ramleela where some of the children of our society enacted a few important scenes from Ramayan. I was very happy to watch all our loving children acting in various roles in the Ramleela. We were motivating them with clapping. At the end, Ravan Dahan took place. We all were there in the crowd witnessing the burning of the effigy of Ravan and came to home with a happy heart.

The whole day was very busy and enjoyable.

I hope you all also had a great Dusshera day.

With lots of wishes

Jai Shri Ram

Jai Maa Durga.

Like every year, 'Mahishasuramardini' aired by All India Radio in the dawn of Mahalaya day paved the way for the most awaited festival of the bengalees, the Durga Puja. 


We woke up at 4:30 am to listen to the special radio programme 'Mahishasuramardini'. 


After the completion of that programme, we switched on the television and tried to watch the various dance drama aired on the occasion of Mahalaya in different channels. Here is the list of the plays aired in various bengali television channels:-

Zee Bangla - Jaago Ma, Jaago Durga

Sony Aath- Asur Naashini Ma, Shakti Rupini Durga (12 noon to 1 pm), Debi'r Dosh Rup (1 pm to 5 pm)

Our hearts get filled with joy while listening to these songs and witnessing the glory of Ma Durga in so many different ways. All these make us ready to welcome and worship Ma Durga.


With lots of love for all,

Joy Ma Durga
