Say Dussehra that on Vijayadashami, where Maa Durga killed Mahishasura, on the other hand Shri Ram celebrated victory by killing Ravana.
The festival of Vijayadashami is the festival of victory of truth over falsehood. On this day Shri Ram hoisted the flag of victory over Lanka and was declared the king of Sugriva. But why worship the vehicle on this day? What is the reason behind this?
Why do vehicle worship on Vijayadashami:
1. Actually, after the Lanka conquest, Shri Ram expressed his gratitude to all those people who had supported him directly or indirectly. Whether it is root or animate. Be it animal or bird. He expressed his gratitude to all.
2. Since Shri Ram had expressed his gratitude to all inanimate things. He also expressed his gratitude to his weapons, chariots and all kinds of vehicles in inert things because without them the war could not be fought. Talking about vehicles, chariots, elephants and horses were all vehicles.
3. Today the worship of our vehicles is only synonymous with the same ‘rath-worship’. In ancient India, this tradition was followed by chariot-worship, horse-worship, weapon-worship. At present, the nature of this tradition has changed and is visible to us in the form of vehicle worship.
4. Army vehicles, police department vehicles, passenger vehicles for traffic, own vehicles etc. all run our life. We wash our vehicles thoroughly and worship it by garlanding it. This vehicle is our partner. Without it we cannot go anywhere. Therefore, it is the day of Dussehra to express gratitude towards it. We worship it only to show gratitude or to show gratitude.
