As the curtains come down on the Durga Puja, 2012 we celebrate the victory of the Goddess over Mahisasur. This event marks the end of the evil forces and fulfillment of the divine intervention for which the Goddess was born.
This day which is celebrated across India for various customs has a special tone for the Indian society in the present times. As a society we have been fighting a lot of Mahisasur-ian styled evils that have become a bane for the societal and human progress. These seemingly insurmountable issues crop their ugly head every now and then with glaring regularity, threatening to gobble-up our existence. We require something special to get rid of the Mahisasur of the present times. The present evil one does not recide in an individual but in a system - a system where we all are active partners. We require the Divine Goddess in each one of us.
The question is - do we have the will power to allow the Goddess to create an abode in our mind and soul to cleanse the system within us or are we weak and waiting for the never coming divine intervention?
