What is Dasara? The celebration of Dasara is meant to purify the actions performed by the dasendriyas (5 senses of action plus 5 senses of perception). Every human being in this world has to perform some kind of karma.The presiding deity or the driving force behind these actions is Devi, who is the personification of energy. She is the bestower of all kinds of energy for humans to perform various kinds of karma. As a result, Lakshmi bestows various kinds of wealth like money, food grains, gold, different kinds of objects, and vehicles for movement on humans so that they lead a happy life in this world. The third aspect of the female divine principle is Saraswathi, the goddess of education and intellect. Thus, the Trinity of Durga (goddess of energy), Lakshmi (goddess of all kinds of wealth), and Saraswathi (goddess of education and intellect) are worshipped during this festival of Dasara. This is the underlying meaning of worshipping this Trinity of Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswathi during this Navarathri (9 day) festival. It is essential that man worship all these three facets of the Divine Principle
