Vijyadashami
Vijyadashami
Vijyadashami
is observed as triumph of good over evil. Lord Rama is the symbol of good
whereas Ravana symbolizes evil. The annual ritual of burning the effigies of
Ravana along with his kiths and kins in different corners of India as a mark of
Vijyadashami results in burning of fuel wood in hundreds of tonnes by cutting
trees. Besides, effigy-burning also culminates in pollution of air. The time
has come to change the mind-set and stop wasting wood and rather save trees.
Ravana as symbol of evil represents our negative thoughts which should be
abandoned immediately and we should take solemn pledge on this day to do good
to others in word, action and deed. We should think of the poor and
down-trodden segments of the society and work for their uplift.
Instead
of cutting trees for burning effigies, we should take pledge to plant more
trees so that the demon of global warming is kept at bay and fresh air is
ushered in for of all to breathe. More trees mean less pollution and clean
environment for all of us.
