Dussehra 2025: Ram vs Ravan within | Decoding Dussehra's message of strength

In this India Today special programme, the focus is on the significance of Dussehra and the messages from Lord Ram's life. Spiritual mentor Dr. Jai Madaan explains that the battle between good and evil now exists within individuals, with Ram representing the 'light within' and Ravan symbolising ego, lust, and pride. Author Saiswaroopa Iyer contrasts Ram's selfless leadership with Ravan's destructive self-interest, which led to his downfall. The programme delves into the symbolism of Ravan's ten heads and why his navel was his fatal flaw. The discussion concludes with a powerful message on the necessity of strength to uphold righteousness, highlighting the lesson that "your word is respected when you can back it," applying this ancient wisdom to contemporary challenges.
