Dashara /Navratri
Navratri is a process of detoxifying the body, mind and soul; fasting is an integral part of the detoxification and purification process or the “spiritual yagna”.
Fasting does not simply mean “not eating” or missing a meal, it denotes controlling one’s desires. Non-fulfillment of desires is at the root cause of anger and unrest. Navratri is a time to let go of all desires.
The first three days of Navratri are devoted to pursuing activities that stimulate and create Rajsik thoughts in the mind and reduce the negativity in the mind and the body. The next three days are allocated to practicing positive behavior and activities (by practicing Yoga Sadhna as described in nine forms of Durga and in the last three days, one is supposed to read and learn about spiritual positive things in life.
These three phases of purification denote Goddesses Kali, Lakshmi and Saraswati, respectively and their worship.
The nine days of Navratri require a person to lead a satwik spiritual life, which means that one should eat only Satwik food (that which is offered to God) and follow the principles of Satwik lifestyle (Satwik Ahaar, Satwik Vichar, Satwik Vyavahaar and Satwik Achaar).
The first benefits of this purification process can be observed on the 10th day i.e. Dusshera or Vijaydashmi, when Ravana (Ego) Kumbhakaran (Tamas) and Meghnad (Rajas) are conquered. Victory over ego indicates that satwa (Vibhishan) takes over and the mind (Lakshamana), body (Sita) and soul (Rama) are one. This indicates an ego-free mind leading to inner happiness.
However, this process of purification or the spiritual yagna does not end on the day of Dusshera, it continues till Diwali. It starts from the first day of Navratri on Amavasya and ends on Diwali, again on Amavasya.
On this day of Dusshera, let us aim to kill our inner Ravana, Kumbhakaran and Meghnad and emerge victorious with a positive mind and be one with our true self or consciousness.
I wish you all a very happy Dusshera.

How to win the game of life
This is one of the best answer which i read because it explains the science behind the most important thing which makes our life good : (HAPPINESS)
Question was :
I am rich, fit, and I have mastered almost everything I wanted to master. Why am I still not happy and still not satisfied?
It starts like this
“Human happiness (as we know it) is caused by 4 basic chemicals:
Dopamine
Endorphins
Serotonin
Oxytocin
On your journey to become fit, your body released endorphins to cope with the pain of physical exercise.
You probably began to enjoy exercise as you got more into it, and the endorphins made you happy - temporarily.
On your journey to become rich, you probably completed many tasks and goals.
You probably bought all the things you’ve ever wanted. Nice cars, beautiful clothes, and a perfect home.
This released dopamine in your brain when you achieved your goals and bought these things, which once again contributed to your happiness - temporarily.
So what about the other two chemicals?
It turns out that human happiness is incomplete without all 4 chemicals constantly being released in the brain.
So now you need to work on releasing serotonin and oxytocin.
“How do I do that, Karim?”
Serotonin is released when we act in a way that benefits others. When we give to causes beyond ourselves and our own benefit. When we connect with people on a deep, human level.
Writing this Quora answer is releasing serotonin in my brain right now because I’m using my precious time on the weekend to give back to others for free.
Hopefully I’m providing useful information that can help other people, like yourself.
That’s why you often see billionaires turning to charity when they have already bought everything they wanted to, and experienced everything they wanted to in life.
They’ve had enough dopamine from material pleasures, now they need the serotonin.
Oxytocin on the other hand, is released when we become close to another human being.
When we hug a friend,or shake someone’s hand, oxytocin is released in varying amounts.
Oxytocin is easy to release. It’s all about becoming more social!
Share your wealth with your friends and family to create amazing experiences.
Laugh, love, cooperate, and play with others.
That’s it my friend!
I think it all comes down to the likelihood that you are missing two things: contribution and social connection”
