Every human being in this world must perform some karma (action).

 The celebration of Dasara festival is meant to purify the actions performed by the Dasendriyas (5 senses of action and 5 senses of perception). Every human being in this world must perform some karma (action). The presiding deity or driving force behind all actions is Devi (also called Durga), who is the personification of energy. She is the bestower of all kinds of energy to perform various actions. Goddess Lakshmi bestows various kinds of wealth like money, food grains, gold, different kinds of objects, vehicles for movement, etc., to human beings so that they can lead a happy life in this world. The third facet of the divine female principle is Saraswati, Goddess of learning and intellect. Thus, the Trinity of Durga (goddess of energy), Lakshmi (goddess of wealth) and Saraswati (goddess of learning and intellect) are worshipped during Dasara. This is the underlying principle of worshipping this Trinity of Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati during this 9-day festival. It is essential that people worship all three facets of the Divine.
