Hinduism teaches four Purusarthas, or goals of human life:

Dharma (ethics and duties)
Artha (work and prosperity)
K**a (passion and desires)
Moksha (liberation from the cycle of samsara)

Of these beliefs, Dharma is most important in day-to-day life because it is what will lead to Moksha and the end. If Dharma is neglected in favor of the more material pursuits of Artha and K**a, then life becomes chaotic, and Moksha cannot be attained.

Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashmi will be celebrated on the 18th of October this year. Vijay refers to victory and Dashami refers to tenth. This popular Hindu festival, celebrated at the end of Navratri each year, signifies the victory of good over evil. The word Dussehra is derived from the Sanskrit words "dasha" and "hara" which mean "ten" and "defeat" respectively. Dussehra is celebrated on the 10th day of the month of Ashvin. Dussehra marks the end of Durga Puja, where goddess Durga defeated the demon Mahishasur to help restore Dharma. Alongside, the festival also marks victory of Lord Rama against Ravana.
