Ramnavami- 2021
One of the auspicious festival in Hindu religion, Ram Navami is celebrated to mark the birth of Lord Ram-- seventh avatar of God Vishnu. It usually falls on ninth day of Chaitra Navratri and celebrated during the month of March/April as per Gregorian calendar.
On this day, devotees pray for peace, prosperity and success and seek divine blessings from Lord Rama.
The Significance of the Festival indicates the victory of goodness on evil and establishment of the Dharma to beat the Adharma. Ram Navami festival celebration starts with the Jal (water) offering in the early morning to the God Sun (A Deity) to get blessings from him. People also believe that the God Sun is an ancestor of the Lord Rama.
The word ‘Rama’ itself has great power, invoking the energies of the sun, Ra, and the moon, Ma. By reciting the mantra “Om Namo Rama Om” with devotion and fire, one can be a great disciple, or ‘Hanuman,’ and move mountains of obstacles.
As the Soul traverses through its long, arduous journey from darkness to light, may we have the Blessings of Lord Rama guide us in our return home – the return to light.
