Well.. Finally, I have my own blog (was planning it for a long time but, implemented it just yesterday on the day of sree rama navami).
Rama navami, the birth of Sree Rama who is the seventh incarnation of Sree Maha Vishnu, is celebrated during Chaitra masam (March – April) on the ninth day of the first fortnight (Chaitra Masa Suklapaksha Navami). This day also marks the end of nine-day utsavam called the Vasantotsavam (festival of spring) which starts with Ugadi,celebrated on Chaitra Shudhdha Padyami. Sree Rama was born in Ayodhya to King Dasarath and Kausalya to re-establish dharma on earth by destroying the demon Ravan. He was married to Sita, daughter of King Janaka who ruled Mithila.
On this day, people pray Sita, Lakshma (Rama’s brother who went on exile along with him) and Hanuman ji (ardent devotee) along with Sree Rama.
It is widely believed that listening to Ramayana (story of Rama written by Maharishi Valmiki) cleanses the soul and chanting his name is the path to salvation and attain moksha.
Om Sree Rama Rama Rameti Rame Rame Manorame Sahasra Naama Tattulyam Rama Nama Varanane!!!
