Rama Navami on Thursday, April 2, 2020
Sri Ramachandra appeared as the son
of Dasharatha, the king of Ayodhya, who hailed from the
dynasty of Maharaja Ikshvaku (also known as Raghu
Vamsha).
Dasharatha had three wives: Kaushalya, Kaikeyi, and Sumitra, but he had no
children. On the advice of Maharishi Vashishtha, the king performed a Putra Kameshti Yajna. As a result, the
three wives conceived sons.
Kaushalya gave birth to Rama and Kaikeyi gave birth to Bharata. Sumitra gave birth to the
twins: Lakshmana and Shatrughna. Rama was born
during Treta Yuga out of four
cyclic Yugas described in religious books.
The life and
activities of Sri Rama are explained in detail by the great sage Valmiki in the
epic Ramayana. A summarized version of the Ramayana as narrated by Shukadeva Goswami to Parikshit Maharaja is included
in the ninth canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam (Bhagavata Purana). Lord Rama is
considered the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu and it is believed that
worshipping him on this auspicious day of Rama Navami indicates the removal of bad powers and entrance of
divine power on the earth.
This Year Nama Navami is special as
Foundation Stone for Grand Ram Temple will be laid. E-Touch Seeks the Blessings
of Sri Ramachandra Prabhu.
CHANTING RAMA NAMA MEANS – ‘VICTORY OVER ALL EVIL FORCES
FOR EVER’.
JAI SHRI RAM – JAI AYODHYA RAM – JAI SITA RAM.
