Good Morning Happy Ram Navami Have a nice day BSS SRIRAM NAVAMI is celebrated to proclaim the birth of Lord SRIRAM, the seventh incarnation of Lord VISHNU. The nineth day (NAVAMI) in the bright fortnight of the HINDU lunar month of CHAITRA is referred to as Ram NAVAMI. ||ramahi kewal prem piaaraa|| On this day, when the five planets and the sun, etc. were in the first house of cancer at noon along with the lunar asterism PUSHYA, RAMACHANDRA was born in AYODHYA. Celebrations of RAM NAVAMI start on GUDI PADWA & continue for 9 days. ||tulasi mamataa ram so samataa sab sansaar|| SRIRAM NAVAMI is called a: Holy festival (SAN): when it is celebrated individually, Religious festival (UTSAV): when celebrated collectively and Vowed observance (VRAT): when performed individually with a resolve (SANKALP). Save SREE RAM SETU:- http://www.hindujagruti.org/activities/campaigns/religious/ramsetu/ Attributes of Lord RAM:- Name: Lord RAM'S Name was prevalent even before His birth. After His victory at LANKA, that is, upon demonstrating His Godhood, everyone started addressing Him as SRIRAM (Lord RAM). Ideal in All Respects: Lord RAM is an example of the ideal son, brother, husband, king, friend and enemy. The Follower of Righteousness (DHARM): Lord RAM observed all decorum prescribed by DHARM; that is why He is referred to as 'MARYADAPURUSHOTTAM'. Also, honoring one's word (EKVACHANI) and needing just one arrow or shot to find the mark (EKBANI) and having only one wife (EKPATNI), when the norm was for Kings of that era to have many wives, are His well-known attributes. Lord RAM'S Kingdom (RAMRAJY): during Lord RAM'S rule, that is, in the TRETAYUG it was not Lord RAM alone who was wise, His subjects, too, was prudent. Hence, during His reign not a single complaint was brought to His court. The real kingdom of Lord RAM dwells within oneself. The implied meaning of this is absolute control over the five sense organs, five motor organs, mind, subconscious mind, intellect and ego by the RAM principle (ATMARAM - the Soul principle).
