Sri Rama Navami: Celebrating The Birth Of Lord Rama And The Ideals Of Dharma
Chaitra Shukla Navami, or the ninth day of the lunar month of Chaitra, is associated with Sri Rama. We celebrate the day as the incarnation day and perform Sri Rama Kalyanam on that day. Srimad Ramayanam is the great epic that tells us about Sri Rama. Sage Valmiki requests Sage Narada to tell him about the ideal person that was or is or will exist. Here the ideal is from the vantage of Dharma. It is said that “Ramo Vigrahavan Dharma”, meaning Rama is a personified form of Dharma. And Rama's journey, which was “Ramayanam”, was narrated for our benefit.
