Ram Navami 2025: Significance
Hindu legends state that Sage Vashistha advised King Dasharath to perform the Puthra Kameshti Yagna. This sacred ritual would fulfil the King's desire for a child. King Dasharath had three wives but no children. After completing the ritual the King received a divine bowl of Kheer. He shared it with his three wives and all of them conceived children.
Queen Kausalya gave birth to Lord Rama on the ninth day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Chaitra. Lord Vishnu incarnated as Lord Rama to eradicate evil and establish righteousness. He protected his devotees from demons and misfortune. The people of Ayodhya celebrated Lord Rama's birthday with great enthusiasm and joy and hence, this marked the onset of Ram Navami.
Ram Navami is a significant festival that reminds us of the triumph of good over evil and the power of devotion. Lord Rama's victory over Ravana and other demons established him as a symbol of righteousness. He inspires devotees to learn from his virtues and overcome obstacles in their own lives.
