A spiritual retreat. Rama Navami
Today we look up at the stunning structure of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya! The partially built Hindu temple is known as the birthplace of Lord Rama. The details of Rama's birth are chronicled in ancient scriptures like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. According to these texts, he was born to Queen Kausalya and King Dasharatha.
Rama Navami, a significant Hindu festival, commemorates the birth of Rama. He is revered as an exemplary ruler and individual, embodying righteousness, virtuous conduct and moral integrity. On this day, people engage in reading and listening to discourses from the Ramayana, while others organise vibrant ratha yatras, or chariot processions. Charitable events are common, alongside auspicious marriage processions symbolising the union of Sita and Rama. Are you ready to experience divine bliss?
