After Lord Vishnu and Shiva, Shri Ram is considered the most worshiped deity in Hinduism. Shri Ram, who is considered an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, was born on the ninth day of the bright fortnight of Chaitra, under the Punarvasu Nakshatra and Cancer ascendant, from the womb of Queen Kaushalya at the palace of King Dasharath in Ayodhya.
What makes the birth of Ram special on the ninth day of Chaitra Navratri is that, in addition to being born on this day, Ram also observed a nine-day fast to invoke Goddess Durga before battling Ravana. This date is celebrated as Ram's birth anniversary because according to Hindu scriptures, it was on this day that Lord Shri Ram was born. Since Ram was a human incarnation, he did not perform miracles like Krishna; instead, he set an example of an ideal man before society and the nation, which remained exemplary for ages.
Even in this century, Ram's birthday holds significance on Ram Navami. As we all know, from the Treta Yuga to the present, the stature of Lord Ram as an ideal man has been established because he sacrificed all his close relations to uphold the principles and words of his Raghu dynasty. He spent fourteen years in exile in the forest and fought many demons and evil beings, including the wicked Ravana, to eradicate injustice from the world and free his abducted wife, Sita. But later, that same ideal man, Ram, abandoned his beloved wife Sita due to mere public gossip. This incident proves that Ram, the son of Dasharath, was no ordinary human. Otherwise, why would a king abandon his wife? He could have brought her back by force or married ten more times. But Ram was not just a king; he was a great human being and an incarnation of God. Ram envisioned a kingdom where not only humans but animals and birds were also heard. He ensured equal treatment and justice for all. Some people consider Ram not as a god but as an ordinary human. Ram never showed divine miracles, nor did he ever desire to. There is a story when a bridge was being constructed to Lanka, every stone inscribed with Ram's name floated except one, which sank. Hanuman witnessed this incident. Ram gestured to Hanuman not to tell anyone that the stone bearing his name had sunk into the ocean.
Hanuman went to Ram and said, "Lord, those who carry your name will surely cross the ocean of existence, but those who abandon it will surely drown." Hanuman revealed a profound truth that today's humanity needs to understand that nothing can happen to those who leave Ram. Ram's divinity was not because of his godly attributes but because of his virtues. The birth anniversary of a great person is celebrated to remember his good thoughts and deeds. And since Ram is a treasure trove of virtues, his birthday should always be celebrated so that today's youth can understand how a young prince, obedient to his father's words, renounced everything and went to live in the forest, fulfilling the duty of an obedient son while sacrificing everything to bring happiness and peace to others by fighting demons and struggles.
In Roman Hindi . Ram navami kyun manaya jana chahiye..Ram katha. Story of Ramnavami.
राम नवमी क्यूँ मनाया जाना चाहिए ?
Ram Navami kyun manai jaani chahiye? Bhagwan Vishnu aur Shiv ke baad Shri Ram, Hindu dharm mein sabse adhik pujye jaane wale devta mane jaate hain. Shri Ram, jo Bhagwan Vishnu ke avatar mane jaate hain, unka janm Chaitra ke nauven din ko hua tha, Punarvasu Nakshatra aur Kark Lagn mein, Rani Kaushalya ki kokh se, Ayodhya ke Raja Dasharath ke mahal mein.
Ram ke janm ko Chaitra Navratri ke nauven din manane ka vishesh hai, kyunki is din ke saath hi Ram ne Ravan se yuddh karne ke liye Devi Durga ka nau dinon tak vrat upvas kiya tha. Is tithi ko Ram ka janmotsav manaya jata hai kyonki Hindu dharm shastron ke anusar, is din Bhagwan Shri Ram ka janm hua tha. Kyunki Ram nar avatar the, isliye unhone Krishna ki tarah koi leela nahi ki balki samajh aur rashtra ko disha nirde sh karne ke liye logon ke samaksh ek poorn maryadit purush uttam vyakti ki chhavi rakhi jo yugon-yugon tak misal bani rahi.
Aaj bhi is sadi mein Ram ka janm divas kyun manaya jana chahiye? Kyunki hum sab jante hain, treta yug se lekar ab tak Bhagwan Ram ki pratishtha, ek maryada purushottam ke roop mein sthapit hai kyunki unhone apne Raghu kul ke dharm aur vachan ki maryada palan ke liye apne sabhi sage sambandhiyon ka tyag kar jungle mein chaudah varshon tak vanvaas kata aur sansar se adharm ko mitane ke liye aneko asuron aur danavon sahit dusht Ravan ka vadh kar apni apahrit patni Sita ko mukt karaya. Lekin baad mein usi maryada purushottam Ram ne ek gobi ki baaton mein aakar apni priya patni Sita ka fir se tyag kar diya. Isse yahi pata chalta hai ki Dashrath nandan Ram koi sadharan manav nahi the. Varna Raja bhala kyun apni patni ka tyag karega, vo to das aur vyah karke le aaega. Lekin Ram koi raja nahi balki ek maha manav aur nar avatar mein yug purush the. Ram ne jis Ram rajya ki kalpana ki thi vahan insaan to insaan pashu pakshiyon ki baten bhi suni jati thi aur sabke saath ek saman vyavahar aur nyay kiya jata tha.
Kuch log Ram ko bhagwan nahi balki ek aam manav mante hain. Ram ne bhi kabhi bhagwan wali leela nahi dikhayi aur na hi ve aisa kabhi chahte hi the. Aisa hi ek prasang aata hai jab Lanka paar ke liye Setu ka nirmaan kiya ja raha tha to sabhi pattharon par Ram naam likhkar unhein Nal-Neel ke dwara samudra mein pravahit kiya ja raha tha jo jal mein tair rahe the. Ye sab dekh jab Ram ne bhi ek patthar samudra mein dala to vo taira nahi balki doob gaya. Lekin is ghatna ko Hanuman ji ne dekh liya.
Ram ji ne Hanuman ko ishare se kaha ki kisi ko batana mat mera chhua patthar jal mein doob gaya hai. Tab Hanuman ji Ram ke paas aaye aur kaha ki Prabhu jo aapke naam ke saath hai vo to bhav sagar paar karega hi lekin jise aap chhod den vo to isi prakar doobega na...?? Hanuman ne us din ek bahut hi gudh baat kahi thi jise aaj ke manav ko samajhna chahiye ki jise Ram chhod de uska kuch nahi ho sakta.....Ram ko Ram unke ishwaritv wale gunon ne nahi balki unke sadgunon ne unhein bhagwan banaya...Kisi mahapurush ki jayanti unke acche vicharon aur karyon ko smaran rakhne ke liye ki jaati hai..aur kyunki Ram apne aap mein gunon ki khan hai ek misaal hai to unki jayanti hamesha manaye jaane ki zarurat hai taki aaj ke yuvak samajh sake ki kaise ek yuva rajkumar apne pitaa ke vachan ki maan rakhne ke liye ek aagyakari putra ka farz nibhate hue sab kuch tyag kar van mein rahne chala jaata hai...aur doosron ko sukh aur shaanti pahunchane ke liye asuron se yuddh kar sangharsh karta rehta hai...
