Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is proud to teach about the importance of Rama Navami and take students to nearby Temples to attend the Sita Rama Kalayanam. Students also worshipped Lord Rama and Sita Mata by decorating their pictures in the classrooms.
As the seventh incarnation of the Dashavatars, Lord Rama was born in the spring season on Chaitra Shuddha Navami, Thursday, in the Cancer Lagna of the Punarvasu star at noon. Every year, Sri Rama Navami is celebrated as a festival on this day.
On Chaitra Shuddha Navami, Sri Rama's birthday, we celebrate "Sri Rama Navami." Worship is performed all over the country to Lord Rama. On the day of Sri Rama Navami, large palm groves are erected in the streets, and Sita Rama's marriage is performed. Lord Rama is very fond of bananas. When measuring, it is mandatory to offer bananas.
In homes, Lord Rama is also worshipped as usual, and vadapappu, panakam, and naivedyam are distributed to everyone. Similarly, as part of the festivals, Annadanam is organized. In villages, it is customary for the poor and the rich to accept it as Prasad. If Sita and Rama are married on the day of Sri Rama Navami, all auspicious things will be done. All eight divine powers will be done. Sri Rama is the child born as a result of the "Putra Kameshti Yagya" performed by King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya of Ayodhya. Sri Rama Avatar is one of the ten incarnations. At the time of Sri Rama's birth, the demon Ravana was already wreaking havoc on the devotees of God, sages, and gods, destroying the world.
He killed Ravana and saved Dharma. Sri Ramachandra showed how a human being should be, how to respect and protect relationships. On the day we celebrate Sri Rama Navami in Bhadrachalam, everyone in all parts of the world should celebrate on the same day.
On the day of Sri Rama Navami, one should wake up at six in the morning, take a bath, and wear yellow clothes. The entire house and the temple should be cleaned. The puja temple, the gate should be decorated with turmeric and saffron, and the front of the house should be decorated with rangavallikas. The images used for puja should be kept ready with sandalwood and saffron.
An image of Sri Sitarama, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna, or an image of Sri Rama can be used for puja. Sannajaji, lotus flowers should be prepared for puja, and Panakam, Vadapappu, and Kamalakaya should be prepared for puja.
Also, before puja, Sri Rama should be praised with stotras like Sri Rama Ashtottaram, Sri Ramaraksha Stotra, Sri Ramashtakam, Sri Rama Sahasram, and Sri Madramayanam. Also, reciting the chapter called Sri Rama Pattabhishekam will bring auspicious results.
Panakam-Vadapappu is of importance on the day of Sri Rama Navami. On the Navami day, Panakam-Vadapappu is prepared and accepted as a great prasadam. There is no natural meaning behind this. It is summer. Therefore, Ayurvedic scholars believe that consuming these as prasadam improves human health and longevity.
All our prasadams are determined according to the season and health. Vadapappu - Panakam is the same. Devi Bhagavatam says that the autumn and spring seasons are like the claws of Yama. It is said that the pepper and cardamom used in the panaka provide relief and act as medicine for throat diseases that occur during this season.
Panakam (made of brown sugar, cardamom, black pepper, etc) is a favorite of Vishnu. Pesarappu (green gram) reduces the heat in the body and cools it down. It increases digestion. It is a symbol of body light and knowledge. Pesarappu is called the protector of heat stroke. This means that it protects against the heat of the scorching sun. Pesarappu is a favorite of Mercury. Pesarappu was very valuable to the ancestors.
