Appearance Day of Lord Ramachandra (Rama Navami) Wednesday, March 24

Ramachandra appeared in the Sun Dynasty as the son of King Dasharatha, in the line of King Ikshvaku, the first ruler of Earth. Lord Rama was the darling of His father and mother, Queen Kaushalya, as well as the hero of all Ayodhya, the capital of what was then a single world kingdom. Rama had all the admirable qualities of leadership, even from earliest youth. He possessed all physical strength, beauty, religious wisdom, fame for prowess with weapons, royal wealth, and complete renunciation.

Inseparable from Rama was Lakshmana, His younger brother. Together, the two brothers appeared on Earth to vanquish the almost invincible atheist king Ravana and his numberless host of Rakshasa (man-eating) warriors.

Ramachandra is described as being of greenish hue, His bodily luster like fresh green grass. Lakshmana is golden-hued.

“Remembrance of Krishna is not possible for the impure soul who has not practiced Krishna consciousness in devotional service.  Therefore, one should practice Krishna consciousness from the very beginning of life.  If one wants to achieve success at the end of his life, the process of remembering Krishna is essential.  Therefore, one should constantly, incessantly chant the Maha-Mantra  –  Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.”
– Bhagavad Gita As It Is, 8.5.

“The human body is rarely achieved, and although temporary like other bodies, it is meaningful because in human life one can perform devotional service.  Even a slight amount of sincere devotional service can give one complete perfection.”
– Srimad Bhagavatham, 7.6.1.
