May this day brings happiness to you and fill your life with joy and prosperity. Warm wishes on Happy Ram Navami.

Rama is considered as the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. As per the words of Sri Krishna in The Bhagavad Gita, incarnations happen on the earth to annihilate the evil and protect the virtuous. The principal mission of every incarnation or Avatar is to protect Dharma. In this connection, Rama’s advent happened to see the end of atrocities committed by the demonic forces. After killing a list of demons, Rama provided one of the best rules on the earth described as Rama Rajya. Rama was born on Navami (the ninth day) of Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of lunar month) in the month of Chaitra (April – May).

This year it is being celebrated on April 21.

Year on year, Hindus celebrate Ram Navami with great devotional fervor.
