It's an opportunity to commemorate the virtues of devotion, truth, courage, and righteousness Lord Rama embodied, enriching our own lives in the process!
One great way of celebrating Ram Navami Day is through hosting or attending a reading session of the epic, Ramayana. Ensure you pay keen attention to the lessons on the virtues held highest in Hindu Dharma like morality, honesty, and righteousness.
Consider conducting a special puja or prayers at home. Purify your space with holy water, light incense, place flowers or Tulsi leaves, and offer fruits or sweets to Lord Rama’s idol or picture. Join your family in chanting mantras and singing devotional songs to invoke divine blessings.
Cook some traditional Indian sweets like Laddoos or Kheer that can be offered as Prasad (a religious offering) to Lord Rama during your puja. Once the ceremonies are done, distribute the prasad among family members and friends as a receipt of blessings from the gods.
Look for local community events celebrating Ram Navami. This could be a great opportunity to witness beautiful processions, listen to live recitation of the Ramayana, and even watch enactments of scenes from Lord Rama’s life.
Since Lord Rama is renowned for his compassionate nature, celebrate Ram Navami by practicing acts of kindness. Make a donation to a charity or hand out food and clothing to the less fortunate, as doing good deeds bring you even closer to the divine.
