Ram Navami 2024: Every year on the ninth date of Chaitra Shukla, the festival of Ram Navami is celebrated as the birth anniversary of Lord Rama. There is a lot of excitement in Ayodhya and all over India regarding the birth of Ramlala and the whole atmosphere becomes Ram-may.
This year the festival of Ram Navami is being celebrated today on Wednesday, 17 April 2024. On this occasion, special worship of Lord Ram is done and a grand procession is also taken out from city to city.
Ramlala was born in Tretayuga on the Navami of Chaitra Shukla.
It is believed that Lord Ram was born in Tretayuga on the ninth day of Chaitra Shukla. Ramlala was born in the womb of mother Kaushalya in the house of King Dasharatha of Awadh. After the birth of Ramlala, the same moment of happiness and enthusiasm that was there in Tretayug is seen among the devotees of Ram every year on Ramnavami.
According to Valmiki Ramayana, after the birth of Ramlala, King Dashrath’s happiness knew no bounds. In such a situation, out of gratitude for the birth of Ramlala, Dashrath decided to give gems, jewellery, money etc. to Guru Shrestha, Prajanan, servants, maids, barber and midwife etc. with a happy heart.
When Raghukul’s tradition was in trouble
But the problem arose when everyone refused to accept the gift of Ramlala’s birth. Because everyone did not desire the gift or good deed of Ramlala’s birth but only his darshan. Everyone wanted to see their beloved and the people of Ayodhya had only this desire in their mind.
Eunuchs saved the dignity of Raghu clan
But Raghukul’s tradition has been to sacrifice life but not sacrifice words. In such a situation, the king became worried about what to do with the things taken out for gift. In such a situation, the eunuchs respected the words of King Dashrath and the tradition of Raghukul and accepted the offering made on the birth of Ramlala. Along with this, the eunuchs also sang a song congratulating the birth of Ramlala and blessed the newly blossomed flower to become the Aditya of the entire universe. It is said that after this the tradition of taking neck started among eunuchs.
