Ram Navami Satsang

Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Sri Rama, the anniversary of his marriage to Sita, and his coronation. Sri Rama is said to be the embodiment of dharma, or righteous action. There is a lesson for us to learn how he faced every trial that arose in his life. How should an individual behave towards his parents, his siblings, his friends? How should a leader behave towards his followers? How do you stand firm in the face of moral trials? All of these things can be learned from studying the life of Sri Rama. Sri Rama did not become overjoyed when he learnt that he was to be crowned successor to the throne. Similarly, when he lost the throne, he did not fall into despair. Moreover, Sri Rama only had love and respect for Kaikeyi—the cause of his exile. Thus, Sri Rama is an excellent role model of dharma and values for us to emulate in life.

Join us for a special Ram Navami satsang on Saturday, April 1, starting with group archana at 4PM CT, followed by bhajans, arati, and meditation.
