Lord Ram's Birthday

यह संसार तुम्हारा मैया
हम सब तेरे तेरी धरती
तेरा आगन तेरे पक्षी ।
सूरज चंद्र तुम्हारे सेवक
सागर तेरा सरिता तेरी
नभ तारों की महिमा तेरी ।
कुछ ऐसा है नहीं कहीं पर
किसी और का हो सकता है
सब पर तेरी सतत कृपा है ।
गति तेरी स्थिरता तेरी
इच्छा तेरी परिवर्तन में
शक्ति तुम्हारी काल चक्र में ।
त्रैलोक्य स्वामिनी माता मेरी
हृदय भक्ति से भर दे मैया
पार लगा दे मेरी नैया !

Ramnavmi

Once baby Ram was lying on the swing hanging from the ceiling of a balcony in the grand palace of Ayodhya. There was a vast garden around the palace. Monkeys, birds, bears, elephants, lions and all sorts of wild animals had their abode in it. They were jumping and playing, making weird noises. Ram was very happy to see their silly ways. He, however, would not have liked them had they been reciting Vedas instead, because He is the maker of both good and bad, right and wrong, high and low, big and small and so. He loves everything that adds to the beauty of the world and hates all that grows to be too powerful to be creative. He was a beloved son, a loving brother, a dutiful husband; and He is also a kind and merciful king but a dangerous enemy to those who harm his devotees or the Creation. Wish you all a Happy Ram Navmi!

Chitrakoot is the beauty of the earth because sri Ramji stayed here with his brother Laxaman and his wife Maa sita for eleven years. It looks here like Nature had been asked to update its form ever after. 03-10-2011

Wish you all a blissful Ram Navami that marks the Birthday of the world's ideal personage Lord Ram!
