"The story of Rama cannot be fathomed by human intelligence. Rama's story is happening all the time in one galaxy or another. Rama sacrificed more than any Avatar, absorbing human suffering in totality. The 9th Waxing Moon (Rama Navami) is his birthday. Birthdays of Gods provide a link to them. Therefore, it is very important to meditate, worship or visit their temples on this day. Spend the 9th day thinking of Rama and praying to him."
Rama Navami, the birthday of Rama, falls on 9th Waxing Moon in the 12th month of the Vedic calendar. Rama, the 7th avatar of Lord Vishnu, embodies all virtues and is a warrior who fought for truth thoughtout his life. Lord Rama, the guardian of humanity is committed to evolving humans to a higher state in life, both spiritually and materially.
Rama was born in Surya Vamsha (Sun Dynasty) as a crown Prince. The great epic Ramayana details the life history of Rama and the hardship he has to go through despite being a royal Prince. During this time as Rama, he worked toward improving the status of people's lives. He elevated a monkey to a divine being, a warrior to a king, a hunter to his brother, and much more. Connect with Rama to rise effortlessly and quickly from any situation you find yourself locked into.
The sound Rama existed before the historical or mythological avatar Rama. According to Vedic history, sounds are never destroyed and hence they are called Aksharas (the one which cannot be destroyed). The sound Rama is indestructible and is the most powerful of all sounds besides OM. The sound Rama can liberate you from the birth cycle.
The name RAMA is a derivative of two key consonants RA from Narayana (Lord Vishnu) and MA from Mahadeva (Lord Shiva). Chanting RAMA has the explicit dual benefits of being blessed by both the Protector and the Liberator.
Pillai Center has arranged for the chanting of the 1000 names of Lord Rama followed by a grand 8 Priest HomaFire Lab, during which the priests will invoke the blessings of Lord Rama in the fire by chanting the Taraka mantra of Rama. Each Sanskrit alphabet has an internal numeric value and is connected to one of the 5 elements of nature. The great Vedic sages, with their deep insights about the power of each alphabet and its phonetic energy, have given these value assignments.
RA is seed sound of fire RA is the most primal of the sounds and all Vedic mantras for attaining supernatural powers are incomplete without the prefix e.g. Hraam, Hreem, Hroom. MA is the Seed sound of the cosmic element, as in 'Aum'. MA is the phoneme of fertility and peace.
So, while chanting the 'RAMA' mantra (also called the Taraka mantra), you are subconsciously making an offering to the supreme cosmic consciousness. The RAMA mantra is the life boat that can take you across the sea of suffering and the ocean of obstacles. With its pure, elevating energy, it can help you break the birth cycle to attain liberation.
