“Remarkable Rama Navami” – Special Radio Sai Timeline cover on the Holy occasion of Sri Rama Navami!
Sri Rama Navami is the festival that celebrates
the birth of Lord Sri Rama, the Avatar of the Treta age. It falls in the
‘Chaitra’ month in the Shukla Paksha Navami (ninth day of the bright fortnight)
of the Hindu lunar calendar. Lord Rama is revered as being the very embodiment
of Dharma (righteousness) and one whose life serves as an ideal for all mankind.
The Ramayana, an epic poem composed by sage Valmiki on the life of Lord Rama, is
one of the sacred scriptures of the Hindu religion.
Bhagawan Baba has taught us great significance of Ramayana and Lord Rama through
‘Ramakatha Rasavahini’ authored by Baba Hisself.
“The Ramayana, the story of Lord Rama, teaches two lessons: the value of
detachment and the need to become aware of the Divine in every being. Faith in
God and detachment from objective pursuits are the keys for human liberation.
Give up attachment to sense objects, and you gain Rama. Sita gave up the
luxuries of Ayodhya so she could be with Rama during His exile. When she cast
longing eyes on the golden deer and craved for it, she lost Rama's proximity.
Renunciation leads to joy; attachment brings about grief. Be in the world, but
not of it.
Rama is the in-dweller in every body. He is the Source of Bliss (Atma-Rama) in
every individual. His blessing, surging from that inner spring, confers peace
and bliss. He is the very embodiment of Dharma, of all the codes of morality
that hold mankind together in love and unity”.
In His divine discourses Bhagawan showed us the way to mark this Historical Day.
Let’s see what He has taught us.
“The Ramayana teaches the principles of Dharma and the path of duty to every
individual. Though ages and aeons have passed by, the Ramayana remains
ever-fresh guiding humanity on the path of truth and righteousness. Even today
we think of the characters of Ramayana with respect and reverence. You can very
well understand its greatness. There is no morality higher than what is depicted
in the Ramayana. The Ramayana should be the subject of our Parayana (worship).
You should install the principle of Rama in your heart and experience bliss.
Practise the teachings of Ramayana in your daily life. Obey the command of Lord
Rama. It is to understand and assimilate the principle of Ramayana that we are
celebrating the festival of Rama Navami today. It is not enough if the
celebration is confined to merely partaking of sweet pudding and other delicious
items.
- Divine Discourse: April 11th, 2003
Feel free to make it your timeline cover and share with all to celebrate this
auspicious day with us. Follow the basic principles of Ramayana to sanctify your
life. Follow the path of Kaliyuga Avatar Lord Sai Rama to cross this worldly
ocean safely and smoothly.

This day, the birth of Sri Rama is celebrated in
all lands. Rama had deed, word and thought, body, speech and mind, ever pure and
totally free from blemish. Really speaking, one ought to revere the story of
Rama as a profound allegory. Every act and actor in that story attracts
attention and gets imprinted on the memory because the allegory is personal to
each of us.
It is often said that Rama followed dharma at all times. This is not the correct
way of describing him. He did not follow dharma, he was dharma. What he thought,
spoke, and did was dharma and is dharma forever. - Sathya Sai Baba - Divine
Discourse: 18 April 1986
The word Rama has the triple power of destroying sins, conferring peace, and
dispelling ignorance. When you utter the word "Ram", you first open the mouth
with the sound "Ra". All your sins go out when your mouth is open. When you
utter "M" by closing the mouth, the entry is barred against the sins that have
gone out. Everyone should recognize the sweetness, sacredness, and divinity
enshrined in the name Rama. It is good to utter the name Rama with full
understanding of all that it signifies. But even without that understanding the
chanting of the name has the power to destroy all sins.
We must learn to chant the sweet name of Rama with a pure, unsullied heart, in a
spirit of selfless devotion. Men should learn to speak sweetly and pleasingly.
Sweet speech confers peace. It is the means to self-realization. Sri Rama loves
to dwell in the heart of the man who speaks sweetly. Wholehearted chanting of
the name of Rama even once can destroy mountains of sins. But the chanting
should not be done mechanically, like a gramophone record. It should emanate
from the depths of the heart. You must seek to redeem your lives, by living up
to Rama's ideals and proclaiming them to the world. Remember the name of Rama
with love. God can be realized only through love and by no other means. - Sathya
Sai Baba - Divine Discourse: 14 April 1989--
