Ram Navami ( Appearance of Lord Sri Ramchandra ), de Anuradha Bhattacharya
Sriram Navami is celebrated to proclaim the birth of Lord Sriram, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The nineth day (Navami) in the bright fortnight of the Hindu lunar month of Chaitra is referred to as Ram Navami. On this day, when the five planets and the sun, etc. were in the first house of cancer at noon along with the lunar asterism Pushya, Ramachandra was born in Ayodhya. Several temples of Lord Rama celebrate this festival for nine days beginning from the first day (pratipada) of Chaitra. It is celebrated by periodic readings (parayans) of the Ramayan, organising spiritual discourses (kirtans) and beautifully embellishing Lord Rama's idol. On the ninth day, in the afternoon, a spiritual discourse on Lord Rama's birth is held. At noon, a coconut draped in a hooded cloak is placed in a cradle and the cradle is rocked. Devotees shower a red, fragrant powder (gulal) and flowers onto it.
Celebrations of Ram Navami start on Gudi padwa, the first day of Chaitra; and continue for 9 days. During this period, devotees do parayans of Ramayan, recite the Ramaraksha stotra, sing bhajans-kirtans in His praise and chant His name.
Name: Lord Rama's Name was prevalent even before His birth. After His victory at Lanka, that is, upon demonstrating His Godhood, everyone started addressing Him as Srirama (Lord Rama).
Ideal in All Respects: Lord Rama is an example of the ideal son, brother, husband, king, friend and enemy.
The Follower of Righteousness (Dharma): Lord Rama observed all decorum prescribed by Dharma; that is why He is referred to as 'Maryadapurushottam'. Also, honouring one's word (Ekvachani) and needing just one arrow or shot to find the mark (Ekbani) and having only one wife (Ekpatni), when the norm was for Kings of that era to have many wives, are His well-known attributes.
Lord Rama's Kingdom (Ramrajya): During Lord Rama's rule, that is, in the Tretayug it was not Lord Rama alone who was wise, His subjects, too, were prudent. Hence, during His reign not a single complaint was brought to His court.
The real kingdom of Lord Rama dwells within oneself. The implied meaning of this is absolute control over the five sense organs, five motor organs, mind, subconscious mind, intellect and ego by the Rama principle (Atmarama - the Soul principle).
Worship of Lord Rama
Once the stage of worship of the Divine principle or Deity according to one's religion (that of the family Deity for Hindus) is completed, the spiritual practice (worship) of Lord Rama is useful for many seekers to go from many to One. This is because of Lord Rama's attributes of being true to His word, devoted to only one wife and attaining the target with just one arrow.
Ritualistic Worship (Puja):
Since Lord Rama is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, He too is worshipped like Vishnu in sixteen steps (shodashopachar puja). Tulsi (a sacred and medicinal plant found in India) leaves are essential for His worship. Tulsi has the ability to attract the subtlest pure particles (pavitrakas) of Vishnu. It is even better if one can use Lotuses for the worship. Khir (a sweet delicacy made from milk and rice or vermicelli) or shira (a sweet delicacy made from semolina, pure ghee and sugar) is Lord Vishnu's favourite sacrament (naivedya). Choosing the substances offered in the worship according to the science of Spirituality helps generate Divine consciousness (chaitanya) in the idol, so that it aids one's spiritual progress.
Lord Rama: An Ideal
The Ideal son: He always obeyed His parents; at times even advised the elders.
The Ideal brother: Rama-Lakshman's love is cited as the ideal of brotherly love.
The Ideal husband: He was devoted to His one and only wife. Kings, then, use to have many wives.
The Ideal friend: He helped Sugreev, Bibhishan and many others during their difficult times.
The Ideal King: He followed all codes of conduct for Kings as laid down in our scriptures.
The Ideal Enemy: Bibhishan refused to perform the last rites of Ravan, his brother. Lord Rama said to him, ''If you do not do it, I will. He was my brother too!''

Manasi Ganga
Once Sri Nanda Maharaj, Shri Yasodä and the other gopas and gopis took Krishna and Balaräma with them on a journey to the Gangä to take bath. That night, they rested near Govardhana. Krishna questioned the need for them to travel so far when all holy places reside in Vraja. He remembered Gangä-devi, and at once Bhagavati Bhägirathi-Gangä’s strong current brought her to this spot, making a sweet sound. At the head of this current was Sri Gangä-devi, mounted on an alligator. This dasana astonished Nanda, Yasodä, and the gopas, gopis and other Vrajaväsis.
Krishna said, “All holy places exist in Vraja. You wanted to bathe in the Gaìgä, so Gangä-devi has personally appeared before you today. Please bathe in her waters without delay.” Gangä-devi appeared here on the dark night (Amävasyä) of Kärtika on the day of Dépävali. Large numbers of faithful people bathe here on Dépävali and take darçana of Shri Harideva. On all of Mänasi-Gangä’s banks and near Sri Giriräja-Govardhana people offer ghee lamps.
According to another story, Krishna used to sport in the Yamunä, sometimes with His sakhäs and sometimes with His beloved gopis. When Bhagavati Gangä beheld the great fortune of Yamunä, her younger sister, she also became overwhelmed by a strong desire to serve the Divine Couple Shri Rädhä-Krishna. She expressed this yearning to Yamunä and requested her help. Krishna’s dear Shri Yamunä entreated her beloved Krishna to bestow His mercy upon her elder sister, so when the time was right, Shri Krishan summoned Gangä ji to Vraja and blessed her by frolicking in her waters with the gopis.
The stone ghäts at Mänasi-gangä were built by King Bhagavän Däs, the father of Män Singh, a King of Jaipura.

Mänasi-Gangä on Deepawali
Shri Harideva Temple
Shri Harideva, the presiding deity of Giriräja-Govardhana, is present on the southern bank of Mänasi-gangä. Shri Krishna took one form as Giridhäri (the lifter of Govardhana hill) and held His second form, Giriräja Ji, on His palm.
Deity of Sri Harideva in Shri Harideva Temple
Brahma-Kunda
Seeing that Krishna was in a good mood, Brahmä came here seeking forgiveness for his offence of stealing the calves and cowherd boys. He performed abhisheka of Shri Krishna and glorified Him with Mantras from the Säma Veda. The holy water from that abhisheka became Brahma-Kunda, and Brahmä Ji bathed in it along with the other demigods.
Manasä-devi
The temple of Manasä-devi is situated on the southern bank of Mänasé-gangä, above Brahma-kunda. Manasä-devi is none other than Yogamäyä-devi herself. One receives qualification to serve the Divine Couple Shri Rädhä-Krishna only by the mercy of Yogamäyä- Pauranmäsi. Some Vaisñavas also address Mänasé-gangä-devi simply as Manasä-devi.
Cakalesvara Mahädeva
Cakra-tirtha is on Mänasi-gangä’s north side. Cakresvara Mahädeva, currently known as Cakalesvara, resides here. When Indra inundated Vraja with torrential rains, Mahädeva (who is Sadasiva, and therefore Visnu-tattva) served Giriräja and the Vrajaväsis by raising his trident like a cakra and protecting them. (Some devotees declare that it was on Mahädeva’s request that the Sudarsana cakra protected Giriräja-Govardhana and Vraja, and for this reason, Mahädeva became known as Cakresvara Mahädeva.)

om seetha raama paraabrhamne namah om
It was long time back , I was told that one fine evening
That I came into this strange world hungry and crying
My mother looked at me with love and gave me feeding... Ver más
Since I had nothing inside and now that I had something
I was happy , content and my mom was happy smiling
I had nothing outside of me and with cold shivering
My father looked at me kindly and gave me clothing
I was so comfortable , that I started kicking and cooing
And since then I had everything that I cared for
I had love , compassion , consideration , a life full of joy.
At three score , a decade , a five and plus , time is short
One tends to be impatient , one is not that important
More and more possessive though not very pertinent
Not willing to let go what one has with a right intent
Society has neither time and regard as it’s own life is fast
An engine that knows not how to stop and look at the rest
Septuagenarian an idling engine with a brake and cant start
In the evening of life waiting for Sun to set .
