[www.keralites.net] Lord Rama - 7th Incarnation of Lord Vishnu

 

Lord Rama is one of the most respected Gods in Hinduism. He is believed to be the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Lord Rama was born during Treta Yuga out of four cyclic Yugas described in religious books.

Lord Rama was the eldest son of Dasharath, the king of Ayodhya. Dasharath had three wives namely, Kaushalya, Sumitra and Kaikeyi.

Dasharath performed two Yagya(s), Ashwamedha and Putrakameshti, with the help of sage Rishyasringa (ऋष्यशृंग). During Yagya, Agni sprang out from the Yagya-Kunda and handed out Dasharath a pot of the Kheer. Agni advised Dasharath to distribute it among his queens to get blessed with sons.

Kaushalya ate half of the Kheer, Sumitra ate a quarter of it and Kaikeyi ate some of it and passed it back to Sumitra who consumed the Kheer a second time. Thus Kaushalya gave birth to Lord Rama, Kaikeyi gave birth to Bharata and Sumitra gave birth to the twin Lakshmana and Shatrughna.

Lord Rama was the eldest and Bharat was the second eldest son of the king Dasharath. It is believed that the twin Lakshmana and Shatrughna was born two days after that of Lord Rama. The birth anniversary of Lord Rama is celebrated as Ram Navmi which falls during Shukla Paksha of Chaitra month as per Hindu Calender.

Lord Rama and Bharata had dark complexion while the twin Lakshmana and Shatrughna had fair complexion. Most iconography of Lord Rama depicts Him with blue skin similar to Lord Krishna. Lord Rama carries a bow and quiver full of arrows on His back.

According to some versions of Ramayana, Lord Rama had an elder sister also. Dasharatha had a daughter from his first wife Kaushalya. Her name was Shanta and she was given for the adoption to Romapada. Later Shanta was married to Sage Rishyasringa. This daughter was born before the king Dasharatha got married to two other queens Sumitra and Kaikeyi.

Lord Rama being the eldest son of the king was the natural successor of the throne of Ayodhya. But Kaikeyi wanted his son Bharat to be the future king of Ayodhya. In the past King Dasharatha had given Kaikeyi an unconditional promise to fulfill one of her demands. To fulfill his promise Dasharatha exiled his son Rama for fourteen years.

While leaving Ayodhya, Lord Rama was accompanied by His wife Sita and the brother Lakshmana. During His exile Lord Rama killed demon Ravana who had kidnapped Sita by disguising as a sage. The day when Lord Rama killed Ravana is celebrated as Duddehra.

After fourteen years Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya and took charge of the kingdom. DIwali, the most famous festival of Hindus, is celebrated to mark the return of Lord Rama after completing His exile.

Lord Ram had two sons Lava and Kusha who were born after Lord Rama abandoned Sita. Lord Ram was an ideal king and his tenure is still known as Rama Rajya. After ruling Ayodhya for many years Lord Rama took Jal-Samadhi in the river Sarayu along with His brothers.

[www.keralites.net] Dad, You are my Life!

 

You are my Life!
top in every competition. He was a champion.

But the boy changed after leaving home and attending
the boarding school. His grades started dropping.
He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time.
And there were especially dark times
when he felt like committing suicide.

All of this because he felt worthless
and that no one loved him.

His parents started worrying about the boy.
But even they did not know what was wrong with him.
So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school
and talk with him.

They sat on the bank of the lake near the school.
The father started asking him casual questions
about his classes, teachers and sports.

After some time his dad said,
'Do you know son, why I am here today?"

The boy answered back, "to check my grades?"

"No, no" his dad replied,

"I am here to tell you that

you are the most important person for me.
I want to see you happy.
I don't care about grades.
I care about you.
I care about your happiness.
YOU ARE MY LIFE."

These words caused the boy's eyes to fill with tears.
He hugged his dad. They didn't say anything
to each other for a long time.

Now the boy had everything he wanted.
He knew there was someone on this earth
who cared for him deeply.

He meant the world to someone.

And today this young man is in college at the top
of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!

Thanks a lot dad. YOU ARE MY LIFE.
