Ram Navami concludes the nine-day long festival of Chaitra Navratri, which began on March 18, last Sunday. A big occasion for the millions of Shri Rama followers not just in India but all across the globe. The word Rama is a combination of words "Ra" which in Sanskrit means "That Which is Radiant" and "Ma" stands for "Myself". The word means – “That which shines forth within me, is Rama. That which is radiant in every particle of the Being is Rama.” Such is the charisma of the almighty powerful being who left all comforts of Vaikunthdham or Vishnuloka and took birth as a human to curb the growing evil on the planet.
