[Guest guest]

Vasanta Navaratri Greetings to our Advaitin Group. The auspicious Vasanta Navaratri 2010 - nine devine nights sping festival starts from this 16th and climaxes on March 24th,the birthday of Lord Sri Ramachnadra. Sri Rama kalyanam on Navami day is celebrated with gaiety and religious fervor marking the celestial wedding of Goddess Sita and Lord Rama allover India and world. During the Navaratri days,reading,listening,singing the epic Ramayana is considered a bliss to learn the lessons of life and living in grace and peace. The story of Rama,with it's lofty ideals and heart-touching narration,holds Indian tighter.It's a narrative India at its philosophical,cultural,religious,legendary and humanistic best.It has become a common heritage not only for a Hindus but also of all Indians and neighboring South-East Asian and Far Eastern countries. Ramayanam,the story of Rama-his birth,courting Sita, his exploits, the heart-rending exile, the war, the establishment of Rama rajya,the tests that befell him-all these and many more-have influenced Indian culture, literature,arts,music and life.Folk artists sing this story in their homey idioms. Lord Rama so captured the soul of people it's fact of life that in many households across India and neighboring countries, he is one among family members,looking after them,blessing them and protecting them. "Rama,the ancient idol of the heroic ages, the embodiment of truth,of morality,the ideal son, the ideal husband, the ideal father, and above all, the ideal king, this Rama has been presented before us by the great sage Valmiki. No language can be purer, none chaster, none more beautiful, and at the same time simpler, than the language in which the great poet has depicted the life of Rama." Conveying my Vasanta Navaratri Greetings, I request you to listen Valmiki Ramayanam during these festive days for peace and bliss.http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=goli+ramayanam & search_type= & aq=fhttp://www.archive.org/search.php?query=dr.goli & page=1http://ramayanam.ning.com/
