And the third item hints at the adorable childhood pastimes of Sri Krsna who stole butter from the elderly cowherd ladies of Gokula. Hence Chanakya Pandita advises wise persons to spend the morning absorbed in Mahabharata, the afternoon studying Ramayana, and the evening devotedly hearing from Srimad-Bhagvatam.

This particular day is celebrated every year as Sri Rama Navami.
To understand the significance of Rama Navami, it is important to know about Lord Rama. Lord Rama is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And HIS arrival to the mortal world is commemorated as Rama Navami.
Not very easy to reflect Shriram ji as he was Maryada Purushottam. So, every qualities he reflected had a very very high standard. It is so high for kaliyuga that people believe Ramayana to be a myth..Every character in this epic undergoes a lot of sacrifices without any sense of pride.. once i had watched this series of videos and loved the way it was presented and very informative. Still to revive everything will again watch as i love Prema Bhakti of Hanuman ji dearest to Ram ji..Hari bol
