Today we celebrate birth of Lord Rama. In an earlier post I have already shared about saga of Jay-Vijay and their cursed state by The Four Kumaras https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaya-...ya. So, in Tretaya Yuga (Lord Rama’s era), Jay and Vijay brothers took incarnations in demon form, King Ravana(Jay) and his brother Kumbhakarna(Vijay). We all know the story of Lord Rama, the rightful scion of the great Suryavansh.
The beauty of Avatars in Sanatana Mythology is almost all of them took form of mortals with the exception of Mahabali, Hanuman, Veda Vyasa, Narada, Aswathama etc https://detechter.com/15-immortals-according-hi.... Lord Rama is one of the mortal incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

Significance
Well, despite of being the scion of Suryavansh, Lord Rama took intense hardships in life. See, how miserable his life has been. He grew up with his four brothers. He played with Manthara once. But Manthara poisoned Keikayi’s mind and Lord Rama had to go on a self exile with his newly married bride and brother. Because of past karma King Dasaratha (when King Dasaratha killed Shravana Kumar by mistake), he got cursed to face the pain of not being able to be with his favorite son i.e. Lord Ram in his old age. Manthara poisoned Kaikayi’s mind because Manthara was cursed by Lord Bramha. Goddess Saraswati sat in Manthara’s tongue, because Goddess Saraswati had to listen to the plight of King Indra and his fellow Gods. If King Ravan did not kidnap Maa Sita, he and his brother would not have fulfilled their prophecy.
So, see, everything was conspired against Lord Rama. There are two possibilities. Either Lord Rama knew everything or Lord Rama did not know anything. Maybe Lord Vishnu had proved his worth by his karma. If we take the latter possibility as we take, then see everything was so unfair to him. He took birth in a royal family. He was about to be crowned, but he had to leave his ailing old man back in home at hand of seemingly cruel step mom. He took his newly married wife and young brother with him. Back home Prince Bharata lived life of an ascetic and placed shoes of his brothers on the throne. The old father died in a very measurable way, and Lord Ram could not even participate in his father’s funeral. Then his young wife got kidnapped by King Ravana. Ravana n Kumbhakarna died in battle. Lord Rama returned to his place with his wife and brother. Situation did not get improved, Mata Sita had to give agni pariksha because of peasant complained, that too passively.
But, one thing is clear, despite all the hardship like a true king, Lord Ram executed all of his duties without breaking a sweat. He owned his faults and didn’t curse anyone. That’s the beauty of Lord Ram. He was a good son (he kept his father’s vow by going to self exile), good brother (he didn’t have any animosity), good husband (didn’t get carried away by lust when Mata Sita was kidnapped. He tracked down the person responsible and delivered brutal justice), good friend (Hanuman, Bibhisana, Sugriba, Jambaban are examples), good father (to Lava and Kusha) and more of a good king (even a peasant has to be satisfied). Same thing can be said to the other characters, but we will discuss about them later.

We celebrate the entire Chaitra Navami by celebrating Goddess Shakti and reading Ramayana (Ramayana Parayanam). Ramayana gets enacted by actors and actresses (in earlier days boys played role of Goddesses and other women characters. 🐒🐒🐒)

Jai Siya Ram guys. Because without Mata Sita, Ram is not complete. Jay Hanuman. 🙂 🙏
