Jai Sai Master!
Jai Sai Master !
Sri Rama Navami was celebrated by Sri Ananta Bharadwaja Gurukulam students at Sri Sai Master's house at Ongole on April 1, 2012.
The day, being a sunday, started with preparations for pooja and prior to pooja, Sri Dwarakanath, son of Sri Sai Master, explained the importance of festival and asked everyone to think of Sri Rama, the embodiment of dharma. Being an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, he underwent all situations like any other human being. Babugaru, Sri Dwarakanath, explained the importance of prasad that is prepared on Navami day, soaked moong dal and water sweetened with jaggery. They are called vada pappu and panakam in local language.
While people have many scientific reasons like as this festival is celebrated in hot weather, taking these will cool down the body heat etc.., the actual story behind why these are done on that day goes back to Ramayana time.
After explaining about the importance of the day and other things, Babugaru performed laghu pooja (small pooja) and distributed prasadam to all the kids and blessed all. It is sheer fortune that they could perform the pooja to Sri Sai Master on this day as He, like Sri Rama, always stood for the parama dharma, the highest order of dharma, all through HIS life.
May Sri Sai Master bless the kids with the strength and HIS presence always to enable them stand firm on the right path all through and become beacons of dharma.
