The Festival of Sita Navami

Sita Navami, also known as Sita Jayanti or Janaki Navami, is a significant festival that holds a special place in the hearts of devotees, celebrating the birth of Goddess Sita, the divine consort of Lord Rama.

As a symbol of purity, devotion, and virtue, Sita's life serves as an inspiring example of unwavering faith, love, and loyalty.

​The celebration of Sita Navami allows devotees to honor and revere her, seeking her blessings for a life imbued with grace and spiritual strength.
​Sita Navami, i.e. Sita Jayanti falls on the ninth day (Navami) of the Shukla Paksha (the waxing phase of the moon) in the Hindu month of Vaishakha. It is believed that Goddess Sita was born on this day to King Janaka of Mithila and Queen Sunayana.

Divine Birth of Mata Sita

​Sita's birth is considered a divine event, as she was discovered by King Janaka while plowing a field as part of a yagna (a ritual sacrifice). Upon finding her, the king and queen raised her as their own, giving her the name Janaki, meaning "daughter of Janaka".

Sita Navami is celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion by Hindus across the world, particularly in regions with a strong connection to the Ramayana, such as Ayodhya, Mithila, and other parts of North India. On this auspicious day, devotees wake up early, take a ritual bath, and don fresh clothes. Many observe a fast to show their devotion and commitment to Goddess Sita and Lord Rama.

Elaborate pujas (prayer rituals) are performed in homes and temples, with offerings of flowers, fruits, and sweets made to the deities. The recitation of the Ramayana and the singing of devotional songs in praise of Sita and Rama form an integral part of the celebrations. Special events, such as katha (narration of stories) and cultural programs, are organized to highlight the virtues and teachings of Goddess Sita and her impact on Hindu culture.

Sita Jayanti is not only a celebration of the birth of Goddess Sita, but also a reminder of the values and ideals she embodies. Her unwavering devotion to Lord Rama, her strength in the face of adversity, and her commitment to truth and righteousness serve as inspiring examples for all devotees. By celebrating Sita Jayanti, devotees seek the blessings of Goddess Sita and Lord Rama, hoping to imbibe their qualities and lead a life of virtue, devotion, and spiritual growth.

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
