Why do we celebrate Sita Navami?

5/1/2020

Once Maharaja (king) Janaka was ploughing a piece of land to perform a very important Yagna (fire-lab). There they found a little baby girl in a golden casket. Since this baby girl was found on ploughed land, which is called sita, she was named Sita.

Maharaja Janaka adopted the girl as his own daughter. This is the reason that Sita is also called as Janaki- the daughter of Janaka.

The ninth day (Navami tithi) of the Vaishakha month (Hindu lunar calendar) Shukla Paksha (bright/ waxing phase of the moon) is considered as the birth anniversary of Goddess Mata Sita. Because of this, this day is also called as Sita Jayanti.

As this day happens to be on a navami tithi, it is also called as Sita Navami or Janaki Navami.

Goddess Mata (mother) Sita is revered by many in India. She is lovingly referred to as Mata Sita as well as Sita Maiya, which is another way to address her as mother Sita.

She is particularly revered by married women and many times; married women keep a fast on Sita Navami (Janaki Navami) day to obtain the Goddess’s blessings and seek long lives for their husbands.

Maitreyi Paradigm

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.
