Ramayana for Kids

Valmiki is known as AdiKabi, the first poet. He wrote an epic in Sanskrit, the Ramayana, which depicts the true life of King Rama.

Sri Ram Navami is a Hindu festival, celebrating the birth of Lord Rama to Queen Kausalya of Ayodhya and King Dasharatha. This festival is celebrated to proclaim the birth of Sriram, the 7th incarnation of Shri Vishnu. Celebrations of Ram Navami start on Gudhipadwa, the first day of Chaitra and continue for nine days. During this period, devotees do periodic readings of Ramayan, recite the Ramraksha Stotra (hymns glorifying Shri Ram), sing bhajan-kirtan in his praise and chant his name. Rama Rajya, the reign of Sri Rama, is a rare period of prosperity and peace in India. This festival commemorates the birth of Shri Rama who is remembered for his righteous and prosperous reign.
