Rama
also known as Shri Ram, Ram Lalla, Raghunandan and Maryada Purushottam
Rama is turned to for righteousness, steadiness, and harmony at home — Maryada Purushottam, the one who walked dharma all the way. Many honour him on Thursdays, as a form of Vishnu — a tradition to lean on, never a rule.
mantras for Rama
ॐ श्री रामाय नमः
Om Shri Ramaya Namah
जय श्री राम
the story tradition tells
His birth in Ayodhya on the ninth day of Chaitra is celebrated as Ram Navami, when devotees read the Ramayana or Ramcharitmanas and sing bhajans until noon, the hour of his birth. Tradition holds that keeping his day cultivates the patience and dharma Rama himself embodied, and Ayodhya's Ram Lalla shrine remains the heart of that devotion.
if you keep a vrat
Those who keep a Ram Navami fast traditionally break it after the evening aarti with fruit or a simple sattvic meal, often after reading a portion of the Ramayana. A verse read with full attention keeps the day just as truly.
festivals that honour Rama
meet Rama every morning
In the Sankalp app, your morning can open with a darshan of the deity you choose — a painterly portrait, a mantra, a moment before the feed. Tradition suggests; you decide.
