Ram Navami- A Brief History Ram Navami or Rama Navami is celebrated to mark the descent of Lord Vishnu in the avatar of Lord Ram, who was born in the kingdom of Ayodhya to Queen Kausalya and King Dasharatha, in the 'Treta Yuga'. Ayodhya was the capital of the Kingdom of Kosala in Avadha. Mention of Lord Ram is not only found in ancient Hindu texts, but also in texts of Jainism and Buddhism. Lord Ram is the central figure of the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana - a text that not only has significance in India, but in cultures throughout South and Southeast Asia. Why it falls on a different day and date every year? Because it is based on the Hindu or Lunar calendar, in which every month is 28 days (based on the lunar cycle). Hence the day and date changes every year on the Gregorian calendar which is used worldwide today.

SHRINATHJI- A BRIEF HISTORY Srinathji (Thakurji) is a child form of the great Lord Krishna. The followers of Pushtimarg assert that the deity's arm and face first emerged out of the Govardhan hill (near Mathura) and thereafter, the local inhabitants (Vrajavasis) under the spiritual leadership of Madhavendra Puri started the worship of the Gopal (Krishna) deity, This Gopala deity was later known as Shrinathji. Thus, Madhavendra Puri is attributed to discovery of the deity of Gopala near Govardhana, which was later adapted and worshiped by Vallabhacharya as Shrinathji.
