Tomorrow is a very auspicious day in the Sanaathana Dharmaa (Hindu) calender. This is the birth anniversary of Shree Raam, an incarnation of Shree Vishnu. Shree Raam was born in Tretaa Yugaa, more than 8, 64, 000 years back, as the son of king Dasarathaa and queen Koushalyaa in Ayodhyaa. Shree Raama avathaaram is one of the 10 main incarnations of Shree Hari.
I fondly remember my beloved mother who used to perform special pujaas meant for this day regularly (except during her last few years when she couldn't, due her health condition).
(By the way, even in her last few years when her health went bad with a few hospitalisations following loose motion, lung problem etc., she used to pluck jasmine flowers and place them in a bowl of water so that I could use them in my daily puja).
