**HYDERABAD, INDIA (April 6, 2025)** – As Sri Rama Navami approaches, Vedic scholars are advising devotees on specific puja rituals to enhance the auspiciousness of the festival. Celebrated across India with great devotion, Rama Navami marks the birth of Lord Rama. This year, scholars suggest performing pujas during midday, coinciding with Lord Rama’s birth time, for optimal blessings.
The scholars highlight the recitation of the Rama Raksha Stotram as a key aspect of the celebrations. They claim that reciting this hymn improves eloquence and offers protection from negative influences. Furthermore, they recommend a unique ritual involving tying a thread adorned with eleven knots, each tied after reciting the Rama Raksha Stotram eleven times. This thread, after being offered at the feet of Lord Rama’s deity, should then be worn on the wrist for continued blessings. The thread should be red and yellow, symbolizing auspiciousness.
The scholars believe that these practices, coupled with midday puja, will ensure an auspicious Rama Navami for all devotees. Many devotees are expected to visit temples across the country to seek blessings during the festival.
