At the San Diego Hare Krishna Temple
The Ramanavami celebration observes the birth of Lord Rama, and is one of the most auspicious days in the Vaisnava calendar. Lord Rama is an incarnation of the Supreme Lord who appeared on this earth several millennia ago. It is a popular occasion, as Lord Rama is very dear to many devotees. During His activities while on Earth, Lord Rama demonstrated high moral values and acted as the perfect son, student, brother, husband and king. His extraordinary adventure is marvelously depicted in the famous epic The Ramayana.
