Rama rajya
RAMA RAJYA - THE EPITOME OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY
The festivals associated with Rama's incarnation and celebrated In India are Rama Navami, Diwali and Dussehra. The first one is associated with the birth of Lord, Rama, the seventh incarnation of Vishnu. This birthday of Rama falling on the ninth day of the Hindi month called Chaitra is celebrated in almost all Vaishnava temples. Congregations are organized, sermons delivered and songs sung by devotees.

Dussehra is the culmination of the ten-day celebrations, organized to exhibit the episodes from the life of Lord Rama. For the first nine days the whole story of Rama is enacted on stage with great pomp and show. On the tenth day the last episode of Rama ' s victory over Ravana is shown and the effigies of Ravana, his brother Kumbhkarna and his son Indrajit are burnt amidst loud rejoicings. In all the big cities of UP, Bihar, MP, Delhi and Mysore this festival is a day of mass celebrations. Lakhs of people gather in vast fields and open spaces to witness the burnings of the effigies and the fire works following the same.

Diwali is celebrated, according to one legend, on the day Rama was crowned after his return to Ayodhya with Sita. As Rama had ascended the throne on this day, King Vikramaditya who probably started the custom of lighting lamps as a part of Diwali festival selected the same auspicious day for the coronation too. Diwali is the most important festival of the trading community in Western India, where money is spent lavishly on this day. Sweets are distributed amongst friends and relatives; public buildings in cities are beautifully illuminated and children are supplied with a good stock of crackers, which they use till late hours in the night. Houses are cleans and neatly whitewashed while in business houses new account books are started.

According to one of the Upanishads, named RAMA-PURVTAPNI Upanishad, "Just as the whole nature of the large banyan tree is contained in its tiny seed, so also the whole universe moving and unmoving, is contained in the word-seed Rama".
