  Sri Raaman , the distinguished scion of Raghu Kulam is none other than
  Hari-NaarAyaNa Prabhu ( The Supreme ruler of the Universe)
  with beautiful long hands . LakshmaNa is the direct avathAram of 
  the nithya soori , AadhisEshan on whom the Aadhi Devan ,
  SrI Ramachandran reclines at the milky ocean in His VyUhA form.   
   
  Dear Raama BhakthAs:
  
  Today is the most auspicious SrI Raama Navami Dinam.
  Number of You might have read Sundara KaaNDam and 
  SrI Raama PattAbhishEka Sargam from Yuddha KaaNDam
  as part of the observances . 
  
  In this and the subsequent  posting for this season celebrating 
  SrIman NaarayaNA's avathAram as the son of King DasarathA 
  and Queen Kousalya , let us focus on the sections of the Baala 
  KaaNDam of  SrImadh RaamAyaNam of Adhikavi VaalmIki .
  
  At ThiruvahIndhrapuram  , there is the archA moorthy of Lord
  RaamachandrA with KodhaNDam in the left hand and an ardha-chandra
  (half-Moon) BaaNam in the other with SeethA PirAtti on His right side 
  and LakshMaNa Swamy as well as HanumAn on the left side . 
  The beauty of this archA-moorthys led Swamy  Desikan 
  to compose His Masterly Gadhyam revered as " SrI Raghu Veera
  Gadhyam " that we recite on this day. The alankAram for this ArchA
  Moorthy on SrI Raama Navami day is a feast for one's eyes.

  of the Lord on festive occasions.
