Happy SriRama Navami
In the Hindu Sampradhaya, Astami and Navami are actually considered inauspicious days. So, it seems these two days went to Maha Vishnu and cried out their woes-"Everyone in this universe considers us inauspicious. No one wants to start any new venture or make a new investment on our days. We feel neglected and dejected. After all, we also signify some days in the calendar. Please help us, O Protector of the Universe". Maha Vishnu smiled and granted a boon to each of these two days. And guess what?The Supreme Lord was born in two of his most prominent avatars on these two days: Janmaashtami and Ramanavami. Indeed, he listens to our prayers.
ps:Astami and Navami actually mean the 8th and the 9th day since the Lord goes to war with the evil forces. I am not sure why they were considered inauspicious the first place. But my mom always tells me to remember not to do anything new on these two days.hmm..intriguing
