Register for SITA-RAMA Kalyana Utsava Vaibhavam
APRIL 4th Saturday (11:30AM - 1:30PM)
Lord Rama is considered as the Uttama Purusha (meaning: the ideal human being). He appeared on earth to show how a human being needs to lead life as a child, a son, a husband and a ruler. Goddess Sita Devi appeared on earth to help Lord Rama complete His task of bringing lawfulness and goodness on earth (Rama Rajya).
According to Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Chinna Srimannarayana Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamiji, known as Cinnajeeyar, Kalyana Utsavam to Lord Rama is performed during Rama Navami for two reasons. The first is as follows:
Lord Rama appeared on earth for the good of the world and goodness can happen in the world only through His mercy. Goddess Sita Devi is the embodiment of mercy and without Her, the Lord’s work cannot begin. Goddess Sita told Lord Rama to go on exile only if He would take Her with him. Since the Lord and His consort can never be separated, we perform the Kalyana Utsavam so that we can worship them as a couple denoting marital bliss.
The second reason why we perform Kalyana Utsavam on Rama Navami is because the Rama temple in Bhadrachalam was consecrated on Rama Navami and it is customary to perform a Kalyana Utsavam of the presiding deity during the consecration. This practice then spread to all the temples around the world.
Performing Kalyana Utsavam bestows prosperity and happiness to the devotee and the community.
