RAMAYANA MONTH
Ramayana Month: A Month of Devotion, Dharma, and Divine Grace
What is Ramayana Month?
Ramayana Masam is a sacred spiritual observance held during the Malayalam month of Karkidakam, typically from mid-July to mid-August. Observed widely in Kerala and other regions, this month is dedicated to Sri Rama, with daily readings of the Ramayana, chanting, and devotional offerings.
Karkidakam, being the final month of the Malayalam calendar, is traditionally seen as a challenging time—marked by heavy rains, illness, financial strain, and astrological vulnerability. Turning to Sri Rama during this period is seen as a source of inner strength and divine protection.
Origins and Tradition
The tradition of Ramayana Masam is rooted in the devotional culture of Kerala, where families would gather to recite the Adhyatma Ramayanam Kilippattu, popularized by Thunchath Ezhuthachan. Over time, this became a communal observance, with temples leading the celebrations through parayanam (reading), pujas, and homams.
Spiritual Significance
This sacred month offers an opportunity for spiritual reset. The Ramayana is not just a story—it’s a living scripture, guiding us on how to uphold Dharma in every role of life. Chanting Rama’s name and offering devotion during this month can bring:
- Cleansing of past karma
- Relief from mental stress and planetary afflictions
- Blessings for health, peace, and family harmony
- Deeper connection to Sanatana Dharma and inner purpose
