“Now in the Treta Yuga when Shri Rama came, the idea of kingship and rulership started, so the greatest emphasis was on the goodwill of the people. The people had to have goodwill, for the people and for the king, and for the betterment of humanity. The will. That is the right side. So how to create the goodwill? First the leader has to sacrifice and show how far he can go on sacrificing to keep the moral and the goodwill of the people.So the right side was created by the advent of Shri Rama because he showed a path of creating among people the awareness that they should be ruled, that they should not be anarchists. There should be one head who should be able to organize, coordinate and work out a collective thing”

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Jai Shri Mataji !
Today on this auspicious day of Shri Rama Navami, we are going to worship Shri Mataji in the form of Shri Rama to celebrate His birth.
Shri Rama, the seventh incarnation Shri Vishnu was born on the ninth day of Chaitra(March/April) month at noon time in Ayodhya to the Raghuvanshi clan. Raghuvanshi is believed to be a lineage of kings tracing its ancestry to Surya. Ram Navami marks the end of the nine days of celebration and worshiping of the Devi during the Vasant Navaratri.
Shri Mataji has given us divine knowledge that He was the one of the mildest Avataras though, He born in the Dynasty of the Surya with the blessings of Shri Agni.This Maryada Purushottama came on this earth to develop right channel, to establish righteousness among the people, to establish ideal human being.
“So as Shri Vishnu, when He thought of taking His incarnation, because He is the one who is the preserver. He’s the preserver of this creation and also the preserver of dharma. So when He took His incarnation He had to see that people keep to their dharma. By keeping the dharma all right only, you could get your realization. So the job was quite difficult one, I should say, to keep people in the central path of Mahalakshmi. So by first incarnation, you can say that, He tried to create a benevolent king, as Shri Rama. Socrates has described a benevolent king.”
(Shri Krishna Puja. Saffron Walden (England), 14 August 1989.)
“Shri Rama wanted to establish the high ideas to be emulated by humanity. Socrates, as you all know called him ‘a Benevolent King.’Actually all the events that occurred in the life span of Shri Rama like ‘Ahilaya Uddhar,’ ‘Moksha’ to (Adiwasi woman Shabri), Killing of Bali, who was the king of monkeys, who was doing adharma, as well as the killing of Ravana because he kidnapped Shri Sitaji, to establish the rule of Dharma. Actually, Shri Rama was ‘Dharmatita’ i. e. Beyond Dharma. But strictly speaking, Dharma was in born in him i. e. he should be called ‘Dharmasthita.’ He was the embodiment of Dharma.”
(Shri Rama Navami Puja, Noida House (India), 5 April 1998)
“Shri Rama was the Purushottama – means He was the best among all the human beings. That means He incarnated as a human being, total human being, showing all the qualities of human beings. Like He was, He married the Lakshmi principle that was Sita, and then also He lived a normal married life. When He gave Her up He lived like an ascetic to show how a man should lead his life in a proper dharma as a married man. And even when the wife has gone away, how He was leading a life of complete chastity. And He never had another marriage, though many people said that “You should have another marriage.”
(Shri Krishna Puja. Saffron Walden (England), 14 August 1989.)
