Karachi – Ram Navami (RamNomi) is the birthday of Lord Ram. This year (2011) Ram Navami will be celebrated on April 12th. It is the 9th day of the Hindu calender and coincides with the last day of Navaratras.

The day begins with the prayers dedictated to Sun. It is celebrated with the procession of Ram Nomi, in which people are dressed as Lord Ram, Sita, Laxman and Hanuman whereas others follow them dressed like Ram’s soldiers. Lord Ram is seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu and is known as the God of peace and prosperity.

Many known figures in India are giving their greetings on RamNavami. Amitabh Bachchan aka Big B blogged his greeting: “Ram Navmi ke paavan avsar pe aap sab ko hardik shubhkamanayein .. sneh, shraddha, samriddhi aur mangalmay jeevan ..!”

Lord Ram was born to the King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya of Ayodhya. Sri Ram Navami also marks the beginning of summer because the sun starts moving nearer to the northern Hemisphere. Ram is also known as Raghupati, Raghunatha and the prefix ‘Raghu’ refers to Sun.

Note by Editorial : Protecting Pakistan's Hindus is moral and religious obligation of Hindus around world. Because Hindus in Pakistan are indigenous community with roots to Indus Valley Civilization. To this day the temples that Pakistanis destroyed (mostly in Punjab and Sindh around 1,000) in 1992 in response to the destruction of the Babri mosque in India have not been restored. They have also suffered grievously since the founding of the nation in 1947.

“Every month a Hindu family leaves for neighboring India. Insecurity, killings, kidnappings and forcible conversion of women to Islam are the major causes,” said Jaipal Chabria, a Hindu politician in Pakistan.

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) says that every year about 300 Hindu girls are abducted and converted to Islam against their will in Sindh province alone.

Pakistan's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, is reported to have said in 1947: "In due course of time Hindus will cease to be Hindus and Muslims will cease to be Muslims - not in a religious sense for that is the personal faith of an individual- but in a political sense as citizens of one state." Therefore a cultural and institutional marginalisation of Hindus in Pakistan is a travesty of human dignity and freedom of Pakistan's own founding principles that its Hindus have suffered so grossly.

Introduction : Hare Rama Foundation (HRF) of Pakistan is non-Government & non-profit Organization, registered under Society Act (1860) with Government of Pakistan, Working for the development of the poor and deserving people of Pakistan who aim to contribute their practical services to uplift and develop the whole community.

HRF is working for the Hindus and Scheduled Caste (SC) Hindus rights, Women rights, Interfaith Harmony & Educational Improvements in rural areas without any discrimination of race.

Appeal for donations : Hindus in Pakistan are not just a marginalised section but a community which is also very vulnerable to persecution and conversion. There is agent need to arrange mass Hindu wedding for poor Hindus in Pakistan before a third party takes advantage.

We will really appreciate if anyone can help us in this regard, Contact us or give online donation at our blog -

Introduction : Katasraj Mandir (Punjabi: کٹاس راج مندر (Shahmukhi), कटासराज मन्दिर (Devanagari)) is a Hindu mandir situated in Katas village in the Chakwal district of Punjab in Pakistan. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple has existed since the days of Mahābhārata and the Pandava brothers spent a substantial part of their exile at the site.
