Sri Rama Navami holds special significance for our Temple and It is a holy tradition among devotees of The Hindu Temple of St.Louis to celebrate Sri Sita Rama Kalyanam on Chaitra Suddha Navami.  We inaugurated the Cultural and Educational Center on that day in April 2019 with a fantastic celebration of Sita Rama Kalyanam in the CEC with several thousands in attendance. When COVID19 struck us last March and we closed the temple briefly, Rama Navami was the occasion we moved the festivities online with another special Sita Rama Kalyanam with large group of devotees sponsoring and participating in the function virtually and doing the pujas at their home following the priest instructions. Our volunteers then completed the occasion by delivering Prasadam to Sponsors’ homes safely.

The sponsorship during COVID19 gave the impetus and funds to keep the Temple operations going during the 2020 summer as we redefined how Temple can manage festivals, pujas and  devotee visits for rest of the year. As the 2021 Rama Navami comes around and we slowly return to normalcy this year, we look forward to same level of engagement and enthusiasm from devotees for this year’s celebrations as well at Hindu Temple Cultural and Community Center.  Please come with your family and friends to participate in this divine event and receive the blessings of Sri Sita Ramachandra Swami.
