The Greatest Punya of Treta Yuga
The true Vision of the Lord,
Who manifested as Ten Incarnations !

Q - Why is Kataka Masa considered as Ramayana Masa ?


A - The esoteric meaning of Ramayana is " Ra Maayanam" or Destruction of the Six Enemies of Man, Lust, greed, anger, jealousy, sloth & gluttony.


Ramayana is based on the Life of an Exemplar, Lord Rama. He was born with exalted Sun in Aries, Jupiter exalted in Cancer, Venus exalted in Pisces, Saturn exalted in Libra and Mars exalted in Capricorn. He was born with Cancer, Kataka rising and Kataka Month came to be known after him !
