History and Significance of Ram Navami 2023:

Lord Rama is a model of truth, righteousness, virtue, bravery, courage, and duty. The seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu was born in Ayodhya to King Dashratha and Queen Kaushalya in the Tretha Yug. The Hindu epic Ramayana celebrates Lord Ram's birth on Ram Navami. Vratha Katha depicts the story of Ram Navami - since they couldn't have children, King Dashratha and his three queens—Kausalya, Kaikeyi, and Sumitra—performed the Putra Kamesti Yagna on Rishi Vashishth's advice. The three queens received Lord of Yagna-blessed kheer after the yagna. After eating the kheer, the queens conceived, and Queen Kaushalya gave birth to Rama on the ninth day of Chaitra.

The Noida authority has recently announced plans to dissolve 30 Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) in the 30 sectors of Noida, which has caused panic among the affected RWAs. The authority has sent a letter to the Deputy Registrar of Meerut requesting action to end the existence of these 30 extra RWAs, as there are already 120 RWAs present for the 90 residential sectors in the city. The authority claims that these extra RWAs often create conflicts, which can lead to problems.

However, the RWAs have different opinions on the matter. Pulkit Gupta, general secretary of RWA sector 51 block A&B, stated that it is not easy for one RWA to manage a big sector like 51 and that every sector has different geographical structures and problems, which cannot be measured by a single parameter. He also said that they will check if the authority can dissolve a registered RWA according to laws.

Sanjeev Kumar, general secretary of RWA sector 51 block C, D, E & F, welcomed the decision of the Noida authority, but also stated that practically, it is not possible for a single RWA to manage a vast area like sector 51, which is around 4-5 km. He also blamed the Deputy Registrar for registering all the RWAs.

K.K. Jain, general secretary of FONRWA, said that technically, the authority was right and that there should be only one RWA in every sector to avoid chaos and contradictions between RWAs.

Abhishek Kumar, President of NEFOWA, disagreed and said that it was a wrong move taken by the authority as one RWA cannot manage a vast area alone. He suggested that the authorities should rethink the matter and that they would write a letter to the authority regarding this.

Laxmi Narayan, President of RWA sector 19, welcomed the decision of the authority and said that they have been demanding it. He also suggested that there should be only one RWA in the sector to make it easier to work and avoid contradictions between RWAs.

Now that Ramadan has arrived; it is time to continue with the holy fast. The ninth month of the Islamic calendar is Ramadan, which is observed by Muslims all around the world. During the holy month of Ramadan there is a tradition of having meal before sunrise and this is traditionally called Sehri. Because of the summer period of this year's Ramadan, it's especially vital to eat hydrating and nutritious dishes during Sehri.

Although the purpose of the celebration is to strengthen one's faith and purify the body via fasting from dawn to dark, it can be exhausting for those who aren't well-prepared. The first meal of Ramadan is called Sehri (or suhoor) and is eaten before daybreak. The second meal, iftar, is eaten at sunset.

However, the physical demands of fasting during this holy month should not be underestimated. It can be challenging to maintain a healthy routine throughout Ramadan in the summer, what with the heat of the day and the late hours of darkness.

Drink a lot of water

Sufficient water intake during suhur is a simple yet crucial strategy to maintain hydration. Multiple studies have shown that a minimum of nearly 2 litre of water is necessary to maintain adequate hydration throughout the day during the summer fast. The key is to take it easy and not gulp it down.

Eat light and healthily

During Sehri, one should eat a small, nutritious Meal. If you believe that stuffing your face will keep you going all day, you're mistaken. The secret is eating a high-fiber diet that will keep you going strong all day long.

Eat yogurt every day

A small amount of yogurt may be all that's needed. Yogurt is an excellent choice to round out your Sehri lunch because it calms your stomach and stops acid production, both of which can lead to dehydration.

Dating is essential

Since the time of the Prophet Muhammad, it has been customary to incorporate dates in Ramadan meals. In terms of nutrition, dates are highly recommended when fasting because of their high levels of copper, selenium, and magnesium. They aid in providing energy because they are high in glucose.

Go to bed early and get up early

Sufficient sleep is the cornerstone of physical health. There are several advantages to starting the day early. So, getting enough sleep is essential for maintaining physical health during fasting. The most significant meal of the day, suhoor, is eaten before sunrise during Ramadan, therefore getting up on time is of the utmost importance.

Eat less sugar, salt, and spice

Reducing the amount of sugar, salt, and spice in your meal may help you retain less fluid. The sodium in these foods contributes to a healthy fluid balance in the body. The cells of your body lose water when you eat foods heavy in salt, which causes you to feel thirsty shortly after.

Some watery, juicy fruits to be included
