Why Sita Navami 2025 Is So Spiritually Powerful

Numerologist Rishabh A Grover notes that May 6, 2025, carries powerful vibrations of the number 6—symbolic of balance, harmony, and love. “The number 6 resonates deeply with home, compassion, and feminine power—all qualities embodied by Sita,” Grover explains. “It’s a perfect numerical alignment to invoke divine blessings for family and marital harmony.”
