Five life lessons we learn from the Life of Lord Rama and Ramayana 1. Value Unity and Relationships – More Than Greed, Pride and Power Lord Rama valued all relationships. He willingly chose to spend 14 years in a forest to protect his father’s much-esteemed honor. During this time, Laxman – his half-brother – even accompanied him to vanvas to support him. King Dashratha had three wives and four sons; and all of them loved each other immensely. Their love was so pure that their hearts were united even when they were physically apart. Bharat, another brother of Lord Ram who was given the mighty throne, never considered himself a king. Instead, he waited for Lord Rama to return home and handed the kingdom back to him. Lesson: Always stand together as a family. The fruits of togetherness will give you the power to sail through the worst storms. Every relationship is an opportunity for us to rise above greed, anger, and power. If we hold love higher than everything else, our value and respect for life increase automatically. Moreover, it purifies our souls and sets us on the path to good karma. 2. Embrace All – Irrespective of Caste, Creed or Colour Lord Rama was so humble and kind that he treated everyone equally. He even readily ate the fruits nibbled by Sabari – a poor old woman who had nothing much to offer but pure love. Lesson: Love and respect everyone. Do not discriminate against anyone based on caste, creed, color, or status. 3. Stay Away from Negative People The third wife of Dashratha, Queen Kaikeyi, loved Rama more than her own son Bharat. However, her handmaiden, Manthara poisoned her mind with negativity. Manthara convinced Kaikeyi to send Rama into exile and insisted on Bharat being crowned as the king. Lesson: Guard yourself against vicious counsel and stay away from negative people. A negative mind can easily brainwash all the good inside you. 4. Forgiveness Trumps Revenge When Ravana learned that Laxman had insulted his sister Surpanakha, he went to seek vengeance and abducted Sita. However, this feeling of revenge cost him his life. On the other hand, Lord Rama and Sita were forgiving and kind to all. They even granted forgiveness to Kaikeyi, Rama's stepmother, the one responsible for sending him into exile. Lesson: Be forgiving in nature. Anger and revenge do not bring any good; they do not allow us to move on to better things. 5. Victory of Good over Evil Ravana was highly intellectual, but a cruel and arrogant king. He kidnaps Lord Rama‘s wife, Sita, to claim revenge from him and his brother Laxman for having cut off the nose of his sister Surpanakha. However, in the end, Lord Rama wins the battle and rescues Sita. Lesson: No matter how bad the circumstances be in life, good will always prevail over evil. In today’s modern life, many of us have stopped believing in the ideals laid out by our venerated scriptures. However, in reality, these lessons are truly enlightening and important to lead a life by good karma. By following these lessons, we are sure to experience peace, harmony, and contentment in life. #Rammandir2024 #LordRama #Ramayana #DrSureshKPandeyKota #SuViEyeHospitalKota #DrVidushiSharmaKota #viralreels #ViralFacebook #viralreelsfb #viralshorts #viralpage #viralsposts
