Ram
Sri
Ram is the 7th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The personality
of Lord Ram stands out unique and the most glorious as compared
to any other character described in the spiritual scripture.
Sri Ram is the ideal of uncompromising
goodness. Nowhere else does one find such idealistic
perfection in all walks of life combined in a single individual.
Thus Ram was at once, a perfect
son, ideal king, a true husband, a real friend, a devotee
brother, a noble enemy and so on. Sri Ram is the peerless
symbol of the highest ideal, the personification of every
virtue, Maryada Purushottam, to be above reproach in
every respect.
:: Seeta
Mother
Seeta is an ideal woman who is not only Pativrata (faithful
to husband), but also a symbolic of glory of Hindu womanhood.
She is an exceptional character that has been wonderfully
delineated as to win universal admiration, appreciation and
sympathy. Seeta’s devotion to Sri Ram is exemplary.
:: Lakshman
Lakshman
characterized as the very embodiment of the principle of service.
Sri Ram as well as Seeta attest his efficiency and services.
Angry & violent he can be, but at the bottom, has a simple
and kind nature. Simple as he is then, possesses many lovable
qualities, all springing from his utmost devotion to his elder
brother Sri Ram.
:: Hanuman
Hanuman
or Sri Anjaneya as he is fondly known as the crest
jewel in the gem studded mala of Ramayan. He is the scintillating
brilliance of manifold virtues distilled as it were throwing
its aura around on mankind. His humanity, strength of purpose,
devotion to duty are some of his striking qualities. His physical
stamina is astounding. His courage,
intelligence and strength are exemplary. His
greatest quality is devotion to Sri Ram. Thus, he is
also called Ram Bhakta.
:: The Ramayan
The
great epic, the Ramayan, with its universal appeal
even today, has inspired generations of people even beyond
the shore of Bharat (India).
The captivating charm of the epic is because of the fact that
the mighty truth, the godhead indicated in Upnishads, has
descended as an avatar, out of compassion to of humanity.
It is the descent of the Lord for the ascent of Man! In the
epic, Ram and Seeta take the roles of an ideal couple who
have set example to enable human being to live his and her
way of life in thought, word and deed under all conditions
and circumstances. The epic is a character of duties for husbands
and wives, parents and children, brothers, friends and attendants,
rulers and the ruled. The intensely human qualities of head
and heart of the divine couple, portrayed through-out the
Ramayan, have an eternal control and hence a relevant appreciation
to the present day family, community, national and international
materialistic life of tension and confusion. |
