The Ramayana holds up the ideals to be pursued by the father, the son, the mother, the brother, the friend, the servant, the master, the teacher, the pupil, etc. Duty is God - that is the lesson the Ramayana teaches.”
THE Ramayana is not merely the story of Rama. it is an epic which proclaims the greatness of three cities--Mithila, Ayodhya and Lanka. Rama is the embodiment of Dharma (righteousness), Lakshmana is the embodiment of Sraddha (dedication). Bharata embodies Bhakti (devotion), Shatrughna personifies Sakti (valour). Dharma is associated with Sraddha. The protecting cover for Bhakti is Sakti. Hence Rama and Lakshmana were always together as a pair, and Bharata and Satrughna as another... Swami spoke about the above wonderful aspects of the Ramayana in His Ramanavami Discourse on 7th April 1987..Below is the text link to read the complete Discourse.. http://www.sssbpt.info/ssspeaks/volume20/sss20-07.pdf Sai Ram -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "saimsg" group.
