The Hindus believe that the reciting, reading or hearing of the story of Sri Ram dispels all fears from the mind. It chases away the evils of Kaliyug.
Sri Ram was the seventh incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu. The purpose of his incarnation was to establish the supremacy of good over evil. He took this incarnation as a man, not as God. He wanted everyone to know that one could live the life of a householder, and yet be good and ethical. He lived a life worthy of emulation.
The story of Sri Ram has inspired millions of people throughout the world. Non-Hindus have enjoyed it as much as the Hindus. It advocates a life of moderation, a life where there is time for everyonethe family, the parents, the guru, the society and for God. Within it lies the essence of a better understanding of life and the world around us. It is as relevant today, as it was when first written thousands of years ago. Apart from imparting great moral lessons, the story depicts the social life, relations between raja and praja, between man and God and the laws of war prevailing during the times of Sri Ram.
The Story of Sri Ram is the ultimate example of a sons obedience towards his father, a brothers love for his brother, and a wifes devotion towards her husband. It takes you through an inspiring journey that can transform your life to one of attainment and happiness.
