The Story of RAMA
Avatar
In RAMA Avatar, Lord Vishnu
incarnates himself as RAMA, the central character in the
epic Ramayan. In the epic, the character RAMA is expected
to show the world the characteristics of an ideal person,
including ideal son, ideal husband, ideal king and an
ideal person. RAMA was incarnated upon this planet to get
rid of the asura with ten heads, Ravana, who had been
granted a boon by Brahma of immunity from gods, and other
celestial beings. Ravana was too vainglorious to be
thinking of being vanquished by a man. Hence RAMA was born
and Lakshmi, wife of Lord Vishnu was born as Sita, his
wife to be in this life. The story of Ramayan, is an
exciting nail-biting story of the war raged by Rama
against various evil elements of the world and in the end
against Ravana.
Ramayan
epitomises the ideal behaviour of man, with special focus
on man-wife relationship, son-father relationship and the
rules for ideal governance by a king.
