The Ramayana is an old story from India that teaches us about being
good and doing the right things. It talks a lot about "dharma,"
which means doing what's right. In the story, Rama, Sita, and others
show us how to be committed, loyal, and kind. When characters like
Ravana don't follow these good values, they face problems. The
Ramayana helps us understand how to behave in our relationships
and how to be a good leader. Overall, it's like a guide that teaches us
important lessons about being good and doing the right things in life.
ROLE IN RELIGION
The Ramayana story is still very popular today. People tell the story in new
ways like books for young adults or on TV. There was a famous TV series
called "Ramayan," and another one called "Siya Ke Ram" that told the story
from Sita's point of view. Some movies, like "Ramayana: The Epic" and the
"Baahubali" series, also drew inspiration from the Ramayana.
People like the Ramayana because it teaches important lessons about being
good, doing the right thing, and facing challenges. The story is still important
because it helps us remember our culture and traditions. The Ramayana is
not just a story; it's a part of who we are, and that's why it's still loved by
many people around the world.
