Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF):

Lord Rama lives in our hearts as the epitome of an ideal man who abides by dharma alone with love for every living thing in His heart. 

He has imparted many life lessons that are relevant even in this contemporary era.

Epitomising love, loyalty, humility and commitment in every gesture, Rama teaches us to carry compassion and courage with equal fervour. 

He did not stray away from the path of righteousness, come what may. 

This is something we all need to follow to lead an enriched life. 

Imparting effective leadership with fairness and concern for His fellow beings, Rama demonstrated immense self-control and benevolence. 

Hail Sri Rama for His persona is a harmonious union of nobility and integrity! 

He teaches us to tackle all challenges in life with resilience and self-belief. 

Let the divine narratives unfold, offering wisdom and inspiration.
