The festival of Deepawali is celebrated by way of lighting diyas remembering the return of Ram in Ayodhya after completing 14 years of vanwaas and defeating Ravan.
We have read Ramayana several times and there are many small stories in between. Some of them are:
1. When everybody was perplexed about crossing SAGAR to reach Lanka, Jambuwant came forward to inspire Hanuman and reminded him of his powers. The moral behind is that we donot realise our strengths and capacity. In present, corporates spend a substantial amount in inspirational programs undertaken by several personalities. Some of the people like Shiv Khera has taken this as a profession.
2. When Rishi Viswamitra visited Dashrath asking for the protection of his yagnashala from the evil powers of Ravan, he need not had to beg. Instead, Lord Dashrath honored him by offering his own chair and deputed his two sons for protecting the yagnashala of Rishi. Can we anticipate it today?
There are many such stories in Ramayana, which is relevant today too. This is why, It is eternal epic.
We need to read and understand Ramayana to enlighten our hearts and remove the darkness from our life.
Tamso Ma Jyotirgamay.
