~~~~~~~OM ~ OM ~ OM ~~THE RAMA STORY~~ OM ~ OM ~ OM~~~~~~~~~~

The Rama Story, Stream of Sacred Sweetness, has been, for millions of men, women and children,
for over a millennium, the perennial source of solace during sorrow, vitality when floored by
vacillation, illumination while confounded, inspiration in moments of dejection and guidance
while caught in quandries. It is an intensely human drama, where God impersonates as man and
gathers around Him, on the vast world stage, the perfect and the imperfect, the human and the
sub-human, the beast and the demon, to confer to us by precept and example, the boon(precious
gift) of Supreme Wisdom. It is a story that plays its tender fingers on the heart-strings of
man,evoking lithe, limpid responses of pathos, pity, exultation, adoration, ecstasy and surrender,
rendering us transformed from the animal and the human, into the Divine which is our core.

The Ramayana, the Story of Rama, has become a curative corpuscle in the blood stream of mankind,
over vast areas of the globe. It has struck root in the conscience of peoples, prodding and
prompting them along the paths of Truth, Righteousness,Peace and Love.

Rama is the Indweller in every Body. He is the Atma-Rama, the Rama (Source of Bliss) in every
individual. His blessings upsurging from that inner Spring can confer Peace and Bliss.
He is the very embodiment of Dharma - of all the Codes of Morality that hold mankind together
in Love and Unity. The Ramayana, the Rama story teaches two lessons: the value of detachment,
and the need to become aware of the Divine in every being.

Faith in God and detachment from objective pursuits are the keys for human liberation.
Give up sense objects - you gain Rama. Renunciation leads to joy: attachment brings about
grief. BE IN THE WORLD, BUT, NOT OF IT. The Awareness of the Absolute is acquired after
undergoing travails in the crucible of Life.
Make your heart pure and strong, contemplating the grandeur of the Ramayana.
Be established in the faith that Rama is the Reality of your Existence.
