Sri Rama symbolizes the best in the Universe. Purushottama Sri Rama is a grand narrative of Hinduism. He has demonstrated all the great qualities, especially his tyaga (sacrifice) and powerfulness in the face of all situations.

The Puranic description of the entire chain of incarnations of Bhagavan Vishnu demonstrates the various ideals that need to be demonstrated during each situation. Only by Rama’s time did human civilization become a mainstream regular lifestyle. So, an ideal leader needs to demonstrate all the principles of coexistence. Someone has to have that kind of tyaga to demonstrate the power of values, giving courage and confidence to people on the power of dharma. However, Sri Rama’s was the most challenging. Remaining within the boundaries of the human frame, he had to demonstrate the grandeur of dharma. He has done something extraordinary. He remains the grand narrative of Indian civilization, the Hindu civilization, of Sanatana Hindu Dharma.
