The Rama Principle is manifested in the Gayatri Mantra. Rama is the embodiment

of three aspects of time. He is the Lord of the three worlds and is the

embodiment of the three Gunas. Hence, Sri Rama is the indwelling spirit in

every being.

Ramanavami is when nature puts on her new vesture after shedding the old. Rama

thus represents all that is beautiful in nature.

Rama is the supreme example of how people should conduct themselves in the

world, how a country should be governed, how the integrity and morality of

human beings should be protected. High-minded actions, ideal qualities and

sacred thoughts are basic foundations of character. Rama is the very embodiment

of these three attributes.

The Rama Principle is a combination of the Divine in the human and the human in

the Divine. The inspiring story of Rama presents the triple ethical code

relating to the indivi-dual, the family and the society. If society is to

progress properly, the family should be happy, harmonious and united. For unity

in the family, the individuals composing it must have a spirit of sacrifice.

Rama is immanent in the entire cosmos. Rama is present everywhere. Hence, you

have to love all, serve all... then one becomes eligible for Rama’s grace.

Rama Rajya is the reign of morality, truth and virtues. ‘Rama Rajya’ means that

which engenders happiness (Ramayati) where there is no ill will towards

anybody.
