Maryada Purushotam Shri Ram boarding Pushpak Viman after having won the golden Empire Lanka and handing it over to Vibhishana returning with his beloved wife Sita ji and dearest brother Lakshman -
Api Swarnamayi Lanka Na Me Lakshman Rochate l
Janani Janmabhoomischa Swargadapi Gariyasi ll
According to these verses while remembering his mother land Ayodhya and his mother Kaushalya with great affection Lord Ram arrived in Ayodhya, and Ayodhya had been decorated with innumerable earthen lamps and rangoli and similar is the situation today. After the struggle of hundreds of years and sacrifices made by thousands of great souls and great resolve of the fellow countryman now bhagwan Shri Ram has become free and work for constructing the world's best magnificent divine and great Shri Ram temple has now been started. Now it is high time for the devotees of Bhagwan Shri Ram that it is their greatest duty to learn from the life and character of bhagwan Shri Ram and follow the path shown by him. The politicians who are indulgences in enjoying the pleasure of being in power have got the duty or Dharma that this would learn by heart the lessons of Valmiki Ramayan , Ramcharitmanas, Raghuvansh Mahakavya, and Uttar Ram Charit etc. which are immortal scriptures and take a pledge to re-establish Ramrajya here and for crores of the people of India the life and achievements of Lord Ram are such a medicine that by taking it they will enjoy the greatest bliss. By listening the glorious story of Ikshawaku Vansh or Raghuvanshi life becomes pious and sacred as Mahakavi
Kalidas has described in Raghuvansh mahakavya-
Kva Suryaprabhavo Vanshah Kva Chalpavishya Matih l
Titirshurdustaram Mohadudupenasmi Sagaram ll
Just see where is the position of ocean like Sooryavansham or the clan of Surya and where is the position of my wisdom because for me giving description of the Surya Clan is like something as if someone tries to get across an ocean in a very small boat.
Whatever has been said in a immortal epics of the Almighty which are Vedas is being realised in the lives of the kings of Sooryavansham and Bhagwan Shri Ram exactly as the greatest Epic writer Kalidas writes-
Shaishaveabhyastavidyanam,
Yauvane Vishyaishinam l
Vardhkye Munivrittinam,
Yogenante Tanutyajam ll
These kings of Bharat varsh groomed in Ashram system and they followed the system exactly and whatever taxes collected from their subjects thousands time more than that they spent on their subjects-
Prajanameva Bhutayartham Sa
Tabhyo Balimgrahit l
Sahastragunmutastrashtumadate Hi Rasam Ravih ll
Describing this great qualities of the kings of of ikshvaku vansh in the characteristics of Bhagwan Shri Ram great poet bhavabhuti writes in Uttar Ram Charit in the beginning saying that-
Sneham Dayam Cha Saukhyam
Cha Yadi Wa Janakimapi l
Aradhnaya Lokasya Munchato
Nasti Me Vyatha ll
This means for the well-being of the subjects Bhagwan Shri Ram agreed to get separated from his most compassionate , most beloved wife Janki ji because sacrificing everything for the happiness of his subjects is the characteristics of Bhagwan Shri Ram. Adikavi Valmiki describe bhagwan Shri Ram as vigrahavan dharmah in Aranya kand 38/13 and according to the story of Bhagwan Ram he being invited for his coronation and at the instance of his step mother Kaikai he was exiled for 14 years in the jungle is the most surprising incident of the world history and most surprising thing is that Bhagwan Shri Ram did not get upset due to these ups and downs of his life as has been described by Aadikavi in following words-
Na Vanam Guntukamasya
Tyajatashcha Vasundhara ,
Sarvalokatigasyeva Lakshyate Chittavikriya ll (Ayodhyakand 19/33)
Ahutasyabhishekaya Visrishtashya Vanaya Cha l
Na Maya Lakshitastasya Managapyakara Vibhramah ll (Ayodhyakand)
In this context the greatest Hero Shri Ram who followed the path of Dharma in the best possible way says-
Nahamarthaparo Devi Lokamavastumutsahe l
Vriddhi Mamrishibhishtulyam Vimalam Dharmamasthitam ll
( Ayodhya Kand -19 / 20)
Aadi Kavi has described Sriram as someone who has the best knowledge of Dharma, who follows the path of Dharma in the best possible way, who is Dharma Vritavarum who is a tree of Dharma. On one hand bhagwan Shri Ram who is in himself an incarnation of Dharma only he is present in the truth and he never gives up the path of truth Remodwirnabhibhashate as Adikavi has himself described him saying,
Naiva Lobhanna Mohad Va Na Chagyanattamoavantih l
Setum Satyasya Bhetsyami Guroh Satyapratishravah ll
(Ayodhya 109/17)
In the whole Vedic literature there is a description of the importance of Dharma and the truth and these ideas are clearly Apparent in the character of Shri Ram in a very magnificent way and what can be the best thing in the lives of human being if we make a list of it then all such qualities can be found in abundance in the character of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram as he was so strong against his Enemies and leevil forces and he was very humble and soft for gentle people-
Vajradapi Kathorani Mriduni Kusumdapi l
Lokottaranam Chetansi Ko Hi Vigyatumharti ll
(Uttarramcharit)
He never forgets any favour done by anybody on him at any point of time in his life and never remembers the evil things done to him by others-
How kind hearted how forgiving and how magnanimous by heart Bhagwan Ram is which is reflected from the incident when he embraced Vibhishana the brother of his enemy Ravan and when the well wishers of Bhagwan Ram expressed apprehensions about Vibhishan then he reassured them by saying-
Sakrideva Prapannaya Twasmiti Cha Yachate l
Abhayam Sarvabhutebhyo Dadamyetad Vratam Mama ll
This means those who once agree to take shelter in my feet by saying that I am your own I have a duty to forgive them all. He was a man of such a great character he was an ideal king he was an ideal son and ideal brother ideal husband and ideal friend and describing the qualities of Shri Ram Valmiki rights-
Sa Hi Rupopanashca Viruavannasuyakah l
Bhuvanupamah Sunurgunairdashrathopamah ll
Sarvavidyavratasnato Yathavat Sangvedavit l
Ishvastre Cha Pituh Shreshtho Babhuva Bharatagrajah ll
Nistandrirapramattashcha Swadoshpardoshavita ll
Yamashkrashmo Virye Vrihaspatisamo Matau ll
Mahidharsamau Dhrityam Mattashacha Gunvattarah ll
Ramo Lokabhiraoayam Shauryaveerparakramaih l
Prajapalansanyukto Na Ragopahatendriyah ll
This means his beauty is unmatched he is so Brave he is one and only and has infinite qualities and he is skilled in all streams he is a person of his words he is a scholar of Vedic literature and he is greater than his father in terms of both scriptures and weapons with strong devotion stable mind and never accepts to adopt untruth and never uses bad language never shows idleness and he is as brave as Yamraj and Indra who are well aware of the flaws of others he is as wise as Vrihaspati and as patient as the earth and he is brave and never showed idleness in his life never showed any weakness in his character.
Life and achievements of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram is an ideal and greatest source of inspiration for every Indian and the festival of Ramnavami and sacred pledge to build a magnificent Ram temple fills every individual with a new energy new inspiration and it is a prayer that India become vishwaguru again free from corruption atrocities ill acts and diseases and yoga prosperity and progress become an inseparable part of our life.
