Amma says, Ramayana is one of the great epics, which reflects the ethics of our tradition and culture. In Ramayana, we can perceive strong family rapport, adorable brotherhood, ardent guru disciple relationships and self-sacrificing personalities. Each and every character, be it Rama ,Lakshmana, Bharata, Sathrughna, Sita, Urmila, Kousalya, Sumithra, Dasaradha or Hanuman, accepted all the distressing experiences, and surrendered their whole being for the welfare of the country and others. Ravana, the immoral character in Ramayana was a person endowed with courage and strength. He had so many good qualities and was also an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva. But unfortunately he was blinded by his own ego and pride. The arrogant nature of Ravana blemished all his goodness and at last caused his obliteration.
Actually each and every personality in this sacred scripture, demonstrates our own mental stance. Rama and Ravana, both exist in our hearts. When we develop good qualities in us and spread out brightness to the entire world, Rama awakens and removes all our evil thoughts and actions. It signifies the death of Ravana and the birth of Rama in our hearts. Studying Ramayana paves the path to achieve this great state.
As part of this our staff and students started to recite the sweet melody of Ezhuthachan’s Ramayana on 17th July 2013.The head boy and house captains inaugurated the function. Chandana S Prabhakar from XII and Anagha from VIII STD reminded us the good qualities of Sri Rama and Sita. Bri Pushpa enlightened the whole staff and students with Amma’s message.
