discover lord rama

The ideal prince whose epic journey in the Ramayana teaches honor, courage, and the triumph of good over evil.

Who Is Lord Rama?

Lord Rama is the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu and the hero of the Ramayana, one of the two great Sanskrit epics. Known as Maryada Purushottam (the ideal man), Rama is revered as the perfect son, husband, brother, and king.

Rama's story — his exile to the forest, the abduction of his wife Sita by the demon king Ravana, and his epic battle to rescue her with the help of Hanuman and the monkey army — is one of the most beloved stories in world literature.

Why Children Love Rama's Story

The Ramayana is the ultimate adventure story for children: a brave prince, a beautiful princess, a devoted monkey warrior, a terrifying villain, epic battles, and the triumph of good over evil. These elements make it as engaging as any modern adventure tale.

In "The Marvelous Hindu Deities," Rama is presented with his iconic bow, conveying his role as both a gentle prince and a mighty warrior. Children see a hero who wins not through aggression, but through righteousness.

Rama's Lessons for Young Minds

The Ramayana offers timeless values for children:

  • Honor and duty — Rama accepts exile to honor his father's promise, teaching respect for commitments.
  • Devotion — The love between Rama and Sita, and Rama and Hanuman, models deep, selfless relationships.
  • Good over evil — Rama's victory over Ravana, celebrated as Diwali, teaches that right always prevails.
  • Leadership — As king, Rama ruled with justice and compassion (Ram Rajya), modeling ideal leadership.
