Lord Rama - the Purushottama




Lord Rama is also known as "Purushottama." It is said that "Ram se bada Ram ka naam." Ramayana is an epic which shows again n again how right conquers wrong. Although Raavana had many good qualities but he was punished for his wrong doings. Raavana never accepted Lord Raama or Hanumaan as avataras of God. Ramayana teaches us many great lessons with simple examples. Besides that Ramayana is also a sad story of the sacrifices of a king. Lord Rama is unable to live happily with mata Sita. Once bcoz of Ravana and once bcoz of principles. This shows us that principles are greater than ne1, even God. 

Lord Vishnu, as Rama n Krishna, showed that principles and responsibilities are greater than one's personal comforts. As Rama He suffered separation from mata Sita and as Krishna He suffered separation from mata Radha. So He shows us that duties are above all, even God and separation n sorrow r always part of great love stories. Even God cannot avoid d separation n sorrow that comes with Love.

Today we celebrate Ram Navami. All pay tribute to the valour of Lord Rama. I as a small bhakt of my Lord, pay my humble respects to Lord Rama who showed us that duties are more important than personal happiness and that great love stories always have as much sorrow as they have Love. Jai Sri Ram...
