Sage Valmiki's epic
the sacred Ramayana
is beyond than a tale of
the loveable incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
The custom of the Raghu clan
has been running for ages
for it was about
never breaking promises
even if you have to give in to death
even if it meant embarking
on a fourteen-year exile with your
brother and wife
to keep your father's promise from
going down the drain.
That was the greatness
of Lord Sri Ram
who was not just the
the devotee of his father, King Dashrath
the pride of his three brothers
the loving husband of Sita
he was the purest form of humility
with an ocean of great qualities
who the people of Ayodhya
adored for his courageousness.
He was the supreme being in honour
a perfect embodiment of
virtue and chivalry
morality and truth
righteousness and generosity.
He was Maryada Purshottam.
