Lord Ram, the Epitome of a Decorous Life

Lord Ram is the ultimate embodiment of politeness, virtue, and patience. He is a great source of inspiration for everyone, especially the youth. Every educational institution should try to inculcate such amazing qualities in its students while developing life-transforming skills in them.

Despite being a prince, Lord Ram faced unimaginable challenges in life. But he upheld His Dharma, moral values, and ethics in every situation even when things got really difficult.

Right now, no one can imagine living such a life, but students can learn a few lessons from the breathtaking life story of Lord Ram.

Maintaining Inner Balance

Lord Ram was the eldest of four brothers and was to become king of Ayodhya. His stepmother, Kaikeyi, however, wanted to see her son Bharat, become King. Lord Ram’s father, King Dashrath, had once promised to grant her any two wishes. So, she demanded that Lord Ram be banished from Ayodhya for 14 years and Bharat be crowned. King Dashrath had to keep his words and so he ordered Lord Ram’s banishment which He accepted gracefully.

So, at a young age, Lord Ram led a life of a common man and lived in a forest with his wife, Sita and younger brother, Lakshman. He maintained his inner balance in all circumstances and this is exactly what all students should learn from His life.

No matter how difficult the situation gets, you should never drop your inner balance and move on the path which is ideal for you and your family.

Never Give Up

Life was never easy for Lord Ram but He braved the toughest battles with a gentle smile on the face. He relentlessly pursued what he wanted and never gave it up.

This is what most students need to learn because when they have an undeterred spirit, half the battle is won. For facing any competitive test and grow in life a consistent effort is needed. Some students lose their spirit while moving on the path of hard work and give up. They should learn from Lord Ram and continue their efforts.

Humility is the Best Policy

Lord Ram is a prince who is well-educated and immensely powerful. He is a skilled archer having knowledge of all the great powers. Despite such vast knowledge has NEVER put an ounce of egotism on his face. Always keeps a gentle smile on his face while moving on the path of wisdom. Such humility is unparalleled.

You may be the best student in your class and a great achiever but to achieve success in practical life, you must stay humble in all circumstances. Ego and useless pride are always harmful in the long run.

Be Obedient to Your Elders & Teachers

Lord Ram never questioned his parent’s and Guru’s wishes. After finishing studies at the Gurukul, He returned to Ayodhya. Sage Vishwamitra came to the court of King Dashratha and told him how demonic forces were creating havoc. He insisted to take Lord Ram and Lakshman to protect him from their assaults.

Lord Ram agreed to take on uncouth monsters at the mere asking of his father and Guru. And this episode transformed His entire life story. So, you might not approve of your parent’s decisions today, but understand that your parents and Guru have more experience and foresight. They will always think good for you. Whatever they are saying follow that unquestionably. Eventually, you will realize that indeed they took the best decision for you.

Apart from these, various others lessons can also be learned from the incredible life of the most dignified man, Lord Ram. Some of them could be giving respect to your friends, staying watchful of temptations, giving importance to family values, giving respect to even our enemies, honouring our own words, staying loyal to a spouse and the ultimate lesson which is- the truth always prevails. So, this Ramnavmi, plant seeds of faith in your life and light the lamp of devotion to invite virtues like those of Lord Ram to live a fulfilled and contented life.
