MORARI BAPU – THE RAMAYANA EPIC POEM
The Ramayana (DevanÄgarÄ«: रामायण, RÄmÄyaṇa) is an ancient Sanskrit epic. It is attributed to the Hindu sage Valmiki and forms an important part of the Hindu canon (smá¹›ti). The Ramayana is one of the two great epics of India, the other being the Mahabharata. It depicts the duties of relationships, portraying ideal characters like the ideal servant, the ideal brother, the ideal wife and the ideal king. The name Ramayana is a tatpurusha compound of RÄma and ayana („going, advancing“), translating to „Rama’s Journey“. The Ramayana consists of 24,000 verses in seven books (kÄṇá¸as) and 500 cantos (sargas),  and tells the story of Rama (an incarnation of the Hindu preserver-god Vishnu), whose wife Sita is abducted by the demon king of Lanka, Ravana.
Thematically, the epic explores the tenets of human existence and the concept of dharma. Read More: > HERE <
The various Indian religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, have all accorded a central focus to dharma and advocate its practice. Each of these religions emphasizes Dharma as the correct understanding of reality in its teachings. In these traditions, beings that live in accordance with Dharma proceed more quickly toward dharma yukam, moksha or nirvana (personal liberation). The antonym of dharma is adharma meaning unnatural or immoral.
In traditional Hindu society, dharma has historically denoted a variety of ideas, such as Vedic ritual, ethical conduct, caste rules, and civil and criminal law. Its most common meaning however regarded two principal ideals; namely, that social life should be structured through well-defined and well-regulated classes (varna), and that an individual’s life within a class should be organized into defined stages (ashrama, see dharmasastra).
Dharma also refers to the teachings and doctrines of the founders of Buddhism and Jainism, the Buddha and Mahavira. In Buddhist philosophy, dhamma/dharma is also the term for „phenomenon„ . Read More: > HERE <
Dharma, artha and kama areimportant in matters of worldly life. Dharma and moksa should be followed judiciously if they are to lead to Self−realisation.
Patanjli, at the end of the of life and the qualities of nature moksa. Yoga Sutras, concludes that the practice of yoga frees a yogi from the aims(gunas), so that he can reach the final destination−−kaivalya or moksha.
Health and Harmony:
To acquire knowledge−−whether mundane or spiritual−−bodily health, mental poise, clarity and maturity of intelligence are essential. Health begets happiness and inspires one to further one’s knowledge of the world and of the Self. Health means perfect harmony in our respiratory, circulatory, digestive, endocrine, nervous and genito−excretory systems, and peace of mind. Hatha yoga practices are designed to bring about such harmony.
