1 The Spiritual Meaning of Ramayana
2 SRI RAM Sri Ram is the embodiment of the Cosmic Self, the Eternal Ruler of the Universe. Sri Ram is within our consciousness, within our heart, within the cell and within the DNA of everyone
3 RAMAYANA PURPOSE Sri Ramayana presents the formula for the spiritual path and enlightenment of every human being and for establishing WorldPeace for all generations to come Sri Ramayana plays its drama on all levels of life: physical, mental, social and spiritual.
4 RAMAYANA STORY First, Birth and Education of Ram and his Brothers Exile of Ram to the Forest Visit of Ram to hermitages Killing of the golden deer Abduction of Sita Death of Jatayu The Pact with Sugriva The slaying of Bali Devotion of Sri Hanuman, The crossing of the ocean Burning of Lanka and the killing of Ravana, And finally Ram s Rulership of Ayodhya
5 RAMAYANA HISTORICAL VALUE Ramayana in its full range transcends the milestones of history. It is the eternal play of human evolution, to restore DHARMA (righteousness) on earth.
6 PURUSHA - PRAKRITI King Dasharatha with Eight Ministers EGO-INTELLECT-MIND SPACE-AIR-FIRE-WATER-EARTH
7 THREE QUEENS Kausalya - Kaikeyi - Sumitra
8 RANGE OF RAMAYANA Sri Ram and his brothers represent the four Veda s which contain together all wisdom of the universe and on all levels of existence. Also all principles of Vedanta, Sankhya, Yoga, Ayurveda, Vaastu, Jyotish, etc. can be localised in the holy texts of Ramayana.
9 FOUR BROTHERS Ram Bharath Lakshman - Sutrighna SAMA VEDA BHARATH RIG VEDA RAM YAJUR VEDA LAKHSMAN ATHARVA VEDA SUTRIGHNA
10 SITA - RAM The marriage of Sri Ram and Ma Sita is the Re-Union of wisdom-intellect-devotion with the Cosmic Self
11 RAM S EXILE TO THE FOREST Exile to the Forest symbolizes the life path we have to go according to our Dharma/Karma.
12 THE GOLDEN DEER The golden deer symbolizes our desires for the material world ignoring our divine nature
13 MA SITA S ABDUCTION In the forest Sita is kidnapped by Ravana the demon king The abduction of Sita (wisdom-intellect-devotion) separates her from Ram, the cosmic Self.
14 Ravana kills Jatayu, King of Bird By killing Jatayu the whole nature changed and all the worlds became covered with darkness and the wind did not blow and the sun lost his lustre. When wisdom is lost in the world, nature will degenerate too
15 RAM MEETING THE APES Rama promised Sugriva that he would slay Bali and make Sugriva the king of the monkeys. Sugriva consecutively promised to help Rama in his mission. : BALI: Intellect with ego (ahamkara) which has to be killed SUGRIVA: Intellect that needs support to surrender HANUMAN: Mind full of devotion (bhakti)
16 SRI HANUMAN-JI Sri Ram asked Hanuman to go with his army to the south to find Sita Sri Hanuman is that humble mind, faithful and devotional who gives his life in unconditional love to the Lord.
17 THE ARMY OF THE APES The monkey army went to the south and arrived at the seaside. They did not know how to cross the ocean to reach Lanka where Sitadevi was prisoned by Ravana The monkey army can be compared with our mind with thoughts running all over the place and jumping from branch to branch
18 HANUMAN FLIES OVER THE SEA Hanuman flies over the ocean and reaches Lanka. There he enters the beautiful city and meets first Ravan s brother Vibhashan. Sri Hanuman lost his supernatural powers when he was a young child but contemplating on his Lord all powers are spontaneously coming back and can be used for the sake of the Self
19 THREE BROTHERS IN LANKA Ravana - Vibhashana - Kumbhakarna SATTVA HARMONY THREE GUNAS RAJAS PASSION TAMAS INERTIA
20 Hanuman finds Sitadevi Sitadevi (wisdom) and Hanumanji (devotional mind) meet each other in an environment full of ego, revenge and sensory pleasures
21 TEN-HEADED RAVANA The Ten Heads of Ravana symbolize the five senses of perception (hearing, touching, seeing, smelling and tasting and the five senses of action (arms, legs, tongue, organs of secretion and procreation.
22 HANUMAN AND LAKSHMAN Lakshman felt unconscious when attacked by Meghanada, Ravana s son, who was an expert in black magic The medical flower Sanjivini from the Himalayas symbolizes the need and strenght of natural resources when a new age is dawning
23 LORD RAMA KILLS RAVANA After a long battle Rama killed Ravana by shooting him in his navel area. By remembering the Lord with a devotional heart all demons inside ourselves will be killed
24 RAMA-SITA S RETURN TO AYODHYA The crowning of Ram (cosmic Self) and Sita (wisdomdevotion) symbolizes the goal of every human being living a life in peace, joy and happines.
25 WHEN SRI RAM IS LIVELY When Sri Ram is lively in our hearts, then His Light shines from our personality. Our disposition is kind and generous, we are flexible, gentle, peaceful, patient, joyful and strong.
26 THE KINGDOM OF RAM Rama-Raja dukha kahu na vyapa (Ramcharitmanas, Utt. Kanda 20.1) In the whole kingdom of Sri Ram was peace and joy. There was no crime, fighting or suffering. Everyone loved the other as himself.
