Shri Rama

Book excerpt: The Book Is Chiefly A Record Of The Activities Of Shri Rama, The Eldest Son Of King Dasaratha Of Ayodhya (Oudh) In North India In The Treta-Yuga. It Is Commonly Believed That Shri Rama Incarnated As Such With The Objective Of Getting The World Rid Of The Menace Of Demon King Ravana Of Lanka (Ceylon). In Reality Shri Rama’S Long Fourteen Years Of Exile From Ayodhya, Capital Of King Dasaratha’S Kingdom (Oudh), Was Not Only For The Extermination Of Demon King Ravana Of Lanka. The Record Of Shri Rama’S Life Story During The Period Of His Long Fourteen Years Of Exile Ending With His Victory Over Ravana And Also Establishment Of Friendly Relationships With Various Forest Kingdoms Extending Over South India And Ceylon Shows That His Life’S Mission Was Mainly The Establishment Of Cordial Relationships For India With Various Territories And Peoples In Essence To Show That Man Should Be Able To Live In The World As Friend To As Large A Number Of People As Possible. And Shri Rama Has Shown That This Is Not Only Possible But Salubrious For The Peoples Of The World At Large
