The Ramayana isn't merely an ancient text-it's a living force that has molded the moral compass of over a billion people across generations. What makes Rama extraordinary isn't his divine status but his profound humanity: his mental fortitude, ethical clarity, and unwavering commitment to dharma despite overwhelming personal challenges. While experiencing the full spectrum of human emotions-love, grief, anger, joy-his decision-making remained remarkably unclouded by self-interest. This explains why the Ramayana endures as India's most beloved epic, with celebrations like Diwali drawing billions worldwide to commemorate Rama's triumph. Even modern leaders from Sundar Pichai to the Dalai Lama cite Rama's principled leadership as inspiration. As Brahma prophesied: "As long as mountains stand and rivers flow on earth, this story of Rama will flourish in the world."
