Ramayana is not only a moral story of Ram and Seeta, but also has its philosophical and spiritual significance, very few people know:

‘Ra’ means light,

‘Ma’ means within me, in my heart.

So,

Rama means the Light Within Me.

Rama was born to Dashrath & Kousalya.

Dashrath means ‘10 Chariots’.

The ten chariots symbolize the 5 organs of sense (Gnanendriya) & 5 organs of action 

(Karmendriya).

Kousalya means ‘Skill’

The skilled rider of the 10 chariots can give birth to Ram

When the 10 chariots are used skilfully, Radiance is born within.

Rama was born in Ayodhya.

Ayodhya means ‘a place where no war can happen.

--When There Is No Conflict in Our Mind, Then the Radiance Can Dawn--

The Ramayana is not just a story which happened long ago...

It is said that the Ramayana is happening in our Own Body.

Our Soul is Rama,

Our Mind is Sita,

Our Breath or Life-Force (Prana) is Hanuman,

Our Awareness is Laxmana and

Our Ego is Ravana.

When the Mind (Sita), is stolen by the Ego (Ravana), then the Soul (Rama) gets Restless.

Now the SOUL (Rama) cannot reach the Mind (Sita) on its own.

It has to take the help of the Breath – the Prana (Hanuman) by Being in Awareness (Laxmana)

With the help of the Prana (Hanuman), & Awareness (Laxmana),

The Mind (Sita) got reunited with The Soul (Rama) and The Ego (Ravana) died/ vanished.

In reality Ramayana is an eternal phenomenon happening all the time!
