VALUES OF RAMAYANA
1. Honor Your Word
The first lesson taught by the Ramayana is to value one’s word and
honor it, no matter what price you have to pay for it. King Dashratha
sent his dearest son, Rama on exile to honor the word he had given to his
wife, Kaikeyi, despite the fact that it was wrong on her part to make
such a demand from the King. Similarly, Rama accepted his fate happily
to honor the word of his father.
2. Never Pay Heed to Evil Advice
Next among the top 10 lessons taught by the Ramayana is that one
should never pay heed to evil advice as Kaikeyi did by listening to
Manthara and asked King Dashratha to exile Lord Rama. This is what
caused the death of the king and miseries in their lives.
3. Attachment (Maya) can Lead to Suffering
When Sita forced Rama to get her the Golden Deer as she was attracted
by its magical beauty, this became the reason behind her suffering as she
was abducted by Ravana while Rama left to get the deer. This incident
teaches us that attachment is the root to suffering.
4. The Importance of Righteousness
Lord Rama has been as “Maryada Purushottam”, which means that he
took every step to be righteous in his life, whether it was giving up his
kingdom to keep his father’s word or forsaking his wife, Sita, on the
quest of one of his subjects.
5. Not Accepting what is not Rightly Yours
Bharata is considered as one of the noblest characters of the Ramayana,
who has set an example for us that it is not right to accept what isn’t
justly ours. He refused to be crowned the king of Ayodhya in place of

his brother, Rama, who was unjustly sent to exile by his mother,
Kaikeyi.
6. Love for God is beyond the Boundaries of Caste and Creed
When Lord Rama readily ate the fruits nibbled by his low caste devotee,
Sabari, he gave a lesson to his followers that true love and devotion for
God is beyond all the barriers of caste and creed and all humans are
equal in the eyes of God.
7. Protecting a Woman’s Honor is a Noble Deed
Another life lesson given by the Ramayana is that one should not think
twice in helping a women and protecting her honor. The noble bird
Jatayu gave up his life for saving Sita from the clutches of Ravana. In
return, all the last rites of the bird were performed by Lord Rama
himself.
8. The Power of True Dedication
The Ramayana gives another important lesson of true devotion and
friendship by the example of the relationship between Lord Rama and
his ardent devotee, Hanuman, who did everything he could do for his
Lord. He tore his heart to show that his master resided in it.
9. Pride Always has a Fall
Ravana was a great warrior who was blessed with immortality by Lord
Shiva, but it was his pride which took him to his downfall. The lesson of
humility thus comes from the Ramayana, as Vibhishana, the humble
brother of Ravana, played a key role in the death of the evil demon.
10. The True Goal of One’s Life is to Kill the Demons Within
According to the Ramayana, one should make an effort to do good deeds
and put an end to the demons within us. True love and devotion towards
Lord will guide us on the right path in our lives.
