I shall begin with the virtues and teachings of the Ramayan first. The teachings of the Ramayan and the Mahabharat are relevant even today. It has more than seventy-four thousand verses and is divided into eighteen books.It is the longest epic written in the Sanskrit language. The Mahabharat too was written in Sanskrit by the sage Ved Vyasa. The Ramayan was written in ancient Sanskrit by sage Valmiki thousands of years ago, even before Bhagwan Ram was born in his avatar of Ram on this Earth. Though these are Hindu epics, they are so interesting, humane, and virtuous that anybody can follow them. Their performances are such that they are relevant even today and we still learn from their exemplary behaviours. The most read, followed and the most popular of these epics are the Ramayan and the Mahabharat.Īn epic is a drawn out and enduring composition which focuses on a hero or more than one hero, who performs great deeds and sets examples for others to follow. There are many other great Hindu epics, which guide us through an amalgamation of values and ideologies for a perfect life. But the stories from which I learnt the absolute righteous way of life was from our great epics, the Ramayan and the Mahabharat. I became aware of many moralistic and positive traits from these stories. They taught me many things, like never to speak to strangers, never to trust anybody blindly, always help the needy and the weak. When I was a young child, I used to read the Panchtantra and the English stories and fairy tales.
