Ramayana

The fascination of Ramayana is its moral content and its some ideal characters.
From reading Ramayana, I find many aspects of being moral. When Rama accepted he order of being exiled from his father, he did not complain which show us his extremely respect to his parent. Otherwise, because of helping Sugriva, Rama and Lakshmana received a great “gift” from Sugriva. Sugriva’s full of gratitude was repaied by Hanuman, who became a big helper on Rama and Lakshama’s journey to rescue Sita. Hanuman, who was loyal to Rama, led his monkey to cross the ocean and tried to help Rama to rescue Sita. As a subordinate, Hanuman’s loyalty was commendable. For Sita, even though Rama tried to dissuade her from following him to the forest, she stated that she would like to share her husband’s life; although she was abducted by Ravana, she was still untainted. Sita presents us a paragon of being a wife.
These unimpeachable moral characters, not only consisted in Ramayana, but also became the moral models for Hindu.

  1. I think Rama's respect for his parent only if they are right. He should have questioned his parent instead of going with dharma.
