Satya and Dharma (Truth and Righteousness) are the most important concepts in the Ramayana. Vedas, which are the very life-breath of Bharatiyas, proclaim: “Satyam Vada; Dharmam Chara(Speak the Truth; Act Righteously)”. To honour the plighted word of his father, Rama elected to go to the forest leaving Ayodhya. Truth is the foundation for all righteousness. There is no greater religion than truth. Rama stood out as an upholder of Truth to fulfil the promise of his father, to maintain the traditions of his Ikshvaku dynasty, to protect his country and for the sake of the welfare of the world. Everyone who calls themselves a human being should stand up for truth in the same manner. Mahatmas (noble ones) are those whose actions, thoughts and words are in perfect accord. Wicked people are those whose thoughts, words and deeds are at a variance with each other. Lord Rama indeed is a Mahatma (a noble one), worthy of adoration for time immemorial!
