The main course is based on the live 3-week daily webinar held in Jan 2024.
It covers the entire Valmiki Ramayana and provides great contextual understanding, and the lesser known facts from VR, both for curiosity and as practical wisdom even for today.
 

Ram Ram, Jai Siya Ram, or Jai Shri Ram – whichever one you prefer!
 

How well do you know Valmiki Ramayana?

•    Why was Ayodhya called Ayodhya?
•    What were fair wages and tax rate in Rama’s time?
•    What does Rama say about destiny and karma?
•    There are plenty of Yes-men, but what should a leader watch out for?
•    What is more difficult than making friends?
•    What did Sita give to Hanuman as proof of their meeting?
•    What was the rationale behind Sita’s agni pariksha?

 

You may be worshipping Rama daily, or you may have stopped worshipping because you became progressive or woke!
Your bhakti may be deep, shallow or non-existent, but Ramayana can still benefit you.

 

Bhakti is great, especially in Kaliyuga, but our Rishis always emphasized the importance of gyan, or knowing; doing something knowingly - what today we may call mindfulness, living aware.

 

Without Gyan/Jnana, Bhakti becomes andh-bhakti, open to manipulation.
Without Bhakti bhava, Gyan gives rise to arrogance. 
 

This webinar will also help you guide our younger and modern generation, our future, who don't follow anything, without explanation of the rationale behind it.

 

Delve into the wisdom ocean of our heritage and understand why and how Rama and his story are still relevant today.
