“A wise man should foresee tragedy or misfortune and take action to prevent or overcome such tragedy or misfortune well before it strikes. Thus, only he can enjoy a safe and good life.” These words of wisdom, spoken by Lord Rama to Lakshman in the Ramayana, hold immense value, even in our modern times. In fact, throughout Lord Rama’s entire life, from his auspicious birth to his 14-year-long vanvas, conquest of Lanka, triumph over Ravana, and eventual reign as king, there are a plethora of stories that serve as guiding principles for all.
