Lord Rama -- (talk) 02:26, 4 October 2013 (UTC) Characteristics of Lord Rama.

Today's Rama
Lord Rama is considered the avatar of Lord Maha Vishnu. He is considered to have taken birth in order to establish dharma. He showed people that a person who protects dharma will in turn be protected by dharma. So what does this exactly mean? We can see that in Ramayana, Rama, in his pursuit to find Sita, overcomes several hurdles with the help of his trusted friends and well wishers. Some of them are his brother Lakshmana, Hanuman, Jatayu, Sugriva, the entire vanara sena, Vibhishana, birds, animals etc. Not only animals and human beings, but also the lord of the sea came ready to offer help. How did so many come to assist Lord Rama? Lord Rama had become an embodiment of truth, protector of dharma. People who saw him were instantly attracted by his qualities. They saw him as the lord of refuge. The good deeds that Lord Rama had done when he was young established his character among the masses and this had multiplied by word of mouth. People were willing to forsake anything and go where ever he went. In fact, the entire people of Ayodhya were ready to accompany Lord Rama to the forest. Such was his character.
