3 Things to Learn from Lord Rama During COVID-19

Much of Lord Rama’s life is similar to today’s Corona period. He could sail through a lot of those difficulties because of the qualities he embodied. While we cannot visit the temple today, here are a few qualities of his that we must emulate:

1. Renunciation & Minimalism — Lord Rama was exiled for 14 years from his royal palace, wherein he had to give up all the material comforts and acclimatize to what nature offered. Learn to make do with what little you have and avoid going out as much as possible.

Takeaway: In this Corona crisis, renunciation is our strength.

2. Compassion & Restraint — Lord Rama did not act bitter against Kaikeyi, who connived his 14 years of exile. Sure, we can try and show some restraint towards adversaries today. But many people have suffered — lost their jobs/businesses, their family members to COVID-19. So, be a little more thoughtful toward the lesser privileged sections of the society and help them in any way you can.

Takeaway: Be compassionate and think before reacting.

3. Determination & Resolve — Lord Rama fought his archenemy, Ravan, with very little resources and never gave up against a gigantic strong army. This quality instilled confidence in others and made him worthy of veneration. Do not be bogged down by COVID-19 — be watchful and fight the fight.

Takeaway: Do not be bogged down by COVID-19 — be watchful and fight the fight.
