Shree Ram: The Code of Dharma 🕊

🕊 Shree Ram, The Code Of Dharma 🕊

Who is Shree Ram?

A king? A warrior?

A prince who walked into exile with a smile,

or a man who chose silence when his heart broke in two?

Have you ever tried to understand?

Who was Shree Ram?

How did he become Maryada Purushottam?

What does it mean to follow Shree Ram?

Or anyone at all?

Is it shouting their name louder than the next man?

Or is it quietly living their values when no one is watching?

What if Shree Ram was never just a God?

Or a king?

But a mirror?

A compass that still points toward dignity in chaos,

truth in conflict, and restraint in temptation?

Not just a prince of Ayodhya,

not just a character from the Ramayan,

but a way of living that refuses to die, even now.

Sounds poetic?

It’s more than that.

In a world that burns too quickly,

what does it mean to lead with silence?

To win without hate?

To suffer without complaint?

Shree Ram never ruled just with a sword

he ruled with stillness.

He walked into exile without a grudge.

Fought wars without pride.

And returned to his people

even after they doubted him.

That was Ram Rajya !!

A society where truth wasn’t forced

it flowed.

Where the last man was seen.

Where justice was not a favor,

but a way of breathing.

They say in Ram Rajya,

no one cried from hunger.

No one felt unsafe walking through their village.

Justice wasn’t delayed.

Dharma wasn’t selective.

And dignity wasn’t a privilege

it was a given.

Ram Rajya wasn’t built on fear.

It wasn’t a system of dominance.

It was a place where righteousness wasn’t loud, but lived.

Ram Rajya begins when we stop asking,

Who belongs here?

and start asking,

How do we make sure everyone feels they do?

No injustice went unheard.

No one was judged

by their name, their caste, their prayer!!!

It was not perfect because people were perfect,

It was ideal because principles were non-negotiable.

Now pause.

Ask yourself,

Is that what we chant for today?

I remember college.

A Muslim friend , brilliant and grounded.

He lit diyas with me during Diwali.

Played Holi like the colors belonged to him too.

A lot of people would consider him a good guy

and you know why.

But I admired him for a very different reason.

He was sincere. Studious. Humble.

He asked the kind of questions

that echo longer than answers.

One evening, over chai and a quiet sky,

he asked us something I haven’t forgotten.

Bro!!

When I was younger,

Jai Shri Ram felt like a rhythm.

Felt like peace

something that felt like repeating.

More like a melody of soothingness.

But Now,

it feels like it’s aimed at us.

Why does it feel like a threat?”

And I had no answer.

I did try to give some illogical explanation,

but failed.

Because deep down, I experienced

that shift

from chant to challenge.

From invocation to intimidation.

That was never the Shree Ram we were told to follow.

Well, can’t blame anyone.

Everyone is free to follow their way of worship.

They have their reason

maybe, or maybe not !

But

Have you ever wondered,

If Shree Ram returned today,

Would he endorse this noise in his name?

Would he bless pride masked as devotion?

Do you think Shree Ram would’ve led with fear?

Would he have allowed his name to become a sword,

when he himself always walked with a bow lowered in modesty?

Would he judge a man based on his prayer,

when he accepted Shabari’s half eaten berries with reverence?

Or

Would he quietly walk into the home of the forgotten,

the village of the voiceless,

and rebuild from compassion

not command?

Would he hold placards,

or sit beside someone misunderstood?

Shree Ram didn’t walk for dominance.

He walked to remind us that true strength is gentle.

To Follow Shree Ram Is Not to Shout His Name,

But to Walk His Path

It doesn’t mean weaponizing his legacy.

It means choosing truth when lies are easier.

It means offering shelter,

even to those who once opposed you.

It means ruling with restraint,

and loving with discipline.

Shree Ram Navami isn’t just about his birth.

It’s about remembering

the kind of man we were asked to become.

It’s about asking

Has he been born in us yet?

Do we reflect even a fragment of him

in how we speak?

How we forgive?

How we choose?

Ram is not locked in pages.

He’s in every decision

that chooses dignity over dominance.

He is dharma,not dogma.

And Ram Rajya?

It will not be built through slogans.

It will rise when every house becomes a place of truth.

When we stop dividing the land he walked with love.

Shree Ram is not a noise.

He is a silence that stands tall.

He is not a weapon.

He is the hand that holds the wounded.

He is not a chant.

He is the character behind it.

So raise his name

Along with his values.

Because the loudest Jai Shri Ram

is one lived, not screamed.

राम केवल राजा नहीं थे,

वो एक राज्य थे

जिसे पहले खुद में बनाना होगा।

We don’t need to find Shree Ram in politics.

We need to find him in how we speak.

How we forgive.

How we stand up for someone

even when it costs us comfort.

Because Ram Rajya isn’t a place.

It’s a possibility.

But only if Ram lives here within us.

And right now

He’s waiting !

We placed him in his birthplace.

Now it’s time to place him in our hearts.

Happy Ram Navami.

May Ram find home in our conduct, not just in our claims.

🕊 Jai Shri Ram 🔱
