How to Understand the Ramayana?

To understand these poems is necessary, first of all, to have at least a minimum of knowledge of Vedic philosophy, of the concept of God the person, of His energies, of His advents in this world in different incarnations, and that His characteristics, which are different from each other, are respected.

It is indeed very true that Valmiki’s Ramayana is more than an epic. Rama in India has always enjoyed unprecedented popularity, and millions of people have worshiped him as a god for millennia. There are thousands of temples in honor of Rama – in Ayodhya alone there are 7,600 – and not only to show respect to him for what he historically was, but above all, to worship him as God. In fact, Rama – according not only to the Ramayana itself, but also to many others Vedic works – is considered a divine incarnation. Hindus, therefore, adore him as such. Rama, throughout history, has been the personification of all that can be expected from a son, a brother, a husband, an ally, a leader, and a king. Rama was all this in the most ideal and most perfect way.
