Rama and his brothers are said to belong to the Surya Vamsa (solar race). The sun exists as an objective physical phenomenon. The moon and the earth are there. The earth has come from the sun. The moon has come from earth. Both the earth and the moon have come from sun. They are fragments of the sun. When you enquire deeply, you will realise that without the sun the world cannot exist; there can be no birth or death. Nothing can exist without the sun. This was the reason why ancients worshipped the sun as Divine. Elements of the sun are present in every human being. Everyone has originated from the rays of the sun. The light within us derived from the sun.

 As his light is present within us we are a fragment of the sun. Each human being, because he is a product of the sun, can claim to belong to the solar race. When Rama is said to belong solar race, it should be realised that the Principle of Atma Rama (the Indwelling Rama) present in every human being entitles him to claim lineage from the sun. Therefore, all of you are embodiments of Rama. Each one of you carries the imprint of the sun within you. Realising this truth and bearing in mind each of you belongs to the solar race like Rama, you should try to destroy your bad qualities and develop your virtues even as Rama destroyed the wicked and protected the good.
