The nature of Rama, Lakshmana, Bharat and Shatrughna is quite unique and wonderful.

They are wonderful; they are worshipped in all

the three worlds;

They are the sickles that cut the creepers of

worldly bondage, they are one’s true friends;

They are revered by the sages and seers;

Such is the beauty of Lord Vishnu’s deeds!’

(Telugu Poem)

It is only the ignoramuses that are blind to the inner

significance of the Lord’s deeds and misinterpret them.

This causes confusion and deviates the mind of a true

seeker from the sacred truth. The story of Lord Rama is

highly sacred. It is only when you hear the story fully

can you understand its holiness.
