Lord Rama belongs to Kamban and also to Eshutachchan. Lord Rama belongs to Kabir, Tulsidas and Raidas. Lord Rama is giver to all. ‘Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram’ of Gandhi is going to enlighten all of us. Waris Ali Shah says: ‘Whosoever is God is Ram.’

In Nirala’s timeless words, Lord Rama is the fundamental imagination of power. Lord Rama stands for courage, confluence, restraint and cooperation. Lord Rama is everyone’s helper. He belongs to everyone. Lord Rama wants the welfare of all. That is why he is ‘Maryada Purushottam.’
