Rama Rama

Rama is the seventh avatar of the god Vishnu.The story of his life is reflected in one of the most famous Indian epics – "Ramayana", written, as it is believed, by the sage Valmiki. The legendary ruler of Ayodhya, along with his wife Sita (the incarnation of the goddess Lakshmi), personify the ideal of virtue, marital fidelity and impeccable fulfillment of the dharma. Their example inspires many believers to improve, and the principles of behavior proclaimed by them in society still do not lose their relevance and significance. It is believed that even the mere repetition of Rama's name is auspicious.
