The Ramayana, the scripture relating to the Rama Avatar (incarnation of God), was the these of this conference. Some of Swami’s discourses in 1977 included: the law of karma as invincible, Lakshamana, the devoted brother of Rama, the all-pervading Atma (one’s innermost reality), all the Ramayana characters are ideal characters, sorrow is not natural to man, “Be good, do good, see good, this is the way to God,” Ravana’s proficiently in the Vedas was of no avail, true yoga (mind control) book learning is useless, clean food and when wisdom dawns.
