Rama is the seventh incarnation of Vishnu, who is the protector of Dharma on earth. His birth and life teach us how to lead our life without breaking Dharma. This greatest noble soul was ideal to everyone from his parents to siblings, wife, and sons. Rama is always an inspiration to all whose principles insist on honesty and truthfulness. He never lost his patience anywhere and always knew how to love and value others, even in tough times. The divine being was never harsh to anybody, even his stepmother Kaikeyi who was the reason for his exile. Due to these reasons, only people called him "Maryada Purshottam."
