Some call the Ramayana the 'greatest story ever told'. Here are some modern day tips from the ancient book which work and sound cool.
Adopt
Adopt kids - Sita was adopted by Raja Janak. He and his family took her in as a blessing from God. They didn't over-analyse. They did a great job and they were very happy. Today, he is still famous and revered.
Crime doesn't pay
You could get lucky but things change. One day, when you have your hands full of it - even ten heads can't find a way out. Ask Ravan.
You can't do domestic politics and live in peace
This is lesson for all the mean women(and men) out there who suck the mental peace out of their spouses. Drama can bring you short term peace but stop being so cold. Learn to love unconditionally before pointing fingers. For more details, read Kaikeyi.
False looks lower your self esteem
Make up and Botox is temporary like Surpanakha's shapeshifting skill. Lusting resulted in her deface and defamation. She spent the rest of her life secluded in anger and regret. Didn't do a woman like her any good. Remember the old saying? Beauty lies within - see Sita, King Janak's adopted girl.
Get away from negative people
Vibhishan got a lot of flak when he thumbed down Ravan. Don't worry, that is the most common side-effect of following your heart. At the end, all was well and he was honoured.
Power comes from within
Here's the best part - virtue. If you are right, if your heart is pure , if you know it is the positive - don't worry about the struggle. The whole universe will help you in your mission. There is no goal too big and there is no no place too far.
This is how this epic inspires. This is how this gives its message. This is why this is the greatest story ever told.
