Quotes from Ramayana

Ramayana is one of the most admired epics (legends) in Hindu literature, narrating the life and adventures of Bhagwan Ram, the 7th avatar of Bhagwan Vishnu. Ramayana was written in Sanskrit by Valmiki Ji. Ramayana is a story that revolves around Bhagwan Ram, the prince of Ayodhya, who is considered as a pillar of righteousness, duty, and honour.


Shriram's life is a profound example of the ideal son, husband, and king, whose devotion to dharma (moral duty) remains constant and determined throughout his life.


myNachiketa presents 10 impactful quotes from Ramayana for Children. These quotes contain teachings from the epic Ramayana about duty, responsibility, devotion, truthfulness and loyalty.

Truth is the highest dharma

Dharma refers to moral and ethical duties. When we say "truth is the highest dharma", it means that truth holds the topmost place among all the duties and goodness. This quote from Ramayana says that truthfulness is the most fundamental and essential principle of righteous living (dharma).

Ramayana Quote 2

2. Ramayana Quote

To be happy always is something which is difficult to achieve 


Message

The idea of constant and permanent happiness is tough and challenging because our emotions keep changing. It is natural to experience a range of feelings, like sadness, fear, frustration, and anger, alongside happiness. Therefore, this quote from Ramayana says that being in a state of continuous happiness is difficult.


Children, though it is difficult to be joyful and cheerful all the time, you can try to reduce your other emotions like fear, sadness and anger and try to live with positivity in life. Whenever you come across tough times, you feel sad and worried, try to think upon Bhagwan Ram and gain strength to face the challanges.

3. Ramayana Quote

Once Shri Rama gives his word, that is final and it is kept at any cost


Message

This quote from Ramayana means that when Shri Ram makes a promise or gives his word, he is absolutely determined to fulfil it, no matter the difficulties or sacrifices involved. Fulfilling a promise and staying true to your word often requires courage and great moral strength.


So children, once you make a promise to your friends or family, it's your responsibility to fulfil it, regardless of the challenges you might face. Do not go back on your words because staying true to your commitments builds trust and respect.

 
Ramayana Quote 4

4. Ramayana Quote

Only the timid and the weak leave things to destiny but the strong and the self-confident never bank on destiny or luck


Message

Those who are fearful and lack courage might leave things to fate, hoping that some external force will guide them and help them to achieve their goals. On the other hand, strong and confident believe in hard work. This quote from Ramayana says that people who believe in their abilities shape their future rather than leaving it to chance or fate.


For example, during the school football team selections, don't rely on fate—work hard to perform well.

During exams, when we aren’t well prepared, we often rely on luck to get good grades. However, we should work hard and trust in our knowledge instead.

Grief destroys one’s courage.  It destroys one’s learning.  It destroys one’s everything.  There is no enemy greater than grief

Ramayana Quote 6

6. Ramayana Quote

Only a person’s conduct and character show whether he is born in a good family or whether he is boasting about himself or whether he is flawless or faulty


Message

This quote from Ramayana says that a person's true nature and background are revealed through their behaviour and character, rather than by their words or claims. If someone truly has a good upbringing, it will naturally reflect in their character and actions, whereas mere boasting about it will be exposed.


So Children, always do good deeds and actions. Your good behaviour will naturally talk highly about you and your family values, you don’t have to show it off.
