Celebrating Independence day of our beloved country.
On this special day, remembering one which is synonymous not only with Indian religion but also its culture.
When one thinks of India, one automatically thinks of its great Shastras and Epics - Ramayana, Mahabarata, RamCharit Manas -Valkmiki, VedVayas, Tulsidas. These names are interwoven with Indian life, religion and culture as light is with Sun, fragrance is with flower and fiber is with cloth.

National Conference on Ramayana
The three day conference held at Mahuva was an amazing experience. Scholars and intellectuals from all over the country gathered together to put forward their views and
understanding on Ramayana written by Rishi Valmiki in
Sanskrit.

Despite the fact that after him, over 300 Ramayana have
been authored by others, the importance and significance of Valmiki's Ramayana has neither diminished nor forgothen. If anything it has only increased. He is anonymously
held as the first poet – Adi Kavi.
Of significance was the fact that all view points were heard and given chance. Even the views which
were apprehensive and doubtful about Shri Ram were heard.
It reminded me of our Vedic times, when, during the spiritual discussions, everyone was welcomed. Even atheist were heard. This is
the greatness of Sanatan Dharma- it welcomes all. It does not force one
viewpoint , nor annihilates others with different thoughts and views.
Overall, it was an amazing experience just sitting and
listening to all the learned men and women of our country, speaking of my favorite
hero- RAM.
