What is the significance of the Ramayan story in our lives today? Is there a deeper meaning to the tales of Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman and Ravan? It's the story of state of mind where there is no conflict.
How do we use this story to get deeper spiritual understanding to the Diwali festival of lights and the Sikh festival of Bandhi Chorr Divas of Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji.
Valmiki Ramayana is mentioned in all the Sikh scriptures including
Guru Granth Sahib Ji,
Dasam Granth of Guru Gobind Singh Ji (Chaubis Avtar) and
Bhai Gurdas Vaaran
