Essay On MY FAVOURITE BOOK

THE BOOK I LIKE MOST

THE BOOK THAT IMPRESSED ME MOST

Introduction

A book has a great power to make us good or bad. A good book may prove very useful for us, while a bad book may do great harm to us.

Why has the Ramayan impressed me?

Of all the books that I have read, the Ramayan influenced me most. This is my favourite book. I love it most. The book has many charms of its own. It is more interesting than a novel. It is more philosophic than my book on philosophy. It is a complete moral code. Hence, it has influenced me most. It contains the life story of Ram who is thought to be an incarnation God. Hence it is a religious book which helps us to make us good and pious.

Qualities of the Ramayan

The book is full of ideals. It presents every situation of life. From the examples given in this book, we learn how we should behave with our parents, broth ers, sisters, friends, enemies, teachers, learned persons, strangers, husbands, wives, sons and even the low caste people. It teaches us to be brave and cheerful in all circumstances. Thus, we may call it the best book for character-building in the world.

Story of the book in brief

Ram was the son of King Dashrath of Ayodhya. He was a wonderful man. To obey the orders of his father, he went into exile for 14 years. His wife Sita, and brother Lakshman went with him. Ravan the King of Lanka stole away Sita. Lord Ram invaded Lanka and defeated Ravan. He got his wife back.

Lessons

Ram protected Rishis and killed demons. Sita as an ideal wife, was the follower of Ram in all his joys and sorrows. Ram’s father Dashrath, died of grief without Ram but kept his word. Ram obeyed his ather’s wish and his brother, Lakshman went with him to serve him with heart and soul. Bharat too did not accept crown but ruled over Ayodhya as Ram’s steward.

Ram loved the people and the people respected him. He treated the low caste boatman as his own brother. In the forest of Chitrakoot, he treated the Bhilsas his own men. He became a true protector of all sages in trouble. His friendship with Sugriva is an example for us. Hanuman proved his true follower. Sita lived the life of purity and devotion in Lanka.

Conclusion

Thus we see that victory comes to the good people. The wicked people suffer in the end. Ramayan gives us consolation when we are in trouble.
