Ramayana is a vary ancient text composed in Sanskrit by Valmiki.

Massive divorce rates are seen in Italy, England, France, United States of America, and Sweden. But least divorce rate in India, less than 2%, despite having millions of illiterate population in villages. Why is it that in India the divorce rate is so low?

On many occasions, in the Hindu temples, weddings are being conducted religiously between a god and goddess: Seetha Rama Kalyan, Venkateswara Kalyan, Siva Shakti Kalyan. These rituals might look strange for ignorant, but the rituals serve the purpose of reminding the importance and value of marriage between wife and husband. People identify themselves with the values that they should represent. The matrimonial love is divine, and the partnership has lot of difficulties too.

The story of Ramayana is about the Kalyana of Seetha and Rama. Kalyana means auspiciousness, togetherness, sacredness, holiness, commitment, growing together with understanding and love, growing up in difficulties, sharing the difficulties, and ultimately leading to their own salvation.

This is the story of Ramayana. The Ramayana is the story of love of a couple. This book is being worshiped in India. It has become the code of conduct with values.
