The rightful restoration of the demolished temple calls for a National celebration putting aside political differences because Sri Rama and Rama Rajya have always remained the ideals for leadership and administration in India. Rama is the embodiment of Dharma and Rama Rajya is the application of Dharma in statehood.
In the Yudha Kanda, Valmiki enlists the several aspects and traits of Rama Rajya. These ideals set a really high standard of aspiration for good governance.
While Rama was ruling the kingdom, there were no widows to lament, nor there was no danger from wild animals,
“There were no widows to lament” could essentially mean that there must have been a system of remarriage for widows and of course since no one can be forced into a marriage, there should have been systems in place to take care of their wellbeing and happiness.

Punyabhoomi Bharatam
When I was Principal in Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya at Kanyakumari, I had made it a point to go to all the classes in a week. I used to take ‘moral science’ classes. Whatever is to be told to children to mould them and develop proper attitude and good habits in them I used to tell through stories. After experimenting with various suggested courses, I came to the conclusion that a story can be the most effective tool. So, I made my plan that in each class a specific great principle of our culture should be communicated through suitable stories.

Swami Vivekananda And The Pandemic Panic
Epidemics and pandemics have devastated the human race throughout its existence. From prehistoric times to the present modern-days we have noticed numerous pandemics and medical emergencies. While some even turned as devastating as the fourteenth century ‘’Bubonic plague ’’ which was also known as the Black Death causing millions of human lives and is regarded as one of the most fatal pandemics in human history. Some similar conditions have evolved in the last one year and especially in last month and a two due to the Wuhan originated pandemic COVID-19 as the death toll surpasses three million mark worldwide and the arrival of a new variant or what is regarded as double mutant strain of the coronavirus has just kept the public and the governments on toes throughout the globe. However, while talking about India in particular the vaccination drive has reached close to a century but with alarming hard days, we need something which can strengthen us psychologically and emotionally too. Our search can get a halt when we come across a one hundred twenty one years old ‘Plague Manifesto’ written by the warrior sanyasi Swami Vivekananda during the Bengal Plague in 1898.
