Sri Rama with
Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman
With best wishes of Sri Rama Navami.
शोको नाशयते
धैर्यं शोको नाशयते श्रुतं।
शोको नाशयते सर्वं नास्ति शोकोसमो रिपुः॥
Shoko naashayate dhairyam shoko naashayate shrutam
Shoko naashayete sarvam nasti shokasamo ripuh - The Ramayana
(2.62.15)
Grief destroys one’s courage. It destroys one’s learning. It destroys one’s everything. There is no enemy greater than grief.
[Context: These are the words of Kausalya. She had spoken harsh words to Dasratha for
sending Rama to the forests. She repents
and says that she spoke thus because of
her intense grief on Rama being sent to the forests]
