Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Rama (IAST rama, Devanagari ???, Khmer ????????, Thai ??????, Lao ??????, Burmese Yama, Tagalog Rajah Bantugan) or Ramachandra ???????? [1] is the seventh avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism,[2] and a legendary king of Ayodhya in ancient India. A significant section of Hindus do not doubt his historicity, and consider him an actual king who ruled over a large part of what is now India from his capital Ayodhya.[citation needed]

Rama is one of the many popular figures and deities in Hinduism, specifically Vaishnavism and Vaishnava religious scriptures in South and Southeast Asia.[3] Most of the details of Rama's life come from the Ramayana, one of the two great epics of India.[4] Born as the eldest son of Kausalya and Dasharatha, king of Ayodhya, Rama is referred to within Hinduism as Maryada Purushottama,[5] literally the Perfect Man or Lord of Self-Control or Lord of Virtue. Rama is the husband of Sita, whom Hindus consider to be an avatar of Lakshmi and the embodiment of perfect womanhood.[5][6]

Rama's life and journey is one of perfect adherence to dharma despite harsh tests of life and time. He is pictured as the ideal man and the perfect human. For the sake of his father's honour, Rama abandons his claim to Kosala's throne to serve an exile of fourteen years in the forest.[7] His wife Sita and brother Lakshmana, being unable to live without Rama, decide to join him, and all three spend the fourteen years in exile together. This leads to the kidnapping of Sita by Ravana, the Rakshasa (Asura) monarch of Lanka. After a long and arduous search that tests his personal strength and virtue, Rama fights a colossal war against Ravana's armies. In a war of powerful and magical beings, greatly destructive weaponry and battles, Rama slays Ravana in battle and liberates his wife. Having completed his exile, Rama returns to be crowned king in Ayodhya (the capital of his kingdom) and eventually becomes emperor,[7] after which he reigns for eleven thousand years – an era of perfect happiness, peace, prosperity and justice known as Rama Rajya.

Rama's courage in searching for Sita and fighting a terrible war to rescue his wife and their honour is complemented by Sita's absolute devotion to her husband's love, and perfect chastity despite being Ravana's captive. Rama's younger brothers, namely Lakshmana, Shatrughna and Bharata strongly complement his piety, virtue and strength,[7] and they are believed by many to belong to the Maryada Purushottama and the Seventh Avatara, mainly embodied by Rama. Rama's piety and virtue attract powerful and devoted allies such as Hanuman and the Vanaras of Kishkindha, with whose help he rescues Sita.[7] The legend of Rama is deeply influential and popular in the societies of the Indian subcontinent and across South East Asia. Rama is revered for his unending compassion,[8] courage and devotion to religious values and duty.

3. Rural Broadband Internet's Effect On Small Town Economies
November 19, 2009

The Government's commitment to providing high-speed Internet connections to rural America through the Federal Broadband Stimulus program, may have a positive economic effect for customers accessing newly born services. However, the effect on rural businesses may not be so positive. It is not an unfamiliar fact that customers of rural businesses usually pay more for the same products and services that mainstream Americans do. The reasons are numerous, and in many cases justified. Smaller customer bases and higher costs to receive goods or deliver services are a big contributor to higher co... (read more)

7. Five Musicians Who Should Have Been Famous
November 12, 2009

Pete Best, Former Drummer, The Beatles How can you be kicked out of the greatest rock band ever? Pete Best goes down in history as the most famous person, famous for not being famous. Best left the band just two years before their historic Ed Sullivan show. The reasons behind Pete Best's notorious 1962 dismissal as The Beatles' drummer have been a point of debate among Beatlemaniacs for decades. Some claim he lacked the solid beats needed to support a rock band, while others claim John and Paul vainly wanted a less attractive drummer. Considering his replacement was the dubious-looking Ringo ... (read more)

8. Five Female Pioneers In Film
November 12, 2009

Amelia will be premiering in movie theaters tonight. Hilary Swank will star as Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly an airplane over the Atlantic Ocean. This historical moment reminded me of a few women who made their mark in film history. I came up with five female pioneers in film but the list goes on for miles! Alice Guy-Blache Alice Guy-Blache was the first female film director. She did her first film titled La Fee aux Choux (The Cabbage Fairy) around 1898 while in charge of production at Gaumont Film Company in France.

9. Car Companies That Went Belly Up
November 12, 2009

With the economy the way it is, it was no surprise that Chrysler announced that they would be going into bankruptcy, also the discontinuation of the Pontiac line, and the imminent demise of GM’s Saturn. So I was thinking let’s take a look back at some other American car brands that have gone belly up. Studebaker Studebaker started out in 1852, as a family owned blacksmith business. It would later become the world’s largest wagon builder by the end of the 19th century. They successfully turned their wagon enterprise into a horseless carriage enterprise, Studebaker turned out unique and cr... (read more)

November 11, 2009

There are so many actors who lead troubled lives that I just had to do some digging around for some samples. Here’s what I found: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen What happened to baby Michelle? These girls probably weighed more when they were on Full House than they do now. Mary-Kate seems to be the more troubled of the two, at least according to public knowledge. She has suffered from anorexia and drug abuse and it has been said that she could have been responsible for supplying Heath Ledger with the drugs that killed him.

November 03, 2009

When I got out of college 12 years ago there was only one traditional way of applying for employment. After combing the classified section of the local paper I would form a list of jobs I was interested in applying for. I recall going to the store to purchase good quality paper with matching envelops and mailing each company I was interested in working for a copy of my resume and cover letter. After a trip to the Post Office, my job was done and the waiting game began. In some rare cases a follow up call to a HR representative at the company was in order to make sure that they have received ... (read more)

15. Satellite Internet - an Investment in Education
November 03, 2009

You wouldn't paint a house with a toothbrush, or cut a tree down with a steak knife, so why would you ever attempt to educate yourself online with a dialup Internet service. In all three instances, way too slow and, more importantly, not the right tool for the job. Anyone who has, or is attempting to earn a degree or certification will tell you, education is an investment toward a brighter future. The costs of housing, books, tuition, student loans and supplies have driven more and more students to the Internet. School is hard enough without the constant fight to get connected, stay connecte... (read more)

November 01, 2009

Things are finally getting back to normal in Major League Baseball, although the pennant races are tight; the Yankees are in their rightful place right now, having clinched a post-season birth. There was no big celebration, which I believe is a good sign. It shows that there is a concentration on the next hurdle, which is winning the American League pennant and ultimately the World Series. This hurdle is going to be a difficult one to leap as the archrival Red Sox are playing their best baseball of the season down the stretch. With Assuming the Yankees win the division, the next bi...

October 26, 2009

What do Tony Hawk, Bam Margera, Rob Dyrdek, and Ryan Sheckler have in common? They are all skateboarders with their own shows on MTV. Now I will give credit where credit is due. Thanks to them, skateboarding has sky rocketed in popularity. The Olympics of extreme sports, the X-Games air every year on ESPN just like the World Series or Super Bowl would. Contrary to what the “MTV Generation” believes, skateboarding wasn’t invented every Thursday night at 9 on Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory.

22. NFL Red Zone and NFL Sunday Ticket - A Comparison
October 19, 2009

I am proud to call myself a sports fan. I like to watch my favorite teams play each week in their respective sports, and especially come playoff time. But I do however have one concern. It seems over the past few years more and more sports packages have become available like NFL Sunday Ticket, MLB Extra Innings, Etc. Don’t get me wrong the idea of having the ability to choose to watch all 16 NFL football games being played each week is great. But, is it worth the $300.00 you pay? Lets face it, these Sports packages are perfect for a Sports Bar who has more then 4 televisions where they c... (read more)
