"Mahatma Gandhi emphasised how Lord Rama taught us to uphold truth, justice, equality even under adverse circumstances, there is a great deal to learn from Ramayana to enrich our lives particularly during these challenging times of coronavirus," Mamidala said. "JNU organizes leadership lessons from Ramayana. All from JNU are welcome," he added.

 

Talking about Lord Rama, the JNU VC said that in 1946 Mahatma Gandhi had said that he is one without second and there is none greater than Lord Rama. "About Rama, in 1946, Mahatma Gandhi said: He is one without a second. He alone is great. There is none greater than He. He is timeless, formless, stainless. Such is my Rama. He alone is my Lord and Master.” JNU organizes leadership lessons from Ramayana. All from JNU are welcome," tweeted VC Kumar.
