The Ramayana, Shri Ram Mandir Auckland

"मंगल भवन अमंगल हारी,
द्रवउ सो दसरथ अजिर बिहारी॥"

- Ramcharitmanas, Tulsidas

Every Tuesday evening, the Shri Ram Mandir resonates with the divine recitation of the Ramcharitmanas, the immortal epic composed by Goswami Tulsidas. Various Mandalis and groups from the community gather to collectively recite and sing the glorious story of Shri Ram.

The Ramayana is not merely a story, it is a guide to life, dharma, devotion, and the victory of good over evil. It is the light that has guided humanity for millennia.
