Panaji, March 27 (IANS): At a time when "virtues and values are at a discount", one should look up to Lord Ram, who is a true embodiment of righteousness and morality, Goa governor Mridula Sinha said on Friday while greeting the people of the state on the eve of Ram Navami.
"At a time like now, when virtues and values are at a discount it is most appropriate and relevant for us to recall the greatest ideals of righteousness and morality. Lord Ram is a true embodiment of these virtues and Ram Navami is celebrated in our great country with profound religious sentiments and reverence," Sinha said in a statement released to the media on Friday.
Ram Navami, to be celebrated on March 28 this year, is celebrated as the day of the birth of Lord Ram.
