Ram Katha
Discourse narrating the life and ideals of Lord Rama as a model of dharma and righteous living
Significance & Origin
Ram Katha is a discourse narrating the life of Lord Rama as the ideal of dharma, duty and righteous conduct, delivered across multiple sessions with storytelling, explanation and devotional singing.
Origin Story
Sage Valmiki, considered the first poet, composed the original Ramayana specifically to be recited and heard, teaching it first to his own disciples Bharata and Kusha as an oral narrative meant for public recitation rather than private study alone. This establishes Ram Katha as one of the oldest traditions of spoken discourse in Sanatan Dharma, continuing unbroken through generations of storytellers to today's Pravachan format.
