Concept of True Ram Raj

Good governance, for the greatest good, for the largest number of people, is the most essential requirement of the good government may it be democracy, kingdom, or dectatorship or any other form of government.We can not say whether Alexander pope, a great english poet had certainly understood the concept of Ram Raj when he wrote “For forms of government let fools contest what ever is best administered is best.” Freedom is an essential ingridient of true Ram Raj but unbridled freedom is fraught with unlimited dangers. It brings along with ceratin checks and responsilbilities which are as essential as liberty.

A ruler of a state wishes that hos state subjects should always feel happy and contented. To achieve this end, the people inhabiting the state shall have to follow certain norms, for instance, they should follow the maxim of “Simple living and high thinking” as is propounded by all great men from time to time and country to country.

Mahatma Mangat Ram Ji Maharaj,a great indian philosopher and spriritualist of modren times had laid stress on leading a simple life. While preaching simplicity he suggested that man should acquire simple habits in matter of eating,clothing, utterance,thinking and company (that is eating only to live,clothing only to cover and protect the body from cold and heat, speak only to express his views impartially without any fear or fervour). Consequently necessities of human life will be minimised and man will astain from enjoying a luxurious life without indulging in illicit means. Thus the life on earth shall become worth living peacefully. While expressing his views with regard to the stae services, he advised that govt. Servants should be honest, sincere and cordial in the relations with the general public.

Education, he opined , should be imparted with atmost simplicity and celebacy in seperate schools and colleges for boys and girls so that there is least opportunities for charater degradation while aquiring knowledge. As a consequence they will become perfect citizen usful for there country and fellow beings. Futher he belived in provinding knowledge to everyone according to his/her ability and competence.However women should be well worsed in areas of morality,householding,nurturing,nursing the sick and at the same time enjoying freedom with limitations.All this can be achieved practicaly if major portion of the state revenue is channelised towards development of education and literacy.

Business comunity should carry on their activities scrupulously within fixed timings,keeping in mind price control,purity and quality of all kinds of articles without any adultration.

Finally he laid stress on adopting the basic principles of virtuos life such as truthfullness,selfless service to the poor and the needy,equanimity,fraternity and patriotism and these should be given utmost pripority and publicity amongst the general masses.

He was very perticular about putting a check on inflation and consequent price rise of essential commodities.Issue of currency by the exchequer should be such that their is a fair circulation of money among the masses to an extent that rich may not become extremely rich at the cost of those who are already below the poverty line.

These are the concepts of the True Ram Raj which if put in practise will certianly make the human life peaceful and cheerful.

Today India needs Ram Raj badly and urgently.Moral degradation,criminalisation of polotics,curroption in high places and blatant misuse of power have made it imparitive for the masses to rise up against the decaying political system to demand Lord Rama to defeat the evil forces of Ravana and enforce Ram Raj in letter and spirit.Let us invoke the spirit of Shri Mangat Ram Ji maharaj to bless us with Ram Raj.We sincerely hope that God has mercy on us and would make our rules wise,far sighted,spiritualist and inculcate in them nobility and benign quality of meditation.
