Rama's exile to the forest,

And finally the destruction of Ravana and KumbhakarnaтАФ
This is the essence of the Ramayana.

Clad in white garments, seated on a white lotus,
Holding the Veena, worshipped by the gods,
Remove all ignorance and bless me with wisdom.

The Complete alone remains.
May there be peace in the heavens,
Peace in the atmosphere,
Peace on Earth,
Peace in the waters, herbs, and plants,
Peace among all beings.
Om Peace, Peace, Peace.
