Question from Rounak Agrawal: Both Yogananada ji & Sri Yukteswar Giri ji spoke much about Krishna, but little about Lord Rama. Perhaps Lord Rama is more widely worshipped in India than Krishna. So I wanted to know their views on Lord Rama. When did the Ramayana happen? Is Lord Rama mythical or real? Valmiki’s Ramayana mentions that Lord Rama ruled the earth for 11000…
