The Ramayana illustrates the concept of dharma, or righteous duty, through the actions and choices of its characters. Lord Rama embodies the ideal of dharma as he prioritizes his obligations to family, kingdom, and moral integrity, even in the face of personal sacrifice. The epic emphasizes that adhering to one's dharma is essential for maintaining social order and justice. Ultimately, the Ramayana serves as a guide for individuals to navigate their responsibilities while upholding ethical principles.
Finding a specific teaching from Ramayana on victory over vice is somewhat illusive.. Here are some footnotes which lead to the virtues of Dharma which could then allow one to transcend vice. The following is from the Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya Kanda, 9-30,31. "Wealth comes out of Dharma. Happiness comes out of Dharma. Everything is obtainable from Dharma. Dharma is the essence of this universe. The adept attain Dharma by disciplining themselves by the conditions of Dharma, with great effort; one cannot get happiness from happiness.". Dharma is eightfold as: "Sacrifice, Vedic study, Charity, Penance, Truth, Fortitude, Forgiveness, Non-desire." The following ten are characteristics of Dharma (Dharma Lakshanam). Fortitude, forgiveness, restraint, non-stealing, purity, control over sense organs, intelligence, knowledge, truth, absence of anger.
In the Ramayana, Rama is depicted as a mortal being. He is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, but he is not immortal. After completing his mission of defeating the demon Ravana and restoring dharma, Rama returns to his heavenly abode.
Rama killing Ravana is the denouement of Ramayana. Ramayana has an intricate plot in which Ravana had all the super powers whereas Rama was an ordinary human, who with the help of just monkeys, killed Ravana.
