Abstract

India is renowned for its long-standing customs. Here, numerous religions have thrived since the beginning of time. Theology and philosophical thought are the roots of ethics. From the origins of the Vedas, Upanishads, and epics, ethics is at the basis of all these different religious systems. The moral code of the people, which emerged from these origins, is a sign of their social and spiritual ways of life. They preach that experiencing the joys and pains of this world is the genuine core of human life. Similar to how every human encounter obstacle while carrying out their duties, Arjun likewise encountered this universal problem. When the Gita taught about the knowledge and practical significance of human life and instructed to follow the real action on the battlefield in order to defeat the evil society, Arjun would be able to solve his cognitive flaws after hearing the Gita preached by Lord Krishna. These underpin standard psychotherapy as well. The epic Ramayana distinguishes between social worth and human value. Ramayana is the name of Rama’s adventure. Though the triumph of virtue over evil is the main topic of the Ramayana, the epic is coloured by Rama’s righteousness and patience (or tolerance) under trying and fortunate situations. The author hopes to convey these essential principles in this work since they are being lost in today’s society, where morality is fading. This essay demonstrates how these prehistoric religious writings had a big impact on COVID-19.
