From time immemorial Indian traditional legacy has evolved as the nucleus of elevated values and ideals visualizing humanity and peace in the global ecosystem. The quest for exploring the essence of human enrichment in intricately embedded within the scriptures of Indian epic Ramayana-the core origin of Indian tradition and religiousness. The paper unfolds the revitalizing insights of Ramayana bridgewaying tradition-spirituality with past and present. The life-learning doctrines of the epic acts as a torchbearer of knowing one’s own self and provides direction towards controlling human mind for individual escalation and growth. The geminal treasure of Ramayana is equipped with life-learning lessons connecting unique aspects of human attributes exploring the cycle of good and evil. Keeping in tune with the epic’s universal message of humanity the paper throws light on the meaningful lessons of austerity; family-rituals; religious-offering; devotion; sacredness all culminating glorious Indian tradition and spirituality. The paper makes a realistic attempt in mirroring timeless truths and morals of Ramayana wherein the epic has emerged as the perennial inspirational-fountain in the pathway towards holistic progression of Indian tradition and spirituality.
