Krishna-aspect (the non-dual anchor)
Rāma IS Krishna in maryādā-form. Krishna IS Rāma in svatantra-form. The Pūrṇa-Brahman expresses through both: Rāma the principle-bound king, Krishna the principle-transcending lover-of-souls. Per Hari-Hara Aikya: "Rāmo Vigrahavān Dharmaḥ" (Rāma is dharma incarnate) and "Krishnam Vande Jagad-Gurum" (Krishna I salute as world-teacher) — both are ONE.
Lila-essence — the dharma-restoration arc
When Rāvaṇa — the ten-headed asura-king of Laṅkā with vast tapas — abducted Sītā, Rāma waged a dharma-yuddha to rescue her. Allied with the vānara-army (Hanumān, Sugrīva, Aṅgada), He crossed the ocean via Setu-bandha, fought Rāvaṇa in single combat, restored Sītā, and ruled Ayodhyā for 11,000 years (Rāmarājya — the dharma-state archetype). Throughout, He embodied Maryādā-puruṣottama — the man who never breaks dharma's boundary — even when dharma demanded personal grief (the agni-parīkṣā · Sītā-vanavāsa).

Modern relevance · Kali-Yuga dharma-message
Rāma-tattva is the patron of all maryādā — civic-dharma, professional-ethics, family-fidelity, public-service. Rāmacaritamānasa's recitation, Rāma-nāma japa (per Hanumān), and Rāma-Navamī observance carry His grace.
