Ramayana
This book is a retelling of Valmiki's ancient poem, the Ramayana. The original poem is tremendously long - usually running for at least three large volumes in translation. For many readers without a scholarly or religious interest in ancient India, this is just too long. For many more (particularly non-Indian) readers, the original may also pose certain cultural challenges.Rajagopalachari here provides a bridge across these gulfs. His retelling is targeted both at adults and at children. He
I read this book due to my curiosity as the characters in the book are heard by every Indian on a daily basis. Im no Spiritual guy & i read the book out of curiosity about my favorite Character Hanuman.firstly one thing the reader finds in the book is the attention to detail given by Valmiki in this epic. And this book is not the original version but a concise version of original Valmiki Ramayana By Rajaji. Why i Liked this book - - It gives the list of virtues that a Human being must
Hi!I loved the book. The story started up slowly but then after story on Rama's expelled from his father's kingdom things start to warm up. Towards the end on Rama vs Ravana confrontation storyline is very exciting.During my jr. high school my Universal History teacher thought us about traditional triad on ancient India: Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva so therefore Ramayana became a book to reading after discovering Rama was an actual Vishnu avatar.Everything that I heard before about Ramayana is
The definitive edition of the Ramáyana, unabridged, with the romanized Sanskrit on the facing page and a very useful glossary. This first volume is frequently regarded as having been added on, and indeed lacks the narrative flair that kicks in with the second volume and presumably displays the true artistry of Valmiki. Were the Ramáyana simply a novel, one might say that it would be better to excise or at least severely trim this first book. As it stands, it is somewhat as though tradition had
It is no doubt a human tale, but there is some sentiment it evokes that I cannot put into words. Some tug just behind the tear-producing glands ...I found that this telling captured how I'd felt about the Ramayana, having grown up listening to all the stories as part of nightcaps or preludes to evening prayers, living both unashamedly indian and unconfusedly western lives. It was honest and plain, glorious and abundant, rich and telling, and yet so bizarrely mysterious.I remember the first time
As part of reading different versions of Ramayana, I have read this book. This is the best one I have come across till date. The author presents the story devoid of his opinion or biases which is something I liked.I also liked the way he draws parallels between Valmiki Ramayana and Kamban Ramayana.Such a relief to read this after reading Devdutt Patnaik's version ('Sita' one of the worst books I have read)
