these are great

I think that everything from the storytelling, to the lessons Within, to the speaker Without has been excellent.

Absolutely extraordinarily beautiful.

Many Ramayanas, yes, but none brought to life more beautifully. In the age of jihad, I can understand the need for all the disclaimers but it's the only detractor/distractor I can find with this work. I also wish it were one continuous offering (a book) that I can own and not have only as a podcast that might disappear without notice. But, it is here and now and I cannot recommend it more highly. I have nearly a thousand books in my Audible library alone but none do I cherish more than this little jewel. The reading of this classic is without peer. It is like an elderly grandfather reading to his grandchild in the most loving and instructive way that just cannot be put into words.
