Ramayana

India's Immortal Tale of Adventure, Love and Wisdom

By: Krishna Dharma, Valmiki Ramayana

Narrated by: Krishna Dharma

Ramayana must rank as one of the most loved and revered books of all time. A part of India's ancient Vedas, it is a beautiful story of romance and adventure. It recounts the history of Rama, said be an incarnation of the Godhead, and his divine consort Sita.

Filled with magic and mysticism, it entrances the listener and stirs deeply moving emotions. At the same time its profound spiritual messages leave one feeling uplifted and enriched. This is a novelization of the classic. It contains all the essential narrative of the original Sanskrit poem, but written in a contemporary style.

Whilst adhering closely to the original, I have used the techniques of character development and dramatization to draw the listener into the action. By weaving in other spiritual commentaries on this sacred text, I have also tried to offer the listener the benefit of the wisdom of India's seers and sages.

As I am sure you will discover when your listen to the book, that wisdom is as relevant in today's stressful world as it was thousands of years ago, when it was first written. It was my love for this wonderful book which prompted me to write my adaptation, and I hope I have been able to share that love with others.

An Absolute Epic!

Growing up in multi cultural Trinidad I was always aware of this story but never really following the details. the audio book gave me a grater picture and understanding of it all.
themes of love, loyalty, honesty, good evil and forgiveness in one great epic.
get yours and enjoy...and learn.

One of the best translation of Ramayana.

Thank you for this Audiobook and the detailed descriptions. This book took me back to the Ramayana era and made me feel like I was a part of it. May be I was one of the monkey now assisting SP :p AGTSP AGTSG&SG

Wonderfully read

Wonderfully read and legitimately entertaining story. Its biblical style is similar to LOTR and also informs about culture of ancient India and Hindu traditions.

A Good Telling

The simple reading seemed appropriate for the tale, as it gave it the feeling like someone was truly sharing the story orally. No music distracted from the telling; only vocal inflection changed the mood. The tale itself proceeds like a Dragon Ball Z episode: spots of humor, lots of emotional dramatics. supremely powerful gods and monkeys, and half of battles are really long power charges. Most importantly, it is an amusing and wise tale that has a large impact on Hindu culture. It is definitely worth a listen.

RANAYANA

This is the best! I love it the reading so much.
