– A compelling translation of Valmiki’s Ramayana
– With extra chapters on Vedic life,
– Rama’s descendants and the story of Valmiki,
– Highlighting the values that we cherish today
This translation of Valmiki’s Ramayana, Rama: A Man of Dharma, is a compelling read while remaining true to the original work with exclusive illustrations.
It brings Valmiki’s ancient Sanskrit epic to you in lucid English without diluting the poet’s intent.
Valmiki’s Ramayana is also called “adikavya,” because it is the oldest piece of ancient poetic literature in existence, making it one of the greatest treasures of our civilization. Despite being thousands of years old, the Ramayana is filled with life lessons that benefit us even today; it empowers the reader with the fortitude to handle problems that are the inevitable result of birth. Reading it instills values like leadership, forbearance, loyalty, respect, equality, forgiveness, humility, and, most of all, selflessness.
Rama exemplifies eternally relevant dharma, demonstrating the path to enlightenment through conscious, selfless action. The values we cherish today—democracy, liberty, equality, and justice—are core to this story. This book has been written to highlight this most essential aspect of the Ramayana and that it is for everyone. The book also contains additional chapters on often misunderstood Vedic terms, Vedic life, and the story of Valmiki.
