RAMA Man of Dharma (Retelling of Valmiki's Ramayana) - 1 - Haryana Ebury Press 2024 - 519
The Ramayana is thousands of years old, yet it is filled with life lessons that benefit us even today. It teaches courage and fortitude to handle problems that are the inevitable result of birth. Reading it instils 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. He illustrates how one can attain liberation from suffering not by renunciation but by engaging fully in life, yet rising above it, through the purity of our choices.
This retelling of Valmiki’s Ramayana is a compelling read. It brings alive the poet’s ancient Sanskrit epic in lucid English without diluting the original intent. Making this edition truly special are the additional chapters on Vedic life, Rama’s descendants and the story of Valmiki.
Read this book and be amazed at the profound thinking of our ancestors. The values we cherish today—democracy, liberty, equality and justice—are at the core of this story. Rama embodies righteousness that never loses relevance, making him a man of dharma and a role model in every age.
