Ramayana: India's Immortal Tale of Adventure, Love and Wisdom

My only reading of Ramayana, but this English translation flowed nicely. The interactive index is fine. There were very, very few typos. I did sample the other attempts at more literal translations which seemed more like work than pleasure reading. Since I don't read sanskrit for the real musical flow, this version's retelling seemed like a good effort to provide that. I was pleased to have spent the money versus the free ones.

Humanity at large should read this soul stirring history of love, and adventure.. One will enjoy reading over and over again.

Very simple and enjoyable rendition of the Ramayana, however I feel that much was left out, like Rama’s worship of Shiva, for instance.

Easy to follow essential story of this devotional classic.

I didn't know the content of this indian famous epic, but somehow i was eager to unfold it. Rama is the man of all virtues, capable of bearing every kind of adversity, and even when he's fighting Ravana, the personification of evil, he's quite accurate and fair. When Ravana falls e approaches him and sees greed, power, anger and selfishness departing, all the ego masks, he claims be facing a son of god. Pure poetry ;)

This author does a fantastic job with translations and making this ancient classic accessible to a modern audience.

This is a real easy to read version, reads more like a novel versus scripture which is what is suppose to be in Sanâtana Dharma.

Excellent Ramayan, well told and it finally resolved a deep issue I had with Seeta Devi being sent away after Ram's return to Ayodhya. This telling is true to Valmiki's original epic and anyone who wants to get clear on the original storyline, should read this.

I have always loved classical mythology and recently started getting interested in Hindu beliefs and myths. The Ramayana is a central text and I downloaded the kindle version of Krishna Dharma's retelling for 2 reasons. First of all, I wanted a prose version as I prefer to have meaning over meter. Secondly, this version was rated higher than the other versions. On both counts I got exactly what I was looking for. The Ramayana is one of the truly exceptional stories told by humankind. It is a story of duty, truth,virtue and love overcoming all obstacles and it is told beautifully by someone who is not only intelligent and insightful, but also truly loves the Ramayana and all the characters in it. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in world mythology or anyone looking for something special in an increasingly mundane and technological world. It is a story that is meant to speak directly to your soul and is told by a true storyteller who understands that. The only regret I have is that it has taken so long to read this. A truly brilliant and life affirming story

The author has done an amazing job with his version of Ramayana. It is presented in a simple story format but has profound effect on the readers. Thank you so much for writing this book.

Very nice! Wish were available came as a recorded audiobook as well.

The light was kept and words alive Ramayana resides here for good

Ein schönes Epos in einer ansprechenden Paperback Aufmachung mit schönen Abbildungen. Leider die typisch bruchanfällige Bindung von der Insel, aber is ja auch kein Buch für die S-Bahn.
