About this listen

A delightfully straightforward and lyrical retelling of the ancient Indian epic of loyalty, betrayal, redemption, and insight into the true nature of life - one of history's most sacred ethical works, rendered with completeness and sterling accuracy for the modern listener.

Here is one of the world's most hallowed works of sacred literature, the grand, sweeping epic of the divine bowman and warrior Rama and his struggles with evil, power, duplicity, and avarice. The Ramayana is one of the foundations of world literature and one of humanity's most ancient and treasured ethical and spiritual works. Includes an introduction by scholar Michael Sternfeld.

Well retorld and inviting recapture of the story

I really enjoyed the narrator. Putting that up front. It gave the narration an intentional authenticity that I appreciated. Generally just very well done and enjoyed, but that's the J mark.

Excellent narration of Indian mythology

Its an excellent audiobook to own and listen to. I know ramayana since my childhood. But it worth listening to again. The narrator did a great job in depicting the events.

Narrator has to get Sanskrit Pronunciations right

This is such a good Story but every time the Narrator (Deepti Gupta) tries to speak Sanskrit, i cringe. Her Sanskrit is an example of what it should not sound like!

This should be taught in school.
One day humanity will get back to following the principles followed by Rama
