Über diesen Titel
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.

Also, there's a healthy balance between external events and their spiritual significance, the latter being seamlessly integrated into the narrative without feeling forced. I've bookmarked all these for myself.
Perhaps the war might have been slightly more compressed, but as it is, you get a sense for the way stories were told in ancient India: they were drawn out, included incredibly huge numbers (of warriors and battles, for instance), with new, unexpected twists waiting at every corner, even after the climax (i.e. the bad guy's death and the reestablishment of order). Krishna Dharma's lengthy retelling captures all that beautifully.
Another thing I really liked about the story was the fact that the rakshasas (the bad guys) had complex characters, and were not altogether evil in every respect (not even their chief), unlike in many other novels, where the bad guys are ‘flat’, i.e. simply evil - period. An intelligent touch by the ancient rishis, I'd say ...
The author reads out his own book with insight and passion, yet with the necessary decorum befitting an ancient epic. Having just finished it, I feel uplifted, optimistic and at peace ;-)
Absolutely brilliant, engaging and powerful!
