The Ramayana For Young Readers

by Sunita Puroshothaman, Raju Gupta (Illustrator)

The Ramayana is perhaps the most ancient and glorious epic in the world. It transcends barriers of time, space, caste and religion. Told by generations of grandparents to their grandchildren on their laps, the story of Rama has inculcated the most basic values to Indian children. The central message of the Ramayana is to demonstrate to us how to lead a virtuous life that doesn't violate any law of nature. The Ramayana teaches us how an ideal king, father, mother, husband, wife, brother, child and friend should be. The Ramayana for young readers is delightfully retold and brilliantly illustrated to enliven and enrich the learning of one's cultural and moral heritage.
