Publisher's Summary

This wondrous tale of cosmic adventure immerses the listener in a world of heroes, gods, and demons. It tells the story of the Lord Rama, the 7th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. At about 50,000 lines the original Ramayana is one of the largest epic poems in history - as well as one of the world's most important literary and spiritual masterpieces. This translation by William Buck makes the ancient text accessible to the modern Western world, while preserving the richness of the original.

Inspiring Reading

Approaching the story naively, not being a born a Hindu nor being very familiar with the story prior, this colourful, fun, and passionate reading moved me emotionally, inspiring a feeling of devotion for the characters. I was particularly moved by the relationship between Rama and Hanuman. I’m very thankful for coming across this and it makes me want to read and explore more of the Ramayana for myself.

Couldn’t ask for a better experience, The Ramayana read by Ramm Dass? Almost couldn’t believe it when it started playing! Amazing suggest to anyone looking to experience this incredible story and teaching.

Very Inspiring Read

I listed to this right after I listened to Polishing the Mirror by Ram Dass. The story is wisdom. It teaches the ideal way to live in our Dharma, to have unflinching devotion to god, it’s a story of great love between lover, family, and friends. It unites us with Mother Earth and all her creatures. Lots of symbolism.
