Book Description
Tulsīdāsa’s Shrī Rāma-Charita-Mānasa, written in the 16th century, is an epic scripture that has always gripped the imagination of Bhārat (India) and shaped its value system, traditions, and culture. Yet, the original written in the vernacular, Awadhi is not understood by all. This annotated, word-for-word English translation fills that gap—enabling a deeper, in-depth understanding of the finer nuances and mysteries lurking in the greatest of scriptures ever to be written. A must-read for anyone wishing to comprehend the depths of the Rāma story told in this literary masterpiece.
The scripture, a voluminous text, with translation, annotated notes, and images is laid out in three volumes. The following details provide a bird’s eye view of the contents of this book.
