Book excerpt: The epic story of Rama, which is part of the Indian collective consciousness, has been retold in many regional languages. Pre-eminent among the many vernacular retellings of the Ramayana is the twelfth-century Tamil version by Kamban. The son of a temple drummer, Kamban is reputed to have had an impressive mastery of Tamil and Sanskrit classics. Fascinated by the lore of Ramayana, he immersed himself totally in it. Though Kamban acknowledges his indebtedness to the Sanskrit version of the Ramayana by Valmiki, his is an independent work, enriched by various religious, philosophical and literary influences. The Kamba Ramayana differs from Valmiki's in significant ways. Though cast in the heroic mould of a Purushotama or 'the best among men', Valmiki's Rama is still a man. Kamban, on the other hand, never allows the reader to forget the godhood of Rama. His Ravana too, though flawed, is a heroic figure. While Valmiki's diction is sparse and direct, Kamban's exuberant prose sparkles with wit and inventiveness. Translated into English by the late P.S. Sundaram, this edition has been abridged and edited by his long-time friend N.S. Jagannathan. translation retains the magic and poetry of the original. A major new addition to the Penguin Classics The classic Tamil work now finally available in an accessible single volume edition

Book excerpt: One of India’s greatest epics, the Ramayana pervades the country’s moral and cultural consciousness. For generations it has served as a bedtime story for Indian children, while at the same time engaging the interest of philosophers and theologians. Believed to have been composed by Valmiki sometime between the eighth and sixth centuries BCE, the Ramayana tells the tragic and magical story of Rama, the prince of Ayodhya, an incarnation of Lord Visnu, born to rid the earth of the terrible demon Ravana. An idealized heroic tale ending with the inevitable triumph of good over evil, the Ramayana is also an intensely personal story of family relationships, love and loss, duty and honor, of harem intrigue, petty jealousies, and destructive ambitions. All this played out in a universe populated by larger-than-life humans, gods and celestial beings, wondrous animals and terrifying demons. With her magnificent translation and superb introduction, Arshia Sattar has successfully bridged both time and space to bring this ancient classic to modern English readers.

Book Synopsis Living Ramayanas: Exploring the Plurality of the Epic in Wayanad and the World by : Azeez Tharuvana
Download or read book Living Ramayanas: Exploring the Plurality of the Epic in Wayanad and the World written by Azeez Tharuvana and published by Westland. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book A FASCINATING BOOK ON THE MANY VERSIONS OF RAMAYANA AND THEIR ORIGIN The renowned scholar A.K. Ramanujan was of the view that there are thousands of Ramayanas. He maintained that they are not variant texts of the Valmiki Ramayana, but largely independent ‘tellings’. Even in our age, when printing has become wide-spread, Rama’s story lives on in the minds of the people through narration and performance. In Kerala itself, there are many unwritten Ramayanas. It is believed that the crucial events in the epic unfolded in Wayanad. The names of places and community consciousness corroborate this belief: the ashram at Ashramkolly near Pulpally is Valmiki’s ashram; Jadayattakavu is where Sita went down into the earth; locals recognise the scar left by the tail of Hanuman. But there are several Ramayanas in Wayanad, not just one. In their differences are reflected the social relations of each community. The Adiya Ramayana, Chetti Ramayana and Sitayana, collected and edited by Azeez Tharuvana are innovative tellings. In this fascinating book, Tharuvana talks about the many forms of the timeless epic that originated in Wayanad against the backdrop of the other Ramayanas popular in India and abroad. The stories, collected as part of this effort, provide insights into the traditional cultural consciousness and ideological world of communities in Wayanad. Brilliantly researched and simply written, The Wayanad Ramayanas presents a new perspective: this ode to Rama is a social text, not a religious one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vikrant Pande and Neelesh Kulkarni's quest to retrace the trail of Rama's fabled travels during his years in exile began with their trying to locate Chitrakoot on the map and realizing that they had little idea where it might be. Curious about the places mentioned in the Ramayana, they set off on a journey of their own, following Rama's route from Ayodhya to the Dandakaranya forest and Panchavati (near Nashik) and on to Kishkindhya (close to Hampi), Rameshwaram and Sri Lanka. Along the way they would discover how closely the narrative of the Ramayana is linked to local folklore, and how the stories of the Ramayana and the moral framework that binds them together still speaks to the people who live in the land across which Rama, Sita and Lakshman made their journey. For the armchair traveller as well as the enthusiast for epic tales, this is a wonderful book with which to revisit the world of the Ramayana.
