The Epic of Ram presents a new translation of the Rāmcaritmānas of Tulsidas (1543–1623). Written in Avadhi, a literary dialect of classical Hindi, the poem has become the most beloved retelling of the ancient Ramayana story across northern India. A devotional work revered and recited by millions of Hindus today, it is also a magisterial compendium of philosophy and lore and a literary masterpiece. This volume presents Tulsidas’s grand introduction to the Ram story, replete with philosophical and theological meditations and tales of gods, sages, and royalty.

    Avadhi text on the left is translatable using the english text, the effort is ultimately rewarding and urges you to sing along with tulsidas, because thats the whole point of an oral devotional text.

    Amazing experience reading the devanagiri script and awadhi text of Ram's story, and see an english translation to assimilate both. The author is par excellence and is a scholar on Hanuman.

    It is a commendable work. There is no doubt about it. But I, as a reader and a buyer had no clue that it is going to be in 7 volumes. I was under the impression that it is a two volume set. Quality of the printing is not up to the mark. May be because it was exclusively for the Indian market

    Western point of view well presented. If you want to watch yourself through the western lens read this book.
    But remember that it will be most useless of looking at our history

    1.0 out of 5 stars Western Interpretation of Ramayana and not the insider perspective of Ramayana
    Reviewed in India on 22 March 2016
    Sheldon Pollock is the editor-in-chief of the murthy classics. He says Ramayana is socially oppressive and it was outplayed in the 12th century AD to demonize the turkish invaders by the Hindu Kings, just like Bhagwan Ram Demonized Ravana. Hindu Kings also used Ramayana to claim that they were of Divine origin just like Bhagwan Rama.
