Ramayana: Story of Devotion and Duty

Ramayana: The Game of Life – Book 1: Roar with Courage: Turning Bad into Good

The Ramayana is not a story. It is a way of life. It is the game of life. A good game is full of twists and turns at every stage and this magical epic arms us with valuable tools to deal with anomalies in our own lives. These quirks turn us into valiant warriors in the face of the most challenging situations. Each one of us falls into three categories in this game: • Positive contributor.

So which role do you want to play in this game? Roar with Courage is the first book in Ramayana: The Game of Life series.

Ramayana: The Game of Life – Book 2: Conquer Change: Managing Reversals and Letting Go

The Ramayana is not a story. It is a way of life. It is the game of life. Life should be predictable and smooth—this is what most of us are comfortable with. In reality, we face stress, hard times and unexpected upheavals that can knock our breath out. Every situation in the Ramayana is a reflection of our modern dilemmas, and teaches us to: • Face challenges positively. The enigmatic Rama is unwavering in his many acts of valour. • Deal with temptation. A judicious Bharata’s decisions and subsequent help in making decisions. • Step out of the comfort zone. Resolute in her faith, Sita is an inspiration to anyone willing to explore beyond their usual confines. How do we cope with a sudden turn of events without losing hope? Conquer Change is the second book in Ramayana: The Game of Life series. A modern retelling of the Ayodhya Kanda of Valmiki’s epic, the book is all about facing the reversal of fortune and moving on. Author Shubha Vilas reveals profound rules of human relationships and conduct – what works, what fails to work and how to navigate through this amazing labyrinth.

Ramayana: The Game of Life – Book 3: Adopt Patience: Building Trust and Gaining Trust

The Ramayana is not a story. It is a way of life. It is the game of life. Feeling frustrated over events that are out of our control is a waste of energy and time. Rama and his army survived the grim years of exile by being patient and persistent, trusting each other with their lives. The characters’ determination reflects our own set of values and judgment during challenging situations and how we must: • Cut through the chaos. Rama’s righteousness helped him stay his course, undeterred. • Adhere to your principles. Laxman’s loyalty ensured that he remained where he needed to be for good to triumph over evil. • Remain calm in the face of adversity. Sita’s resilience allowed her to endure her terrible predicament. Do you have the patience to stick with your goals till the end? Adopt Patience is the third book in Ramayana: The Game of Life series. A modern retelling of the Aranya Kanda of Valmiki’s epic, this volume explores the dynamics of the complex games of power and greed, mirroring our own dilemmas in the modern world, and prompts us to overcome them using the wisdom spilled over these pages.

Ramayana: The Game of Life – Book 4: Stand Strong: Keeping Faith and Conquering Fear

The Ramayana is not a story. It is a way of life. It is the game of life. Life is a constant reminder that nothing, however powerful in one season, remains so in the next. These endless cycles of change could really spook someone who is unprepared to face the realities. Remember that situations of helplessness are always created by one’s own limited imagination. • Perception appears larger than reality. Many were afraid to battle the Lankans, but grounded in reality, Rama and his army managed to free Sita. • Fear results in pain. Lying broken and bruised, Sampati did not believe he could help until he did and it made all the difference. • Clarity leads to freedom. Rama never wavered in his single-minded pursuit, and eventually got exactly what he wanted. Do you have the courage to face your fears? Stand Strong is the fourth book in Ramayana: The Game of Life series. A modern retelling of the Kishkindha Kanda of Valmiki’s epic, it reminds us through the tragic story of brothers Vali and Sugriva that life is like a dangerous treasure hunt. One must be resilient while running through confusing, zigzagging paths to acquire essential wisdom.

Ramayana: The Game of Life – Book 5: Radiate Confidence: Being Patient and Finding Success

The Ramayana is not a story. It is a way of life. It is the game of life. How one expands one’s scope of action with confidence and calm under extremely challenging circumstances is what separates the extraordinary from the ordinary, just like Hanuman did. His selfless determination to stay the course with steadfast focus and faith to accomplish his mission makes him a worthy and inspiring protagonist. Here are some invaluable lessons from his life on overcoming obstacles: • Be confident. With unwavering faith in himself, Hanuman jumped across the ocean to find Sita in an unfamiliar land. • Say no to distractions. Absolute focus helped him prioritize his course of action. • Know your rivals. Competing with Surasa would be futile, so he realized that it was wiser to take on a humbler approach. Are you confident and fearless enough to achieve your goals? Radiate Confidence is the fifth book in Ramayana: The Game of Life series. A modern retelling of the Sundara Kanda of Valmiki’s epic, this book highlights Hanuman’s devotion and heroics. Replete with lessons on faithfulness, loyalty, self-confidence, self-belief, fearlessness and all the attributes that help counter challenges and find success, the author, Shubha Vilas, illuminates the path to success.

Ramayana: The Game of Life – Book 6: Think Big to Win: Dare to Transform Your Life

The Ramayana is not a story. It is a way of life. It is the game of life. How one responds to difficult situations when faced with challenges determines the outcome. The ability of Rama’s army of vanaras to envision building the bridge from the mainland to Lanka to rescue Sita is one of the many lessons on faith. Here are some invaluable lessons on overcoming obstacles. • Think big. The tiny squirrels contributed in their small ways to build the mammoth bridge to Lanka. • Aim high. Sugriva, leading a vanara army, dared to win a war without any armor or training against a sophisticated demon army. • Recognise opportunities and adapt. Hanuman could expand his size or contract, focusing on his goal to serve Rama. Are You Thinking Big to Succeed in Life? Think Big to Win is the sixth book in Ramayana: The Game of Life series. A modern retelling of the Yuddha Kanda of Valmiki’s epic, this book highlights the efforts of the various characters who irrespective of their size, stature or abilities, succeeded in helping Rama rescue Sita from Lanka. Teeming with lessons in self-belief and daring to take up tasks which may seem beyond your capacity and accomplishing them, the book evokes progressive attitudes to help you overcome self-perceived limitations and achieve your dreams.

Sita and Ravana: The Last Battle: Adbhut Ramayana Retold

Based on Valmiki’s Adbhut Ramayana, this is the story of Sita like you’ve never seen her before… The war in Lanka is over. Ravana is dead, and the victorious Rama returns to Ayodhya to be crowned king of Kosala. But this is not the end of evil—a far greater threat looms over the three worlds. Ravana’s elder brother, the wicked, thousand-headed Sahastra Ravana, rules the fabulously rich island of Pushkar. A tyrant among asuras, he terrorizes the gods and even defeats Vishnu himself in battle. Determined to put an end to his reign, King Rama declares war and sets out for Pushkar with Sita and his brothers. He is joined by Sugriva's vanaras, Jambavan’s bears, and Vibhishana’s asuras, forming an army like no other. The two forces collide in a battle that shakes the very foundation of the cosmos. Arrows and divine astras darken the skies as Rama and Ravana engage in a deadly duel. To the horror of the gods, Rama falls, mortally wounded. And then, as time itself holds its breath, Sita steps forward. She embraces her dying husband, then turns to face Ravana. The cosmos watches as Sita and Ravana meet—for the last battle.

Ramayana Versus Mahabharata: My Playful Comparison

It is a popular belief that the Ramayana is idealistic, while the Mahabharata is realistic. Yet these two epics have identical building blocks, identical themes, and identical history.In this ground-breaking book, Devdutt Pattanaik, India’s most popular mythologist, explores the similarities and dissimilarities between the two epics in a ‘playful analysis’ accompanied by his signature illustrations. Whether it is the family structure, forest exile, or war, the comparison between the two epics proves a startling point—the Mahabharata is in fact a reaction to the events in the Ramayana.Ideas in this book are distributed over 56 chapters. In temple ritual, Vishnu is offered 8 different meals daily, different on all seven days of the week—56 dishes in all. May each chapter serve as a mouth-watering offering to the Vishnu within you.

Ramayana for Children

The story of Rama, the righteous prince of Ayodhya, is so powerful and well-loved that it has been told and retold many times and in many languages over centuries. There have been several retellings of this great Indian epic especially for children. But none of these versions adhere faithfully to the oldest version of Rama’s story, Valmiki’s Ramayana, composed about 2,500 years ago. This illustrated version falls back on the original composition and retells the story of Rama, the beloved prince of Ayodhya, his virtuous and beautiful wife Sita, and the demon-king Ravana who attained salvation at the hands of Rama—an avatar of Lord Vishnu.

Shree Ramayana Mahanveshanam (Set Of 2 Books)

Dr. M. Veerappa Moily's Shree Ramayana Mahanveshanam is a highly laudable work which, though rooted in the contemporary Indian context, addresses universal concerns and presents a unique vision of past, present and future all clubbed into one. The title literally signifying quest and examination, the book rightly explores the Ramatattwa or the true principles of the Rama story, from a secularist modernist perspective. Moily has introduced several new characters and incidents in the epic, at the same time, taking great care of retaining the original essence of Valmiki's Ramayana. Moily re interprets many familiar incidents from the point of view of modern sensibility. He has drawn freely from Jaina and folk traditions.

Ramayana: Before He was God

Millions of people in India and elsewhere believe that Rama, the hero of Valmiki's ancient Sanskrit epic, Ramayana, was a historical figure like Jesus Christ and Valmiki's timeless epic, like the New Testament, a faithful account of Rama's life, his trials, tribulations and triumph.
