Ramayana - A Modern Retelling offers an intriguing look at Hindu mythology, tracing the extraordinary lives and aspirations of those who lived in ancient India. This story is not history or biography, but about what could have been. One of the oldest living religions in the world, Hinduism is unique in that it has many sects but no single leader. Its beliefs have evolved over 4,000 years, and it numbers over 1 billion followers. It is difficult to understand Hindu Dharma unless one tries to understand the characters of Raama, Lakshmana, Seetha, Bharata, and Hanuman. This book does just that. Ruling over the kingdom of Khosala from the city of Ayodhya, King Dasaratha is beloved and respected by all. Although he has three wives, he is childless. To rectify the matter, a powerful prayer is performed. Within a year, four sons are delivered by his three wives, including a set of twins. Named Raama, Bharata, Lakshmana and Shatrugna, they train to become royal princes. As the brothers mature, they are molded by training and royal values. This greatest of epic stories follows them as they marry and fight for their honour. The story blazes across India until a new king is crowned. Squadron Leader S. Ravi [IAF] Retd, was born and raised in Chennai, a city in southern India. After graduating in mechanical engineering from Regional Engineering College, Rourkela, Ravi joined the Indian Air Force as a commissioned officer. Having travelled the world as an officer, Ravi is now a business consultant for a company called Force 1 and is living in Chennai with his wife.

The Ramayana is certainly one of the world's oldest legends.Modern scholars claim that it was first composed around 300 BC.The devout hindu believes that Rama lived many hundred millenia ago,in the treta yuga, and that was also when the Valmiki first told his immortal story.The epic is called the Adi Kavya,the world's first poem.The God Brahma himself is meant to have inspired Valmiki to creat his classics,in twenty-four thousand slokas. The sages of India have always said that thye true purpose of the Ramayana is to awaken its reader spiritually, and to send him forth on the great journey that leads to moksha,to God. These masters of old held that listening to the Ramayana washes one's sins and purifies the body and the mind. They also believed that hearing or reading the epic with faith will give a man anything at all that his heart desires. Besides,the legend is a literary masterpiece in every sense,full of enchantment,mystery and wisdom. Hardly a handful of books in any language, from any age or part of the world, can be compared to it. The epic came through the mists of time in the ancient oral tradition of guru and shishya, before it was first written down. Alonng the way, surely, numberless variations and embellishments were introduces into it by a host of now forgotten rishis, pauranikas, and even grandmothers telling Rama's story to their grandchindren- in so many different languages and folk traditions. There is also a comparatively recent traditions of retelling the Ramayana in English, to which this volume belongs. Though he takes no liberties with the story, Ramesh menon's Ramayana is a novelist's lush, imaginative rendering of the epic, rather than a scholar's translation. Yet, even if the language he uses is modern and exciting, his book remains, first and last, a work of worship, of bhakti. As he wrote and rewrote it for ten years, this was his offering to Rama.
