Valmiki Ramayana Hardcover – October 1, 2017

Over the years I've read a few versions, like Bucks, et al. But I can see this is going to be the definitive version. It has copious notes(not distractingly), an extremely attractive cover for each volume, sturdy slipcase, and extremely meticulous research by Mr. Debroy. How much do I love this set? I've already ordered his 10 volume set of the Mahabharata. This gentleman knows his profession.

Must read for every one who follows Sanatana Dharma (Hindu religion). This collection of books includes translation in easy to read English of the original text of Ramayana written by sage Valmiki. It is an apt answer to those naysayers who say Ramayana is “Hindu Mythology” whereas it is actually a historical treatise which has been written off as story/ epic by the western world.

When Rama leaves Ayodhya his dad his mum all the people in the kingdom feel sad and cry. What a beautiful person he is . I came from a background where I had a bit aversion for Rama. Yet my grand parents used to have him in our puja room long ago. Nice to know about Lord Ram

Amazing quality, cant wait to read them!

Finally it is a pleasure to read the Ramayana in it’s full. This translation by Bibek Debroy is the next best to the original in Sanskrit.I can only imagine the poetic beauty Iit Sanskrit.The notes that have been provided adds to the value of the book - be i the context. Extra information or certain missing links Bibek Debroy has done a wonderful job in the translation of Ramayana
