Description: Ramayana (Bhavan's Book University) by C. Rajagopalachari. Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Bombay, 1979. 320 page trade paperback with mild outer age wear - no interior markings or other glaring flaws. The Ramayana is not history or biography. It is a part of Hindu mythology. One cannot understand Hindu Dharma unless one knows Rama and Seeta, Bharata, Lakshmana, Ravana, Kumbhakarna and Hanuman. More details: Mythology can not be dispensed with. Philosophy alone or rituals alone or mythology alone cannot be sufficient. These are the three strands of all ancient religions. The attitude towards things spiritual which belongs to a particular people cannot be grasped or preserved or conveyed unless we have all these three. To millions of men, women and children in India, the Ramayana is not a mere tale. It has more truth and meaning than the events in one's own life. Just as plants grow under the influence of sunlight, the people of India grow in mental strength and culture by absorbing the glowing inspiration of the Ramayana. Mahabharata (Bhavan's Book University) by C. Rajagopalachari. Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Bombay, 1979. 332 page trade paperback with mild outer age wear - no interior markings or other glaring flaws. Centuries ago, it was proclaimed of the Mahabharata: "What is not in it, is nowhere." But even now, we can use the same words about it. He who knows it not, knows not the heights and depths of the soul; he misses the trials and tragedy and the beauty and grandeur of life. More details: The Mahabharata is not a mere epic; it is a romance, telling the tale of heroic men and women, and of some who were divine; it is a whole literature in itself, containing a code of life, a philosophy of social and ethical relations, and speculative thought on human problems that is hard to rival; but, above all, it has for its core the Gita,which is, as the world is beginning to find out, the noblest of scriptures and the grandest of sagas in which the climax is reached in the wondrous apocalypse in the Eleventh Canto. $4.99 domestic U.S. shipping.
