Book Title: Ramayana - The Game of Life: Rise of the Sun Prince
Book Author: Shubha Vilas
Book Essence: Mythology
Price: Rs 250
Ramayana
is one of the greatest mythological stories told to every child in India and
yes there are many reasons behind this. I feel that one must read Ramayana
again and again during childhood, teenage, adulthood and old age because every
time we read it we get different lessons which are very important to live a
good and positive life. The first part
of the book where author tells the details about qualities possessed by a true
Hero and no other than Ram had those many qualities since this recent kalyug.
Ramayana
is collection of book 6 and I am glad to start with the first book Rise of the
Sun Prince. The author has narrated the story in comprehensive manner which is
very easy to understand. Ramayana is basically a book containing loads of
lessons of morality. The writing style of author is in such a ways the Ramayana
is understandable for this generation. It was necessary to have such version of
Ramayana.
Rise of
the Sun Prince describes story of birth of Rama and it goes on till his
Marriage. Rama was growing under guidance of Vishmamitra and learning how to face
the evils.Vishmamitra character in the book is really interesting who was a
teacher to Rama and lakshmana.
The best
part of the book is that it is self explanatory, author has also explained the
meaning between the lines and how ancient teaching techniques are also useful in
the present era. The explanatory notes are like a cherry on the cake. As reader
it is self explaining novel all you have to do is just read.
While reading
the book I even doubted my long held believes but it was really necessary to
learn new things and the book enlighten my thoughts and believes. Change is the
only constant thing in life and hence modern meaning of Ramayana meaning was
just perfect thought provoking book for this generation who gets bored when
topic of mythology comes in picture.
Even I am
person who do not enjoy reading mythology I used to think why to know more
about that we already know the main story, but I enjoyed reading this book as
it was easy to understand, self explanatory, thought provoking and interesting.
