Rama Katha Rasavahini - Delux Edition

Here is the never fading, ever fresh and fragrant Rama story retold in all its magnificence by none other than Sai Rama whose life it was in the Thretha Yuga. The Rama story, a stream of sacred sweetness, is an intensely human drama where God took the form of man and gathered around Him, the perfect and the imperfect, the human and subhuman, the beast and the demon, to confer on us, by precept and example, the boon of supreme wisdom. The story of Rama has struck root in the conscience of peoples the world over, prodding and prompting them along the paths of Truth, Righteousness, Peace and Love.

Speaking on the symbolic significance of this grand story, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba explains, "Dasaratha is the representative of the merely physical, with the ten senses. The four goals of life, the purusharthas, are the four sons (Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Satrughna) Hanuman is the embodiment of courage. The three rakshasa chiefs are personifications of the Rajasic (Ravana), Thamasic (Kumbakharana) and Sathwic (Vibhishana) qualities. Sita is the Awareness of the Universal Absolute (Brahma Jnana)."

Bhagawan Baba has so beautifully narrated the events with such vivid details that the reader can easily visualize them as and when they unfold. As one reads through the pages of this historic book one can acquaint oneself with the values that each character of this great epic tends to teach, which, if emulated would make life blissful to such an extent that the world would be a better place to live. It is a powerful and inspiring story that abounds with instances of self denial and detachment, besides stressing on the need to live in the constant awareness of the divinity that exists in every one.
