Ramayana
'' To say Ramayana is one of the great epics of India may be a misleading understatement, for it is of far greater importance to India than the Greek epics are to Western thought....Buck has succceeded better than anyone elese in conveying the spirit of the original. '' ''For the purposes of the general reader, the biik is flawless: a marvelous tale, told with allan the elan of a Tolkein, charmingly but unobtrusively illustrated, and with an introduction by a prominent Sanskritist. ''
The Adhyatma Ramayana
The Adhyatma Ramayana is a canonical book of the Vaishnavas and is a part of the Brahmanda Purana. It is very highly respected by all classes of Hindus for the beauty of its language, its flow of verse, its clear statement of the doctrines of the Vedanta, and like the Bhagavada Gita, for its combination of the path of devotion with that of Knowledge.
