Valmiki's Ramayana is believed to be the first poetic work written in Sanskrit; it is, therefore, referred to as the Adikavya. It is said that Brahma assured Valmiki that "as long as the mountains stand and the rivers flow, so long shall the Ramayana be read by men". In the Puranas, Rama is described as an avatar of Vishnu, but Valmiki does not refer to him as God. The few verses which do so are considered interpolations. The Ramayana consists of 24,000 verses. There are six sections - The Bala Kanda, the Ayodhya Kanda, the Aranya Kanda, the Kishkindha Kanda, the Sundara Kanda and the Yuddha Kanda. The seventh section, the Uttara Kanda, is probably an interpolation. Valmiki's monumental work influenced other great poems on the same theme. Among these are the Hindi, Tamil and Bengali versions of the Ramayana written by Tulsidas in the North; Kamban in the South; and Krittivasa in the East. The Ramayana has made a deep and abiding impact. Bas reliefs and paintings depicting scenes from the Ramayana are to be found not only in temples all over India, but also in Indonesia and Angkor Vat, Kampuchea.

Great book but......

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 16 March 2020

Verified Purchase

The book is great with colourful illustrations. But there are two main aspects of the story where the content is missing it misleading.

1. There was no mention of 'Lakshmana Rekha', a protective line that Lakshmana draws to protect Sita before he goes in search of Rama. Ravana knows that he cannot cross that line to abduct Sita so he falsely misleads her and makes herself cross that line to finally abduct.

2. There was no mention of 'Sanjeevani' herbal plant although it was said in the book that Hanuman brought the mountain as a whole when instructed to just bring a herbal medicinal plant that grows on the mountain that was supposed to be administered to bring Lakshama back to consciousness when struck by Indrajit arrows.

I think these are very well known pivotal aspects of the Valmiki ramayana story that are missing and substituted by some other storyline.

Apart from these rest is a good.

Some parts of this Epic have been altered to imagination.

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 5 December 2020

I have always been a fan of ACK since childhood. I recently bought Ramayana book for my 5 year old and I am a little disappointed with ACK for changing facts of this epic.

1) According to the book, Lord Rama tells Surpanaka that he is married and to try for his brother Lakshmana, when he is already married to King Janaka's daughter Urmila.

2) Acc to this book, King Ravana kidnaps Sita rather violently. Sita is dragged by her hair by Ravana. This part shocked me. Ravana was a great King, not good but definitely great. He was an unparalleled King and Shiv Bhakth.

He never physically assaulted Sita. Moreover no one can touch Sita because it would burn them.

He kidnaps Sita after she faints witnessing his real avatar. He ploughs land around with his bare hands and lifts her up along with the ground. Like Hanuman lifts a mountain.

ACK this is not Valmiki Ramayana. Please refer to the original version and I urge you not to portray characters out of your imagination and title them as Valmiki Ramayana.

There is no better way than this to introduce Indian Epics to children. Written in conversational mode with pixtures. Every Indian child should start with reading Ramayan from Amar Chitra Katha
