Ramayan by Bishnupada Chakrabarty [Hardcover]

To begin with, it is important to note that this book is not a literal or adapted translation of the original Sanskrit Ramayana. Many revered scholars have already undertaken that work in various forms. Departing from the well-trodden path, the author has crafted a bilingual commentary on the Ramayana, comprising a detailed commentary and a concise commentary. Both versions offer a taste of the original epic, though in different dimensions.

In this era, people have limited time. Hence, readers can enjoy the Ramayana according to their own time constraints, as they wish to learn the story. Together, these two commentaries create an innovative "Ramayana Dictionary." All information related to the Ramayana is meticulously organized in a scientific manner here. This book presents various known and unknown stories from the Ramayana, all the main and secondary characters, the geographical environment of that time, the mythological atmosphere, scriptures, weapons, and seventeen genealogies. It includes maps of the paths taken by Ram, Ramanuja, and Sita during their exile, and the chronological succession of the Surya dynasty.

The author has painstakingly and devotedly brought forth all the necessary information from the profound depths of the epic. In other words, the author has encapsulated the scattered gems of the seven cantos of the Ramayana within the covers of this book.

This unique work provides an in-depth understanding of the Ramayana and its myriad elements.
