Ram Ki Gatha (Hindi)- by Devdutt Patnayak [Paperback]

“Ram's story is a metaphor for human strengths and weaknesses, as well as a window into internal divinity.” - Tehalka

Ram is the embodiment of dharma (righteousness), the greatest standard-bearer of social values, a descendant of the Raghu clan, a gem of the Solar dynasty, and the seventh avatar of Vishnu. He has been criticized by feminists and appropriated by politicians, yet he remains serene in his glory, being the only Hindu deity worshiped as a king. Join Devdutt Pattanaik in this quest to understand the relevance of Ram in today’s world, as he unravels the layers of metaphors and meanings hidden within various narratives of the Ramayana.
