Rama: A Man of Dharma
by Priya Arora, Priya Arora
Ramayana is not just an epic, it's an emotion, a tradition, a tale that binds the generations and provides moral values for everyone. Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan in the 1980s created a new wave which was again recreated during the pandemic with its repeat telecast. The historic Ayodya Ram Mandir opened in January this year and the sentiments are high! And amidst all of these, a lot of questions arise related to the epic tale, with its relevance in today's time and the Rm Rajya!
Rama: A Man of Dharma by Priya Arora is a retelling of Valmiki's Ramayana that brings alive the Sanskrit epic for a wider audience without diluting the intent of the original.
Ram Rajya is an inspiration for the democratic values in today's time - liberty, equality, fraternity and justice - and with the increasing focus on its implementation, it's vital to understand the source material, and Arora tried to present it very well.
The footnotes are given at every important junction that needs elaboration in context to today's time and the question that the epic faces. The 'Appendices' is the heart of the book, and though it comes at the end, it dives deeper into Vedic life, Yoga and Purushartha, Varna system, the position of women in Vedic Society, the message of Ramayana, and the debate of historicity of Shri Ram, it covers everything that one can looking forward to and generates curiosity to explore it more.
