BACKCOVER SAYS:
Epics like the Ramayana have been recounted infinite times.
Is there a need for another chronicle in the presence of so many? How is this
one different? And is it relevant to our ever changing modern lives?
Yes, there is a need; yes, this is different; and yes, it is
most relevant! This new series of books, each following one volume of the
original Ramayana, decodes the eternal wisdom of that poetic scripture through
gripping narrative and thought-provoking instruction. In the time-honoured custom
of spreading wisdom through tales, every fascinating story in the epic is
retold here and every character unfolded to captivate your heart and open your
mind to life’s deepest questions.
The narrative closely follows Valmiki’s Ramayana, gently
weaving in folk tales as well as the beautiful analogies of the Kamba Ramayana.
The first of this six-volume series, Rise
of the Sun Prince, takes you through the divine story of Lord Rama from His
birth upto his marriage.
Through these pages are revealed the tales of Dasaratha’s
leadership, Vishwamitra’s quest for power and the intriguing story of a
little-known stone maiden, Ramayana: The Game of Life has all of this and much
more- food for contemporary thought drawn from an enduring masterpiece.
RAUMALI’S VIEWS:
I am always been a huge fan of Indian mythology and this
book has become one of my favourites.
The Rise of the Sun Prince by Shubha Vilas is essentially
the part one (Bala Kanda) of the Indian scripture Ramayana as written by the
sage Valmiki, mixed with a few anecdotes and embellishmens from the Kamba
Ramayana (another version of the sacred text).
The book is simple yet elaborate, the story is decomposed
just enough for the casual reader to understand and yet it is sophisticated
enough to prevent itself from being turned into another soulless recital.
The saga of Ramayana was written by Valmiki and the current
volume – The Rise of the Sun Prince takes its readers through the birth and
pre-birth era of Rama to the marriage of Lord Rama with Sita.
The book tells
the purpose of Ramayana in a very simplified manner.
The book is written very simply yet the narration is very
exciting and perfect. Shubha Vilas has led us through various aspects of Lord
Rama’s birth, his journey with Lakshmana and Vishwamitra and his respect for
elders. Through these pages, the tales of Dasarathas leadership, Vishwamitras
quest for power and the intriguing story of a little known stone maiden are
revealed.
Shubha Vilas has beautifully penned down the mythological
story of Ramayana and lucidly described the various characters.
Overall this book is a good read. I would definitely
recommend this book.
