Ramayana Secrets

Book excerpt: Ramayana Secrets is not just another retelling of the Ramayana. Instead, it unveils a deeper, lesser-known facet of this timeless epic—one where every character represents a facet of the human psyche. Through this lens, the Ramayana becomes a powerful allegory for the spiritual evolution that takes place within everyone. From the eternal struggle between ego and the higher self, to the significance of elements like the Vanara’s tail—offering stability in the chaotic ride of life—this book invites readers on a journey of profound self-discovery. In his first book, Ramesh Krishnakumar, a marine professional from Chennai, embarks on a personal quest to understand the essence of India’s living culture that has shaped generations. Through his unique interpretations, Krishnakumar offers a fresh perspective on how the wisdom of the Ramayana applies to our modern-day lives, illustrating how the journey toward spiritual harmony is as relevant now as it has ever been.
