Ramayan, a blend of “Lord Of The Rings” and “Star Wars,” and one of India’s oldest epics, longer than the Odyssey and Iliad combined, is a momentous story from start to finish. The hero, Prince Ram, heir to the throne of Kosala, loses his crown, then his wife, and is flung headlong into action packed adventure where he must battle against evil, gain wisdom and use mystical weapons in a final showdown with the most ruthless demon in the universe. This is a fresh, dramatic version of Ramayan aimed at English-speaking readers in the West.

Samskara Ramayana is a compilation and edition of some important selected portions from Ramcaraitmanasa to suit various occasions and thus to sanctify our lives. The human lifespan has been considered under seven headings; namely; birth and birthday; start of schooling; marriage; entering a new house; any happy even and; distressful situation and death. We selected appropriate portions from R¹macaritm¹nasa to be recited from all seven kandas (chapters) to suit these occasions. For each occasion; several episodes/portions or verses have been included so that the reader can make his own selection. It will provide an opportunity to understand various episodes in depth; they have been presented according to the serial order of kandas (chapters) and dohas. Some episodes or portions have been included in more than one section because they are so meaningful; beautiful and full of values that their repeated recitation may help transform our lives. It is hoped that the recitation of these verses take place not only for formal prayers on various occasions but also to disseminate the living and eternal values of Ramayana to each and everyone. There is also a brief commentary on the significance and importance of each section in general and the portions that have come under them specifically.

Chandrabati, the first woman poet in Bangla, lived in the sixteenth century in Mymensingh district in present day Bangladesh. She was also the first poet in the Bangla language to present a retelling of the Ram story from the point of view of Sita. Idolised as a model of marital obedience and chastity in Valmiki’s Ramayan, Chandrabati’s lyrical retelling of Sita’s story offers us a fresh perspective. Written in order to be sung before a non-courtly audience, mainly of womenfolk of rural Bengal, Chandrabati’s Ramayan adds new characters and situations to the story to provide new interpretations of already known events drawing richly on elements of existing genres. Its location in the tales of everyday life has ensured that Chandrabati’s Ramayan lives on in the hearts of village women of modern-day India.

In an age of apocalypse, the legendary battle between good and evil continues in a new epic adventure. 1300 years into the future, the world has suffered apocalyptic devastation. Only two nations survive: Aryavarta, where the last vestiges of humankind dwells, and Nark, a dark continent ruled by the savage Asuras. Ravan, the demonic ruler of Nark, threatens Aryavarta with his desire for world domination, as his legions march forth and spread his evil empire. But hope remains in the form of four brothers, the princes of Aryavarta: Bharat, Shatrughan, Lakshman and the Prince Rama. They remain duty-bound to protect the war-torn outposts of Aryavarta from Ravan's forces but as the battle rages Prince Rama must choose between duty and the survival of his people. This is a triumph of imagination. The core characters and story of the world's greatest epics, the Ramayan, has been respectfully converted into a futuristic, post-apocalyptic tale, which blazes along at a blistering pace.
