Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 A friend of mine is producing an unabridged audio rendition of the Ramayana. Here's some info: THE RAMAYANA--THE SACRED STORY FOR ENLIGHTENED LIFE The Great Epic of Vedic Literature is Now Available on Audio Cassette For information, please visit our web site (click here): http://www.RamayanAudio.com or Read on to learn more about this new recording: Dear Friend, As a lover of Vedic wisdom, I have always been enchanted by the richness and depth of the Ramayana. Since we seem to share a reverence for the Vedic tradition, I thought you would like to hear about this new production. My production company, Vedic Audio Knowledge, has recently released the historic first audio recording of the Ramayana--a dramatic reading in English of the unabridged "Ramayana of Valmiki". Volumes I and II are available now. The knowledge from the Vedic tradition is so vast and profound...and the Ramayana makes this wisdom accessible in the form of a grand epic story. The Ramayana is the story of the supreme hero--Rama--whose divine mission was to purify the world of ignorance and restore Truth and Dharma into the hearts of everyone. There have been several abridged versions but no one has ever taken the time to read and record the entire, unabridged Ramayana. This preserves the Ramayana in its pure form--as an oral tradition (as all the branches of Vedic literature were originally intended to be handed down, generation after generation). Also, this unabridged production offers a rare glimpse into Vedic civilization by including the many profound details left out of abridged versions--such as the origin of the great river Ganges, the battle between the great rishis Vishwamitra and Vasishta, and the mysteries of master architect, Maya. Here are the details: *The Ramayana translation chosen for this production is the superb rendering by renowned Indian journalist, N. Raghunathan. *The reader on Volume I is Richard Ross, a master storyteller with a beautiful voice. The reader on Volume II is the talented Shakespearean actor, Stephen White. *The producer/director is Michael Sternfeld, who has also produced a full theatrical production of the Ramayana. *Volume I of a 3-volume set contains the first two books of Ramayana: Bala and Ayodhya Kandas. Volume II contains the next three books: Aranya, Kishkindha and Sundara Kandas. Volume III (the final volume) will be released in late 2001. *Each volume looks like a treasure, bound in a beautiful custom gold case. Each set also contains an annotated guide outlining the contents of each cassette. *Retail price: Volume I--14 ninety-minute cassettes--$98 US Volume II--16 ninety-minute cassettes--$99.95 US Wholesale terms are available. *To order, call toll-free: 1-888-867-4396 (International callers: 641-472-8697), or *Visit us at our Website: www.RamayanAudio.com (online ordering available). This is sacred knowledge for a time on earth which needs the deepest inspiration to restore ''wholeness of life'. Please consider this audio production of the Ramayana for yourself and your community. With the blessings of Rama Michael Sternfd P.S.
