really enjoyed listening to this new audio production of the Ramayana. The

company that produces it does so as essentially a non-profit service. I thought

you would like to hear about it, too. You can contact the producer directly by

email at ram (AT) kdsi (DOT) net or visit their website at http://www.RamayanAudio.com

(and you can hear audio samples of the audio Ramayana on the website).Here's

the information:THE RAMAYANA--THE SACRED STORY FOR ENLIGHTENED LIFEThe Great

Epic of Vedic Literature is Now Available on Audio CassetteFor information,

please visit our web site at:http://www.RamayanAudio.com (Online audio samples

available)orRead 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 2002.*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 USVolume

II--16 ninety-minute cassettes--$99.95 USWholesale terms are available.*To

gold-bound set will feel blessed by its power and influence in their lives. A
