Dear Laya Yoga Chakras Group Members,

 

I'm a new member of your group and I want to let you know about a new free

Internet broadcast of the complete Ramayana that just started on YogaSpirit.com.

This broadcast features an audio production of the unabridged Ramayana of

Valmiki in English recently produced by a friend of mine, Michael Sternfeld of

Vedic Audio Knowledge (VAK).

 

Here are all the details:

 

THE RAMAYANA IS IN THE AIR:

The Timeless Epic Now on Internet Radio

 

Who is the greatest hero? To answer this question, you would have to go back to

the very first heroic quest--a most profound epic story from ancient India

called the Ramayana. Listeners can now tune in and listen to this enlightening

epic on Yoga Spirit Radio in a series of weekly one-hour Internet broadcasts of

the entire Ramayana beginning Sunday April 22. The broadcasts are free and can

be found at http://www.YogaSpirit.com.

 

Yoga Spirit is an Internet portal offering educational programs to the yoga

community worldwide, and is honored to present the first Internet broadcast of

the complete Ramayana. This 75-hour audio production --the world's longest

audio book-- is a dramatic presentation in English of the unabridged Ramayana of

Valmiki. Created over seven years by Michael Sternfeld and Vedic Audio

Knowledge, this production was honored as the " 2004 Outstanding Project of the

Year " by Humanities Iowa and the National Endowment for the Humanities:

The Ramayana has been compared to the Bible, Star Wars and Romeo and Juliet all

rolled into one. Revered by more than one billion people worldwide as the most

sacred of stories, the Ramayana not only has its roots as the national treasure

of India and Southeast Asia, but has also emerged as one of the great classics

of world literature in the West. This production, which has just been newly

released in a digital format, marks the first time that the complete unabridged

Ramayana is available in its original form--as an oral tradition--for Western

listeners to enjoy.

 

The Ramayana is the epic tale of the enlightened hero Rama and his divine quest

to purify the world of ignorance. Along the way, Rama is united with his

beloved wife Sita, encounters separation from love, and finally overcomes these

challenges, transforming the world. More than just great literature, the

Ramayana is a " living myth " , which magically comes alive in one's awareness,

purifying heart and mind and inspiring all to live at the most profound level of

life.

 

Deborah Rubin, of Yoga Spirit Radio says, " We are pleased to offer the

Ramayana's teachings of the ancient sages and their universal lessons on love,

morality, karma and societal duties which still apply today " . She also notes,

" Yoga Spirit chose Sunday to issue each new episode as it is a family day when

discussion about the Ramayana's important themes can occur " . The

producer/director, Michael Sternfeld, added, " There's an old saying that as a

story is told, so it happens. My personal experience is that when listening to

Rama's epic tale, life shifts to this profound level where emotions are rich,

love runs deep, and truth conquers all. "

 

To enjoy the great epic saga of the Ramayana, tune in to Yoga Spirit Radio on

Sunday, April 22, for a special one-hour Internet broadcast available anytime

during the day, and then every Sunday for the next 75 weeks. The streaming audio

of each Sunday's new episode is also available anytime during the week and will

be archived for those who missed an episode.
