The Ramayana Was Meant To Be Heard

[Guest guest]

Dear Samratchana Group Members,

 

 

I have 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 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 WAS MEANT TO BE HEARD!

 

NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON AUDIO CASSETTE

A full dramatic reading in English of the unabridged

Ramayana of Valmiki

 

Now you and your family can listen to the Ramayana--the embodiment of

Indian traditions and Sanatana Dharma. A most precious way to

preserve the cherished values and wisdom of Indian life.

 

" The story of Rama, which touches on the delights of love and

expounds on the fruits of Dharma, is rich with gems like the ocean

and ravishes all hearts and ears. "

--Ramayana

 

The Ramayana was originally part of the great oral tradition of

Indian knowledge. There seems to be greater power, authenticity, and

aliveness in listening to Rama's epic tale in this original oral

form.

This audio production also features the unabridged Ramayana

containing all the beautiful sories-within-the story often left out

of the abridged versions, such as the origin of the great river

Ganges, the secrets of master architect Maya, and the extraordinary

battle between the great sages Vasishta and Vishwamitra. You'll gain

a glimpse into the richness of ancient life in Rama's golden age, so

inspiring still today.

There are many other blessings from hearing the Ramayana...

 

*With your children growing up fast in American culture, cherished

traditional values can be lost in one short generation. What better

way to instill awareness of the deepest values of Indian life than by

listening to the Ramayana with your whole family.

*To inspire you in your profession or business, listening to the

Ramayana is also profound. Rama--the embodiment of the ideal

rulership--offers great modern insights into true leadership and

personal power.

*Turn your daily commute into an adventure by listening to Rama's

great adventure as you drive.

*This production of the Ramayana is beautifully packaged in a custom

gold case, making it a winning gift. Each set also includes an

annotated guide outlining the contents of each cassette. This

enables you to pick out special chapters for special occasions or

desires. For example, to enrich a marriage, listen to the marriage

of Rama and Sita, or to cultivate important partnerships, listen to

Rama's devoted partnership with Hanuman. Many sections of the

Ramayana are purported to yield various auspicious results such as

these.

 

I promise you that these Ramayana audio tapes will be a most

special Holiday gift to yourself, your family, or anyone who desires

the inspiration of the world's most enlightening hero--Rama.

 

Sincerely,

 

Michael Sternfeld, Producer
