Dr. Srilakshmi Adhyapak recreates one of the world's greatest literary legacies in her book "Ramayana and Other Poems" (published by Partridge India). Indian mythology, culture and history seamlessly weave together in this poetic reinterpretation of the Ramayana. This book, first published in October 2013, will be launched in a new marketing campaign.
"Ramayana and Other Poems" is a beautiful collection of poems that brings the story of India's great epic Ramayana in wonderfully woven poetic verses. It tells the story of Prince Ram who, in abject obedience to his father, abdicates the throne in favour of his younger sibling and lives in the forests for 14 years. Adhyapak's poems let readers follow Prince Ram's struggles, sacrifices and eventual triumph.
The book's narrative style is visually impacting and charts the journey of Ramayana in a mesmerising way. There are other poems that depict the beauty of nature and also touch upon some divine aspects of existence.
Compelling, unforgettable and beautifully told, "Ramayana and Other Poems" is a glimpse into the rich tradition and culture of India and a celebration of one of its most enduring stories. Adhyapak hopes that her work will impart lessons of truth, honesty, loyalty and virtue to readers.
