Nama Ramayana
Nama Ramayana
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
A devout Hindu believes that if he reads Ramayana (story of Rama) daily, he would be nearing his God. He also would like to meditate on the name ‘Rama’, so that all his sins are washed off. Nama Ramayana is the story of Rama written for this purpose. Apart from condensing the story, it helps the devotees to meditate on the different sterling aspects of Rama. Here is a translation in English to help the devotees to do just that.
