Story
Ramayana must rank as one of the most loved and revered books of all time. A part of India's ancient Vedas, it is a beautiful story of romance and adventure. It recounts the history of Rama, said be an incarnation of the Godhead, and his divine consort Sita. Filled with magic and mysticism, it entrances the listener and stirs deeply moving emotions. At the same time its profound spiritual messages leave one feeling uplifted and enriched. This is a novelization of the classic. It contains all the essential narrative of the original Sanskrit poem.

Story
These 1028 poems, grouped as 10 ‘Circles’ (mandalas), have variously been called hymns, poems or songs by Sanskrit scholars. The Rik (so pronounced by the ancient Angirases clans, or Seer-Priest families) was an experiment with sound. The emphasis is always on sounding the words perfectly. The focus tends to be on the ideas rather than on the authors in Vedic literature, they are largely religious in nature, reflecting the world view and spiritual preoccupations of ancient India.

The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. It is of immense importance to the culture of the Indian subcontinent and is a major text of Hinduism. Its discussion of human goals (artha or 'purpose', kama or 'pleasure', dharma or 'duty' and moksha or 'liberation') takes place in a long-standing tradition, attempting to explain the relationship of the individual to society and the world (the nature of the 'self') and the workings of karma.

Krishna is like Jesus
The reading, though disciplined, is no great performance. It well may be the greatest spiritual epic of all A’s it has more battle scenes than The Iliad, more vindictive murders than a Greek tragedy, and more preaching or life coaching than the Koran or Bible. At the end I wasn’t sure if Krishna was not rightly censured (and actually cursed by Duriodun’s mum) for his double dealing.

Many parts seem to b made up
- Arjuna tells Krishna, have no fear. iwill slay Karna.
why would he say this to the Lord himself.
- Pandvas havebeenportrayed as way more powerful than Kauravas.
- Bhima was a mace fighter but in some instances, he hasbeen portrayedas more skilled Archer than Karna and Arjuna
this story has many flaws.

A lost opportunity
For someone who is new to Indian culture, the story of Mahabharate is amazing. It is many, many times longer than the Bible, and so this version is an abbreviated version. The kindle edition differs from the audible edition, so trying to jump over the differences can be frustrating if one is listening and reading at the same time Also, the narrator is clearly not a professional voice actor. He has a deep, soothing voice, which tends to send one to sleep, rather than engage the listener. Such a shame, as it is an amazing work of literature.

Couldn't stand the performance for more than 2 min
I have listened to hundreds of hours of audiobooks but this is the first time I've had to quit due to the narrator. The story is a classic and I'm sure a good read but the sound of clicks and swishing spittle made it unlistenable for me. I strongly advise trying the sample before purchasing
