Shri Ramacharitamanasa of Tulasidasa

Keeping in mind people's ever-increasing quest for the epic, this unique edition of the Ramacharitamanasa with verse-to-verse Hindi and English translations along with Tulsidasa's original text has been prepared. The translation rendered by an accomplished scholar maintains the intrinsic richness of the original. Special care has been taken for making it useful to the Indian brethren living abroad to whom the dialect of Tulsidasa's original may be somewhat incomprehensible. There has been a long-standing demand from the vast Indian community settled abroad for a standard and authentic edition of the Ramacharitamanasa. The present edition has been designed to meet their requirement by using the most modern printing and processing techniques to make it a work of an international standard. A special feature of this edition is the inclusion of Lavakushakanda, Shri Hanuman Chalisa, and Shri Ramashalaka Prashnavali. The mode of its recitation is given as a separate appendix. Adding to its uniqueness is the inclusion of an important section containing Indian, European, and American scholars' criticisms of Tulsidasa's Ramacharitamanasa. A glossary of important proper nouns and epithets is given at the end.
