Ramayana (Grapevine) – Swami Vivekananda

The greatest Indian epic!

The Ramayana is a renowned Indian epic and one of the oldest dramas in history. It is the central scriptural writing in Hinduism, with a deep moral and historical context.

The Ramayana, written by sage Valmiki, provides an account of the story of Ram, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. At his father’s request, Rama spent fourteen years in exile with his wife Sita. Sita was kidnapped by the demon king Ravana, leading to a great and furious battle.

The Ramayana teaches that each one is responsible for their actions. Rama’s final victory underscores an important lesson that the truth always prevails over evil.
