The Ramacharitamanas demonstrates how to live life, and every chaupai is a precious pearl guiding us on our individual journey of life. The story of the Ramayana has been depicted in films, plays, books, dance and other art forms — all these are indeed commendable. However, what distinguishes these discourses from the other works, is the effortless blending of Jnana and Bhakti, weaving in stories, analogies and humour.

The Ramacharitamanas is a practical life manual for every individual at every stage and station of life. It will therefore inspire many to start trying to live their lives in a more dharmic way – serving the community, the nation and the world.

The screening of the talks on a national network that reaches every village, town and city in India, has the potential to transform the spiritual landscape of our country. This is truly a befitting kick off to our celebrations in the lead up to the 75th year of the Chinmaya Movement. Adding to the significance, the launch of the series coincides with the Aradhana Day of Param Guru Swami Tapovanji Maharaj, making this occasion even more auspicious and special.
