Presents in the much shorter compass of 3643 verses, the whole of the Sri Rama's story viewed in a spiritual setting. Here Rama is not only a great personage, an exemplar of the highest ideals of Dharma, but the very God, the Divine incarnate. Text in Sanskrit with English translation.
Let each one of us pray day and night for the downtrodden millions, who are held fast by poverty, priestcraft, and tyranny. Pray day and night for them. I care more to preach religion to them than to the high and the rich. I am no metaphysician, no philosopher, nay, no saint. But I am poor and I love the poor.
-Swami Vivekananda
