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.
By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands now, we make ourselves stronger; and improving our strength in this manner step by step, we may reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and in society.
-Swami Vivekananda
