This book, authored by Sri Anna N. Subramanian, the well-known author and translator, explains the concept and the different kinds of Tapas as described in the Valmiki Ramayana. This book will help the readers to understand the idea of tapas and dharma as embodied in the lives of great Avatars, and help them to incorporate in their own lives.
We cannot see outside what we are not inside. The universe is to us what the huge engine is to the miniature engine; and indication of any error in the tiny engine leads us to imagine trouble in the huge one.
-Swami Vivekananda
