Maharishi Ved Vyas's Mahabharata and Valmiki's Ramayana are two such epics, no one knows when they were written. The calculation of two to four thousand years also seems less while telling their period. That is why they represent the Sanatan culture of India. The story of Mahabharata is of the victory of Dharma over Adharma in the war.
There is war in Ramayana too, but it is not at its center. At the heart of Ramayana is the limit. limit of conduct. Maharishi Valmiki wrote the original story of Maryada Purushottam Rama in Treta Yuga when Brahmadev blessed Valmiki and said that 'not a single word of the story you tell will be untrue and as long as the mountains stand on the earth and the rivers will flow, that The story will be there.
In different periods, people have been telling the story of Ram from their own perspectives. It is this incomparable Indian intellect, which keeps the original truth safe and presents the old saga in a new form. That is why we have been listening to and reading Ramkatha from different perspectives and perceptions.
Management expert Ami Ganatra has tried to keep Valmiki's Ramayana in its original form in his new book 'Ramayan Unrevealed instead of retelling the Ramayana in new contexts. Earlier she has written 'Mahabharat Unraveled' on the epic of Vedavyasa.
The character of Rama in Ramayana is in many roles like son, brother, husband, friend, and king. Rama performs every role of dharma, or rather of duty, in such a way that dignity becomes the best. In 'Ramayana Unreveled', published from 'Bloomsbury', the author rightly says - 'Rama is a symbol of self-restraint, love, sensitivity, and generosity, even in extremely challenging circumstances, whose story teaches the effort of Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.
"Ganatra's writings are characterized by the same devotion and reverence as is found in the publications of 'GitaPress'. In his view 'Ramayan is not just a story, it is our history. Returning again to the original Ramayana. She says that 'it is necessary to return to the saga told by Valmiki so that we can have a better idea of the characters of the Ramayana because religion is the foundation that sustains a society.'
We know as much about the Ramayana as we have read or heard in its retellings or "interpretations". But in her book, she does not do a scientific analysis of the history of Valmiki Ramayana, only simplifies it and gives a piece of broad information about the story and characters of the original book.
Writer Ganatra has done a favor to the new generation of India rising on the ladder of economic success, which has no memory of the history of its Sanatan culture and whose knowledge of Ramayana is limited to the glimpse that it gets from multimedia or comics on the digital platform. It has awakened in them the memory of the splendor of their history.
