Shri Ram Charitmanas by Goswami Tulsidas (Set of 8 Vols) | श्रीरामचरितमानस

Ramcharitmanas by Goswami Tulsidas is a highly revered and the holiest of all the versions of the divine Story of Lord Ram, universally known as the Ramayana. It derives its unique value of holiness, divinity and authenticity primarily because it was first conceived by Lord Shiva during his meditation, and subsequently revealed to goddess Parvati; from there it came down to us orally through a chain of exalted sages such as Kaagbhusund, Yagyawalkya and Bharadwaj, and finally, to our good fortune, in the form of a 'written word' by Tulsidas who himself heard it from his guru. The 'written version' of Lord Ram's divine story ensured that it retained its original purity, authenticity, pristine beauty and charm, without being subjected to tweaking, interpolation or distortion of any kind in times to come. The present edition examines the entire text of Ramcharitmanas in a fine, detailed commentary presented in a comprehensive and analytical way, using a lot of references and detailed explanations to make the reader acquire an in-depth and wide-angle knowledge of this magnificent book that is soaked in the sweet nectar of Bhakti for Lord Ram, the Supreme Being who came down to live among us to bless all creatures of this world personally, as well as to set an example of a life marked by the virtues of righteousness, probity, propriety, morality and goodness. The English language would enable this Gem-of-a-Book to be easily accessible to and readable by the world at large, overcoming the inherent obstacle of the vernacular language that may have prevented its spread and reach amongst the readers of the world who would now be able to enjoy the pleasure and the sweetness that comes by enabling the soul to interact with the divinity in a subtle way by reading a Holy Book dedicated to Lord Ram.
