Ramayan and Ram Charit Manas <\/strong>The Ramayana is an epic poem which was first written from memory (smriti<\/em>)\u00a0\u00a0 by sage Valmiki in the Sanskrit language. Many years later, Goswami\u00a0\u00a0 Tulsidas, born in the 16th century, wrote the Ramcharitamanas (a\u00a0\u00a0 dfferent verson of the Ramayana written in Avadhi Hindi), which is the\u00a0\u00a0 scripture used as a basis by Morari Bapu in his kathas.<\/p>\n

Through Asia, the Ramayana has served not only as poetry, but as the\u00a0\u00a0 ideal of life and embodiment of principles, as the basis for festivals,\u00a0\u00a0 plays and rituals, as the foundation for religion, and as an eternal\u00a0\u00a0 tale of love and duty.<\/p>\n

The Ramcharitmanasa is broken up into stanzas called chaupais, passages\u00a0\u00a0 of which are interposed with dohas or couplets. It is filled with\u00a0\u00a0 exquisite poetry and consists of seven chapters: Bal Kand, Ayodhya Kand,\u00a0Aranya Kand, Kiskindha Kand, Sundar Kand, Lanka Kand and Uttar Kand.<\/p>\n

All these sections cover the different periods of Lord Rama’s life,\u00a0\u00a0 taking us right from his boyhood, through his exile and his life in the\u00a0\u00a0 forest, to the abduction of Sita, the war which follows in Lanka and\u00a0finally, what happens after the recovery of his wife. Preceding these\u00a0\u00a0 seven sections, the story of Lord Shiva has also been narrated in the form of a prologue to Ram’s story.<\/p>\n
