"Meditate on the long-armed Sri Ramachandra,
Vanamali is a unique writer. She brings to life the story of the Ramayana in a readable form.

 

She never forgets that this is a religious story, the story of one of the avatars of Vishnu, but she shows her religious feelings in a way that should not offend followers of other faiths.

 

Who is cloud blue in color, has matted hair,
And is adorned with all accouterments.
Who wears the yellow clothes and is holding,
The bow and arrow and is sitting in a lotus pose.
His lotus petal eyes are turned to the left,
And are gazing at the lotus face of Sita."

 

The beauty of this book is that it is written by one who has great love and devotion for Sri Rama. It touches some subtle chords in the

readers heart and makes him ecstatic. The more we read it, the more devotion we develop".
