Countless ages ago, when men and animals could speak together and powerful brahmanas could effect miracles, the uncontrollable King Ravana was terrorizing the universe. The Ramayana records the adventure of Rama, the Lord of righteousness, as He struggles to overcome the forces of Ravana. This absorbing naration has delighted and enlightened countless generations in India, and its timeless spiritual insights are compellingly relevant in today's confused world.

His Holiness Bhakti Vikasa Swami was born in Britain in 1957 and joined ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) in London in 1975. Later that year, he was formally accepted as a disciple of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, the founder-ācārya of ISKCON, and renamed Ilāpati Dāsa.

From 1977 to 1979, Ilāpati Dāsa was based in India, mostly traveling in West Bengal distributing Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books. He spent the following ten years helping to pioneer ISKCON’s preaching in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand.

In 1989 he was granted the order of sannyāsa, receiving the name Bhakti Vikāsa Swami, and again made his base in India. Since then he has preached Kṛṣṇa consciousness throughout the subcontinent, lecturing in English, Hindi, and Bengali. He also spends a few months each year preaching in the West. His television lectures in Hindi have reached millions worldwide.

Bhakti Vikāsa Swami writes extensively on Kṛṣṇa conscious topics. His books have been translated into over twenty languages, with one and a half million in print.

He is also involved in developing several gurukulas and also Vedic rural projects based on simple living and high thinking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute pleasure to read Ramayana (as it is)
Reviewed in India on 17 August 2017
Stumbled upon this edition of the Ramayana, was intrigued when it said that it's the translation of Valmiki Ramayana (many times it's the author who is imposing his views via the medium of Ramayana) however this book is actually a word by word account of Ramayana as it was recorded by the original author Valmiki.. There is no speculation or any random hypothesis being floated around... Just the pure Ramayana being given in English, will surely delight any fan of this most amazing scripture... Thanks a lot to the people behind this effort 👍🙏

3.0 out of 5 stars This is not Valmiki Ramayana
Reviewed in India on 5 June 2020
This book is a decent read and short one (7 hrs). Loved the illustrations and the simple language. But then it is hardly Valmiki Ramayan. The narration contains many (intersting) incidents which are not present in the Original. It would have been nice if the different sources were mentioned.

Immense masterpiece. It make you cry and smile and you can't stop reading it. I suggest it as it has Srila Prabhupada comments which give the right perspective on how it is important for all to know the glories of Ramachandra, Sita and Laksmana.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful edition
Reviewed in the United States on 14 June 2014

This edition is wonderful--easy and engaging to read. For most of the book, one will find just the basic Ramayana story, and not all the "side stories" that are in the full Ramayana. However, towards the end this book contains a number of those additional stories. This edition is almost identical to one published by Purnaprajna dasa. Indeed, this book is really his edition with some slight editing and small sections inserted. If you choose one, I would suggest you choose this one as it's a bit more polished.

An excellent read for anyone wanting to relish the Ramayana.

5.0 out of 5 stars So grateful for this Ramayana
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2014
Verified Purchase
This is the original Valmiki Ramayana. I am so grateful to have been able to read this version. It is the best by far in all the other English versions and translations out there. Bhakti Vikasa Swami has done an amazing job. It captured the true essence of Ramayana. Many people who have read the Ramayana before have doubts that why did Lord Rama do this, Why did He leave Sita and so on, but after reading this all doubts will be cleared. I always knew that Ramayana is a very important and valuable literature and after reading this, I know why. I wish to read it again and again. I feel I am able to understand Lord Rama and Sita so much better now and why they did what they did. Ramayana itself is a treasure for the human society and everyone will benefit from reading it.
