El Ramayana es un libro de la India antigua —se cree que sus orígenes se remontan al siglo IV a.C.— que forma parte de los smiriti hindúes (textos no aportados directamente por Dios, sino transmitidos por la tradición)

Ramayana a historic epos about the life of Sri Rama, an masterpiece full of msantra vedic history the source to moksha or spiritual freedom and out the wheel of birht and death

Great read for the casual reader of mythology. I understand the unedited Ramayana is much longer, on the scale of Arabian Nights. Fast paced action and excitement, how can you go wrong?
