For centuries, people across India and other parts of South Asia have looked to The Ramayana for models of all kinds of human roles as they face life's vicissitudes - the perfect child, the ideal spouse, the exemplary sibling, the ace parent, the quintessential friend - to name just a few.

But the staying power of the ancient epic owes not only to its author's literary genius but more so to its intimation of the divine potential of the human spirit.

Swami Swaroopananda uses the lens of Vedanta to highlight this underlying essence and its significance for spirirtual aspirants, in this eye-opening mini treatise. Accessible and concise, The Inner Ramayana takes the lessons of the epic from the simple to the sublime.
