The Beauty of the Story Would Have Fascinated Anyone

posted in: English, Kadacha ENG 0

I had always dreamed of recounting the Ramayana in a simple book, within everyone’s reach, sure, as I still am, that the beauty of the story would have fascinated anyone. I heard the Ramayana – and the Maha-bharata, another of the most important Indian poems – for the first time when I was eighteen. I was so enthusiastic about it that for many years I have cherished the desire to write short stories drawn from that literature, and not only from the Ramayana or the Maha-bharata, but also from other ancient texts, such as the Puranas. All the Vedic Itihasas – the storybooks – are so fascinating that no man can resist the temptation to read them and even to reread them.
