Jai Shri Ram! Hello, I am a young Hindu child. After reading many stories of the Ramayana on the internet, and after watching Ramanand Sagar's version of the Ramayana on video cassette, I have noticed that in the part where Shurpanaka attacks Mother Sita, Laxman cut's her nose off. (The movie version.) But after reading many other versions on the internet, it states that Laxman cut off her ears and chest, as well as her nose. If anyone can tell me what really went down, I'd appreciate it.

Thanking you,

Yours truly

HI, Conguratulations for puting the first poem ever written on the WEB This great epic should also come with translations in Hindi and English for people who do not understand Sanskrit.

Jai Jai Ram Ravi

It is a very nice web page. I always recall my Sankrit language studies with much pleasure. Although I grew up in the western civilisation, I felt a boundless spiritual complexity of the hinduistic culture while studing this stupenduous text.

Comments

I always have been and continue to advocate the cuase of Hindu customs and religion. Ramayana apart from being a religious book has an ocean of knowledge which is relevant for all days an time to come.

This site is very very informative and i liked it very much.

Me and my heart fully satisfied very informatively.

THANX @ INFINITE......

Magnificent. The ttf version of xdvng seems to work very well.

I'm a beginner and it is wonderful to have access to these texts.

My daughter is an art teacher and is interested in knowing why Rama is BLUE. I have been searching the internet for her and in doing so have found many beautiful sites while looking for the "Blue Prince."

Why is he blue??

You have a most wonderful site of a collection on all around Sri Rama and the Ramayana. I am missing still in the WEB the text or part of the Ramayana written by Sri Satya Sai Baba. This is the best Ramayana I ever got to read. Go on with your great work and thanks for setting up this site. Jay Sri Ram Ananda

This is indeed a great site for all people interested in the Ramayana. I only recently read a translation of it, but I can tell that I shall return often to this site.

Comments

I like your site.

Something that may interest you: I have just put up a web page about using Sanskrit diacritics in HTML 4.0

If you are interested please visit http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~cfynn/sanskrit.html

I would like some more instructions on insalling the xdvng fonts for the windows.

Excellent. I've never known anyone who had taken the pains to transliterate the whole Ramayana of Shri Valmiki. However, a job well done. Hope there will be also the transliterations of the Ramacharitmanas of Shri Tulasidas as well as others, i.e. Nama Ramayana by Shri Lakshmanachar.

Comments

A great service to many readers and admirers would be to take the Ramayana kanda-by-kanda and shloka-by-shloka, explaining each Sanskrit word and offering an English translation. W. Sargeant has done this with the Gita and it is indeed a gift to the West!

I've always loved Indian epics.My parents say even though I'm only eleven I can narrate the Ramayan or Mahabharat to anyone. I've read those books so many times that I've memorised the stories. Well see you later.

I've always loved Indian epics.My parents say even though I'm only eleven I can narrate the Ramayan or Mahabharat to anyone. In the Uttarakand when Sita is banished it moved me to tears. I feel like saying how hard hearted can Rama get. First he made Sita go through fire even though she was pure. Now he actually banishes her.

Visitting this site was a very nice Sunday morning blessing. Swami Chinmayananda's chanting of verses from Rig Veda thrilled me and I found myself happily chanting along! I visited the Sowmya's Bhagavad Gita page, listened to the daily verse, was amazed and grateful for the many resources about this beloved text that she has posted there.

The collection of resources about Ramayana is very satisfying. So much has been written, sung, danced, sculpted, painted, etc. from the inspiration of Valmiki Ramayana that I was surprised to find the various khandas of very manageable length. I had never had the opportunity to see the original in its entirety and plan to visit again to read it using my handy Itranslator. The pictures gave me a virtual pilgrimage to the Shiva Vishnu temple outside Washington, DC so now I know something else to go see besides the more usual tourist sites next time I am near our capital.

Thank you Shree! A very beautiful site!

Sri Rama's Grace has now blessed the Cyber-Satsangh! Everyone involved in this project deserves the Satsnghis' gratitude and kudos. Two individuals who are too shy and modest to admit their Bhagiratha (='Herculean') efforts to make this possible, are Shree Devi Kumar and Nandu Abhyankar. Our sincerest best wishes for their continued success.

I am impressed by this web site. I esp. like your collection of stotras, I was wondering if you could also include the significance/interpretations of the stotras?

Comments

By Lord Rama's Grace, I happened to visit this site and I am thrilled to view Sri Ramayana in cyberspace proving to everybody HE IS EVERYWHERE AND HIS STORY PERVADES ALL SPACES. The web pages have been designed well. Thanks to those who worked hard to make this possible.

Comments

What a brilliant page! God gave us life, intellect & efficiency - but most of that goes down the drain in "Eat, Drink & Be Merry". Hardly do we come accross some noble work like Ramayan. And hardly do we come accross a web site to bring it to the webfolks. Thanks a lot for such a mammoth effort. God's blessings are always with those who try to serve the mankind. Shree Raam!

Enjoyed sampling thru this page. Will do as often as I can. One observation regarding the map of modern Indian States:I don't know where you got that map but you show part of J&K under Pakistani occupation as part of that country.

As one who was introduced to Srimad Valmiki Ramayanam at an young age of 11 by my late father, I am thrilled to see it shining in the WWW! Of all the cantos, Srimad Ayodhya Kandam is the most poetically beautiful! It is difficult to read this canto without shedding tears! The sage poet uses his power of narration and fluency of poetry so deftly that one is tempted to read the canto again and again and again!

This website is so tastefully created that it is like visiting pampa saras! A. Natarajan, 22 Kenneth Drive, Ocean, NJ 07712

Dear Shree@usa.net

  I heard about this home-page of the RAmAyaNa from Prof. Michio Yano of Kyoto Sangyo University. The pages are beautifully styled.and my contribution to the files is stated in THANKS. So far there is no problem.

But I ask you to make it clear with the following statement in the beginning of your THANKS: These pages were not possible without Prof. Tokunaga's monumental effort in encoding the whole RAmAyaNa of the Baroda Critical Edition. (thus, don't forget to mention the acknowlegement to contribution of the Baroda Oriental Institute, too)

  Sincerely YOurs,
