The Ramayana

The Ramayana (Story of God) is a sacred epic that has inspired and instructed millions of Hindu worshipers for over 2,400 years. In this lively telling by Bo Lozoff (the founder of the Prison Ashram Project), we gain a new interpretation of this "crest-jewel of ancient India" relevant to our times. In a golden past, Lozoff begins, the world is overcome by Ravana, an evil and unconquerable warrior who threatens the fate of the earth. God shows his love for humanity by taking form as the hero Rama, storming Ravana’s fortress of evil and re-establishing the flow of goodness on the earth. The Ramayana is part doctrine, part drama, and entirely fascinating. "One of the most remarkable productions in the history of religion." – A.C. Bouquet, Cambridge University. How to see God in all people; how to unite devotion with action; what the relationships are between the Ramayana and the story of Christ; and much more.
