Black and White edition of A Son, a Prince, a Husband, a King: Ramayan - an Interpretation. This book was highly commended on television by the President of The National Council of Hindu Temples UK (NCHTUK) Mr. B.M. Gupta in Jan 2012). In October 2011 an Abridged version was serialised over nine days on BBC Asian Network radio station to celebrate the festival of Navratri. Mr Ashwini Mahli from BBC Asian Network quoted: "This is an easy-to-follow, epic tale of the epitome of Raam's life that gives insight and guidance on how to lead a virtuous life. Jiotty Kaushal has illustrated that the morals and principles practiced thousands of years ago have the same value, even today." The Ramayan is a Hindu religious text and one of India's greatest epics. The original, written thousands of years ago by Valmeeki, has influenced and inspired generation after generation. The story revolves around a divine prince called Raam and follows his life. In his youth, Raam is a dutiful son fulfilling his father's ill-thought promise; to accept banishment for fourteen years. In exile, he is the noble prince; combating and defeating the evil demons (Asura) that tormented the good people. When his beautiful wife (Seeta) is taken captive by the demon King Raavan, Raam is the unstoppable husband who overcomes every obstacle to claim her back. Finally, as king, Raam is unwavering in his duty despite the cost. Raam is described as "maryada purushottam" - the perfect man. This point is key to this version of the Ramayan. Written in poetic verse this adaptation is engaging and accessible to both adults and older children. This book draws you into a distant magical world.
