In this book, author tried to compare the mainstream of today’s
modern day life with the life and condition which is explained in the epic –Ramayana.
Kudos to author for how well he narrated the part of Ram exile and connected it
with the way and thoughts of great Valmiki to today’s world scenarios and how
it still has its own part to play. It is so interesting to relate the part of
our lives with the Lord Ram’s life that problems are part of life and solutions
are everywhere, what matter is how you find it and execute it.
The book revolves around the life of many - Rama, Dasratha,
Kekeyi, Bharat, Laxman and other so many characters. It highlights the drama of
Rama's exile. The simplicity of Rama's life is being brought out largely in the
book which simply personifies his character and image. The books is well narrated,
it is easy to grasp and compare to the present situations and scenarios of
life. The best part of the book is that it links and teaches the mythology by
relating concepts from Ramayana by applying them to the dealings and schedules
of the life of recent times. It closely brings out the relations and
associations of man's life and the hurdles and complexity which develops in
this relational web.
This book has lot to offer , reading this make one realize
that not only work or money is to be managed but management of life and
relations in a simple , sensitive and meaningful way is outmost necessity . It
also focus on the necessity of optimism and mental stability in terms of taking
decisions which can have a huge impact in all lives.
The footnotes in the book enlighten and enthuse one with the
solutions of lots of questions and doubts that come up in the connection of
one's life by providing an insight through the quotes and lessons. The lessons
of relationships, trust, faith, discipline, rules, regulations, forgiveness,
obedience, amongst the whole list of morals and life's values.
I think author has done complete justice to the great epic
Ramayana by detailing the characters and bringing out their relevance in
present scenario. And the title is completely justified and it is truly a
journey about a game of shattered dreams which turned out to be beautiful saga
named - Ramayana.
