Ramayana is an ancient Indian epic written sometime in the fifth century BCE about Rama, prince of Ayodhya who is exiled and then returns.
The sage Valmiki wrote it in Sanskrit and taught it to Rama's sons, the twins Lava and Kush.
It is a rather long poem, with approximately 24000 verses and is known as the Adi Kavya.
(adi = original, first; kavya=poem) While the basic story is about palace politics and battles with demon tribes, the narrative is interspersed with philosophy, ethics, and notes on duty.
This book states most of the facts that people are oblivious of.

The seeker of Truth
Hello everyone! I had always wanted to write a historical tale based in ancient India, also known as Bharatavarsh. The period in which this story is set is somewhere around the Vedic Era (1500-1000 BCE), which is the period when the Vedas (the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism) were composed. To maintain the authenticity of the story, some words and terminologies will be used from traditional languages. Please give your valuable feedback and let me know what you think of this story.Complete
The Journey of Learning

The Inseparable Princes
Ramayana. An Indian epic that has lived through the centuries and has only grown even more in the process. An epic that shows ideal characters, many of whom we worship, and other characters from whom we learn what we shouldn't be at any cost. But one thing that has been a constant for many centuries now is the examples we give, referring to the epic. One of the most popular ones being "Be a brother like Rama." Not only is the Ramayana an enchanting tale of love and devotion, but it's also an equally magical example of brotherhood and affection. Brothers who stood with each other through thick and thin. Brothers who would readily sacrifice their life for the other. Brothers who would love the other, and support him when nobody else did. This book brings to you the Ramayana, but this time, the limelight is on the inseparable brothers. *** Disclaimer: Please do not read this book if you do not like humanization of deities. However, I can assure you that ALL relationships in this book are shown the way they're meant to be - no non-canon shipping. I can also assure you, that since I myself am a devotee of Shri Rama, that you will never have me intentionally writing anything against him, his real nature - the same goes for the others - Sita, Lakshmana, Urmila, Bharata, Mandavi, Shatrughna, Shrutakeerti, Dasharatha, the mothers... All of them will always get their due respect in this book. Secondly, I've followed the Valmiki Ramayana throughout. Some incidents may be revelations, as quite a few things are contrary to popular perception and other versions. Thank you!

Aaradhya, the word which defines someone worth of being adored and worshipped. The love we possess towards them would be pure as crystal. Love attains the stage of madness, dripping into the heartbeat and breath completely only when we learn to worship it, worshiping it with all our heart without any expectations. Love then becomes Aaradhana and the person who brought that love into our lives will be the Aaradhya, the special one. This book is dedicated to Abhirohi, my favourite duo in Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai universe. Both are Equal in everything, wheather it's attitude or knowledge, grace or fun etc. I personally adored their bonding after the leap and deeply felt they deserved a good ending. Hence this book is a work of Fanfiction based on Abhimanyu and Aarohi and their journey from literally understanding each other to staying together. Aaradhya: A Tale of Love Rekindled is a story of second chances-not just in love, but in life. It explores the delicate balance between pain and hope, the power of forgiveness, and the courage it takes to embrace vulnerability. This is their story-a story of love reborn from the ashes of despair. Hope you all like my first attempt to write about them and shower your love on them like always. Thanking you Yours Vatsu ❤️❤️❤️Complete
