The Ramayana by Valmiki, the "Adhi kavi" remains a vibrating living force in the lives of all us Indian people. He who brought the language of the Gods into the world of men with such mellifluous simplicity to edify and ennoble the reader, an illustrious bard who immortalized himself by his immortal work! Radhe Radhe!

In the 1 (Rupee) series booklet - "Sri Ramachandra" - a book that is to be savored as much as for the felicity of the language as for the profundity of thought and the depth of analysis it offers, such a masterpiece in English cannot be heard of in these days, such language speakers are not there and neither are the people who can understand this language - says Dr Brahmashri Sri Sundarkumar, the epitome of knowledge, the goddess Saraswathi dwells in himself. 

Here is explained Valmiki's poetic heights as told by Brahmashri Sundarkumar Bhagavathar with an explanation from Sri Sankaranarayanan commemorative speech!

"An exemplar of simple living and noble thinking when the biography of such a one is read in the record of mellifluent simplicity, in which, word and meaning are in such perfect harmony with each other that the divine spirit derives to dwell within their confines to edify and ennoble the reader. One willingly pays once again the tribute of joyful gratitude to the illustrious bard who has immortalized himself by his immortal work. The rapturous language of the great poet invests the rosy petals of Sri Ramachandra's life with an ethereal fragrance wafted through the centuries by the dulcet breath of accordance, chords that set the fathers story to marvelous music at their fathers sacrificial court, that music still rings in humanity's ears, thrilling the mind and delighting the heart". Sublime in his thoughts, yet simple in their expression, its sweet cadences invite the novice in the sacred tongue to lisp his members with a rare delight and soon beguile him to the mastery of the language equal only by the transport of the spirit that accompanies such perfection!"
