Description
Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj’s main purpose in life is to serve aspiring souls and humanity, and one of the forms it has taken has been the production of over three hundred books on almost all aspects of religion and culture of India.
Sri Swamiji has rightly called the Ramayana as being Dharma in theory and practice. IT has influenced and moulded Indian life and thought for hundreds of years and is still a living force in the inner depths of Indian consciousness.
