We have been pleasantly surprised at the volume of comments we have been receiving. We got these from different parts of the world and from people of different faiths. It just is an indicator of the immense appeal of Valmiki's Ramayana, an immortal tale.

Namaste,

Many thanks for embarking on a worthy endeavour of

putting the Valmiki Ramayana with meaning and comments

on the Web.

I have a suggestion on behalf of unix users. It would

be nice if you could also use dynamic fonts (Sans98.pfr

can be created easily using Bitstream's WebFontMaker

software) so that unix users can also read the Ramayana

in Sanskrit Font with meaning using Netscape Navigator.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment from web master : Above is an extremely good suggestion. We would really appreciate if someone could spare some time and provide us with the needed dynamic fonts. The effort will be duly appreciated at our web site.

Dear Sir:

We plan to organize 24-hours Ramayana Paath at our place and needs some advice in planning.

(1) Can all seven chapters (including last chapter 7 - Uttarkand) of Ram Charit Manas be completed in 24-hours time?

(2) Sometime, it is difficult to maintain a proper speed to complete the whole reading in 24-hours. If after 23.5-hours, we are still half way in chapter 7 - Can we finish there? Or skip few pages and go to very end to finish it?

We like to have some contingency plans, and your advice will help us planning the Paath. Thanks,

Ram Gupta

I am interested in Rudyard Kipling's "Just So" stories, and curious about the literary genre in which they are written. I suspect it is a form of etioligical narrative peculiar to South East Asia, and probably India - How the Camel got his Hump, How the Leopard got his Spots etc. - and would be grateful if anyone can throw light on the characteristics and provenance of this literary genre. I would be most grateful. My e-mail no is above.

you have really done a great job! I was glad to find
at least one site which gives a decent english translation
of the ramayana. I needed to refer the original for a
term paper in a course on the ramayana,based on rajaji's
abridged ramayana. Such sites are a boon for both
researchers and the curious alike. it would be very
helpful if the entire translation were available in
one place .

(comments)  This is good because I've been curious about the Ramayana. The first time I found out about the poem was in Fifth grade when I read a children's version in a myth and legends book for children. I didn't know it was called the ramayana until I read a synoposis of it and it brought back the story that I actually read several times. I discovered the length of the poem is four times the Iliad and Odyssey combined. I guess that's the reason it is usually retold.

  I was very glad to see the wonderful site you are preparing. You have done all the
right things in providing a pleasing and convenient format and it should be very
useful. Since you asked for "critical" comments, I went thru the material,
randomly selecting and analyzing the verses. I have enclosed my comments in a word
document - attached.  I hope its format survives and that you can read it. If
there is a problem, let me know and I will try some other format. I have picked on Sanskrit grammar as well as other constructions, please take it
as a well meaning constructive criticism. I don't think I know you and I don't
want you to feel unhappy with my criticisms. I wish you good luck and godspeed in finishing this monumental task!

WOW !
This is a wonderful site and I applaud your pains in getting it there.
This is an excellent site and I can only say that it is an excellent resource for us all. I would like to invite you to my sites, http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/2425/
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7830/ The first one is on Krishna and the second one has several articles including on Shri Rama in the Anta Puram section. Look forward to communicating with you.
  Yours,
Bhagwat

(comments) Your description of the elements of the nataraja
was one of the best I have seen yet. The image seems
to facinate me lately. There seems to be so much
symbolism involved in the image. Thanks for the information. PS. I would appreciate any references you might have
as far as further reading on its symbolism. MB
