Sri Ramacharitamanasa With Hindi Text and English Translation # 456

Though the listed Indian price is Rupees 180 and I paid much more in USD, I truly believe this book is priceless. I didn't paying what I did.I have read publications from Gita Press, Gorakhpur since I was a kid! This version of Ram Charitmanas has the slokams in Hindi with English translation for each.Generally, it is difficult to capture the spirit of the slokam and make the words mean and sound as lyrical and melodious as in their original form. This version however, is the perfect presentation - large letters, good binding, few colorful pictures, slokams in Hindi script and beautiful English translation.

As a beginner who collects original works and books going out of print, I am absolutely happy about this purchase. Although it is priced much higher than available in Indian rupees (equivalant to ~$20), I made a decision to pay for it. Such books are priceless! Often you get only translations, but I appreciate the original text and its translation below (although I didn't need it as I know the language). I have also bought the Valmiki Ramayana printed by the same press. I commend the publisher and request them to be in the quest to publish such original works and translations. The only comment I have for the publisher is to provide a note about the presentation style of these works by Indian sages/saints so that it makes it easier for a non-Indian reader/seeker.October 04, 2018: Very happy with the binding, print and quality of the translation.

Beautiful reading should be required reading for all high school students. It is an important piece of literature everyone should read.

The best version I"ve found

Priceless book. Letters large enough to read comfortably . Only one complaint. A few pages I assume because of the printing had creases which cut some of the words and I guess I time it may tear open . I will buy another hoping to get a better copy.

Beautiful and fast delivery
