Adhyatma Ramayana: The Spiritual Version of the Rama Saga

For those without the time or the inclination to read the full Valmiki Ramayan the Adhyatma Ramayan is a good short substitute. It is traditionally said to be a more spiritual rendition of the Ramayan story; but the spirituality consists mainly of paeans to Rama as Vishnu incarnate interspersed throughout the book. This is a pretty good translation, and enjoyable to read.

Great contribution to Ramayana.

This book is a translation by Swami Tapasyananda, Ramakrishna Math, of the east Indian mythological text called Adhyatma Ramayana. It contains the Sanskrit verses plus a lucid translation of a nonsecterian type. Although it's intersting to read it is still a long-winded story. But for most Hindus this is a very important sacred text and there is no way around reading it, if one wants to understand Hinduism.

Excellent. Tells Ramayana from a spiritual perspective. Must read for deeper understanding. The print quality is average though.

Want to know some of the inner meanings of the Ramayana? This book is a good place to start .

well written
