Sri Ramanin Gunangal

The slim volume by industrialist-turned social activist D.K. Srinivasan enumerates the 16 qualities, which make the protagonist of the Ramayana a supreme human being, a model. In chapter 1, explains the author, once asked the question, Narada explains why Sri Rama is the repository of all auspicious qualities. From compassion to valour and kindness the traits are supported with examples from the epic. Periyavachan Pillai’s Pasurappadi Ramayanam appended adds value to the book.
