Ramayana – The Game of Life : Stand Strong by Shubha Vilas – Book Review


Shubha Vilas book


Book Name: Ramayana – The Game of Life : Stand Strong

Author: Shubha Vilas

Blurb:

The Ramayana is not a story. It’s a way of life. It’s the game of life.
Life is a constant reminder that nothing, however powerful in one season, remains unchanging. The endless cycles of change can truly us if we are unprepared to face its realities. However, we often see these changing times as problems larger than they really are. Many issues in life when perceived with fear, result in pain; but when perceived with CLARITY, result is FREEDOM.

Situations of helplessness are almost always created by our own limited imagination.

Do you have the courage to face your fears?

Stand Strong, the fourth book in Ramayana: The Game of Life series reminds us through its eternal stories -- such as the tale of brothers Vali and Sugriva -- that life is like a high-risk treasure hunt: one often has to walk through a maze of confusing paths while being chased by dangerously complex dilemmas to find the hidden treasure of wisdom.

Review:

This book is a must read. I am generally not fascinated by mythological books and I have never ever read Ramayana. My knowledge of Ramayana was restricted just to a few anecdotes here and there, as narrated to me by my parents and grandparents. The day I read this book, I remembered those anecdotes and could look at a broader picture. The book seemed familiar to me for I had listened to these tales.

Speaking about the book, it is narrated amazingly. We belong to the modern generation. We aren't a great fan of reading epics. But this book has everything that will keep the interest of the Y generation alive. Each chapter is well written giving out a message towards the end. Everything is well explained without leaving any room for doubts. The footnotes towards the end of the page have been of great help to me.

I would say read this book not just to know more about the epic, Ramayana. But to take the correct message from the book and implement it in your lives. I am surely buying the other books in this series and reading them!

I rate this amazing book with 4/5 stars.
