Hindu Epic Ramayana: The Story in the Form of Questions and Answers

About the Book

The Vedas, the Ramayana, the Gita, the Puranas and the Mahabharata are some of Hindu's ancient religious texts that have been guiding the society for ages towards the development of a better society. A God-fearing person on his own desists himself from doing wrong, as he is aware of the omnipresence of the Lord. Hindu religious texts make one aware of one’s duties and of the principles of Dharma or righteous behaviour. The term ‘God-fearing’ does not mean that one is a coward. In fact, it signifies a strong aversion to doing wrong. This is what these ancient texts try to teach everybody.

As the original texts are too voluminous, we have presented their essence in the form of unique quiz books, which not only enrich the mind with the knowledge of Hinduism but also enlighten the reader on the philosophical concepts of Hinduism.

This particular book contains the objective type questions on the life story of Lord Rama. This Hindu Epic Ramayana Quiz Book appeases the curiosity about the life of Sri Rama in an interesting manner.
