This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: http://librivox.org/the-ramayan-book-3-by-valmiki/

The Ramayan is an ancient Sanskrit epic. It is attributed to the Hindu sage Valmiki and forms an important part of the Hindu canon (smṛti). The Ramayana is one of the two great epics of India, the other being Mahabharata. It is the story of Rama, who embarks on an epic journey followed by the fight with Ravana, the demon king who abducted Rama's wife, Sita. The epic depicts the duties of relationships, portraying ideal characters like the ideal servant, the ideal brother, the ideal wife and the ideal king. (Introduction by Om123, with much wikipedia help.)

If we don't hear from you for three months, your project will be opened up to a group project as soon as a Book Coordinator can be found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to have it re-instated).

  • Say:
    "Book 3 of The Ramayan of Valmiki, Translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith. [cantos ]"

Hi!

You're missing part of the template here, which makes it impossible to set up the project.
Here is the bit that is missing:

• Link to title on Wikipedia (if available):
• Number of sections (files) this project will have:
• Does the project have an introduction or preface [y/n]:
