Description
Bala Ramayana
This book, especially written for children awakens in one a sense of beauty and wonder. The story of Sri Rama is not just narrated as an ancient tale full of sound and fury signifying nothing. The narration is interspersed with descriptions of the sights and sounds of Nature.
Swami Chinmayananda says, that this book is a picture gallery where each picture is a perfect one – and yet the entire gallery is confusing with its variegated colours, just like the picture of the world around us. That is why it attracts the young and the old alike. “Truly a thing of genuine beauty evokes in us a sense of reverence for the Divine; be it a thousand hued rainbow, the forest trees in bloom, the stillness of a moonlit night, the music of the river rushing to meet the ocean, or the darshan of ancient temples or images – their origin lost in antiquity – ageless, timeless, places of worship.”
Bala Bhagavatam
The learned and the erudite revelled in the depth of the philosophy, packed away in all the serious “discussions”and “talks” that happen all along this glorious work of Vyasa. However, the devoted younger hearth of the children loved the stories of Krishna’s early childhood full of pranks and mischiefs. He throws upon the growing children a divine light of blue and yellow and all their life they grow to be fascinated with this ideal. The ever-smiling, never-weeping Krishna should be the ideal for modern world of children everywhere growing as they are, in a horrid atmosphere of fear, passions and suspicions.
