Sri Ram Charit Manas And Other Texts ReadingsAn Awadhi Jhoolan song for Sri Sita Ram in the rainy season, from Sri Kanak Bhawan, Ayodhya ji, IndiaJhoolan songs are sung in Awadh or Ayodhya ji during the rainy season in North India. This song is a priceless piece of Indian heritage. Heard it from Smt. Shalini Chandra ji, a dear friend and mentor. This song depicts the young couple, Sri Sita Ram, swinging on the banks of River Saryu ji in the rainy season. The singer advises to not disturb the Divine couple.2020-03-2102 minSri Ram Charit Manas And Other Texts Readingsश्री रामचरित मानस ending prayerRandom readings from the beautiful text Sri Ram Charit Manas, in Awadhi dialect of Hindi from Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India, composed about 500 years ago, by Goswami Tulsidas ji, one of my favourite poets.
Sri Ram has inspired many writers, including his contemporary, about 7500 years ago, Maharshi Valmiki. He wrote Valmiki Ramayan in Sanskrit. It is one of the two 'Itihasa' texts in Indian literature. Itihas means, this is how it happened, or factual documentation. The other Itihasa text is Mahabharat or Jaygranth by Maharshi Ved Vyas ji, a contemporary of the protagonists in that text. 2020-03-1408 min
