This eBook presents two of the central sacred texts of Hinduism, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Both epics are ancient Indian classics translated from the original Sanskrit. The primary focus of the Ramayana is the journey of Prince Rama, an avatar of the god Vishnu, who is exiled to the forest with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. The Mahabharata, on the other hand, tells the story of a great war between two branches of a royal family, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Both epics are full of adventure, romance, and moral lessons, and they offer a fascinating glimpse into the culture and beliefs of ancient India.
