Easing Into the Ramayana Kim Beyer

You must search deeply to find a story that has impacted a continent and culture as much as India's Ramayana. From heroic comic books to TV serializations, from use in regional politics to shaping the lives of marriage and conduct, from deep theological celebrations about the incarnational power of God to the live wire of devotion and trust in the divine, this epic breathes with a vital and timeless life even today. This ninth book of the Easing Into Collection focusses on the ten great ideas of this ancient text, poses questions for group study or reflection and caps each chapter with an original poem that illustrates the right-brained, intuitive approach to the major themes of the work. Kim is also the author of Easing into the Mahabharata, Easing into the Bhagavad Gita, Easing into Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, Easing into Lao Tzu's Tao te Ching, Easing into the Dhammapada, and Easing into the Gospel of Thomas.
