Valmiki’s Ramayana contains no such hymns and discourses. It is ignorance which causes them to be seen different. It says in such simple terms that the jivatman and the paramatman are merely synonyms. The large number of hymns sung by the various personages in the narrative and the many philosophical discourses that are spread in various parts of the text besides teaching intense devotion, give us a very simple but profound exposition on non-dualism.

However Adhyatma Ramayana representing Him completely as the Supreme, advocates worship, submission and deep devotion as the path for the unison. Rama in Valmiki Ramayana is represented as a great human being with all the human weaknesses so that the people may learn from his life his virtues and his mistakes. To achieve this objective, the Adhyatma Ramayana, while sticking to the main incidents of the Rama Katha described in Valmiki’s epic, makes various deviations in the course of its extensive narration. Thus the prime objective of Adhyatma Ramayana is to establish Rama’s divine status, as an object of worship and devotion and to teach the interrelation of Bhakti and Jnana. In Adhyatma Ramayana we see Rama as the omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, the Brahman, the cause without a cause and the One without a second. The very title ‘Adhyatma Ramayana’ indicates this. The purpose behind the spiritual versions (both sanskrit and the vernacular one) was not to narrate Rama Katha but to propound ideological principles of Bhakti, integrating it with Advaita Vedanta.
ADHYATMA RAMAYANA FULL
Valmiki depicts Sri Rama as an ideal man with his divinity only in subdued tones, whereas Sage Vyasa completely presents him as the Supreme Being incarnate with the full remembrance of his divinity and the recognition of it by all wise men.Īdhyatma Ramayana of Ezhuthachan is a trans-creation of the original Adhyatma Ramayana in Sanskrit with a few changes interspersed in some cantos. Such elaborate significance to jnana and bhakti are not as much seen in Valmiki Ramayana. The portions where the stutis(praises) are incorporated are full of extreme bhakti and unison to the ultimate. More than the tale of Rama, Adhyatma Ramayana is replete with several hymns in praise of Rama, with deep emphasis on precepts related to devotion, knowledge, dispassion and good conduct. However, the Adhyatma Ramayana written in Sanskrit attributed to Veda Vyasa is a spiritual version of Ramayana extolling the path of bhakti and pertaining to the Advaita philosophy.

To ward off the fury unleashed by the rains and spiritually cleansing every home, every lip chants the name of Rama and sings his glory.īut why is Adhyatma Ramayana the chosen version of Ramayana to be read in the Ramayana month?
