Śrīmad Vālmīki Rāmāyana (English Translation)
As part of our online Satsang (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551067569493) we are reading the Gita Press English Translation, these episodes are recordings from those Satsangs. We were listening to another podcast reading this version that stopped at Aranyakānda Canto 40, thus we start with Canto 41 . After finishing the Yuddhakānda we started from the beginning of the Bālakānda.
We dedicate our humble effort to the Almighty Lord Śrī Rāma, who has sustained us throughout in His abundant grace and enabled us to continue this podcast.
