Tulsi Ramayan in English Verse
Ramayan is so immensely popular that it has been translated into many languages, including English. So, one more translation in English wouldn’t draw attention first a at glance. However, when one has the opportunity to even give a cursory reading to this book, Tulsi Ramayan in English verse and know who the author is, one is left spellbound. Satya Dev is a Harvard graduate who served in the Indian army as a captain. When he decided to translate the Tulsi Ramayan verse by verse in prose, his friends laughed at the idea and said that it could not be done. Well, after 15 years of labor, persistence and shraddha, Satya Devji brought out this publication in 2010, which will be of immense help to those Hindus and others interested in the great Hindu culture who do not know any language other than English. This would include a majority of second and third generation of Hindus in the northern hemisphere. The Author has taken pain to fit every chaupai, doha, sortha, chhand and shloka in proper meters and while doing so has not sacrificed lucidity of language.
