Additional information
by Sumant Gupta (Author)
Shri Ramlila (The playful acts of Shri Ram) is a sequence of 24 one-act plays that depict his glory from birth to crowning. Readers can perform them as a complete epic, enact only one act, or use some dialogues as a short mono act.
The book covers most stories of Shri Ramcharitmanas (written by Goswami Tulsidas Ji) and Valmiki Ramayan. Information from other holy books is also included. The details mentioned in the epics can overwhelm first-time readers. To help them, these are shown in summaries, lists, and pictographs. Hindi couplets (with meaning) and prayers translated into English aim to enrich the reading experience. Teachings and morals are in place to drive the religious and ethical messages. A list of characters, their personifications, backdrops, and props, will aid those who want to enact the plays. Scenes and dialogues have been written to cover the story in minimum acts. In short, the plays do cover most information written in the epic. Let's hope it inspires all to read the original masterpieces. Shri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram!
