About this ebook
Vishnu, the preserver, institutes and maintains order in the universe through the code of dharma. With time though, this code gets corrupted. As the eras change, he descends upon the earth to set things right. Ram is an avatar, an incarnation of Vishnu, sent to destruct Ravana, the ten-headed demon-king. However, that's not his only purpose. As god on earth, Ram is also the propagator of a new code of dharma, one that is slightly more relaxed than Parashuram's era but stricter than Krishna's. Ramayana may be Ram's story but as the story of an avatar of Vishnu's, it is but one piece of the grand Hindu jigsaw puzzle. As Devdutt Pattanaik sheds light on the many aspects of Vishnu's earthly incarnations, the reader discovers details about the epic that aren't well-known. Ram: A God on Earth is written in Pattanaik's unique style that brings together wit and mythology.
