About this ebook
Ramayana isn't a single text. It is a belief, a tradition, a subjective truth, a thought materialized, ritualized and celebrated through narrations, songs, dances, sculptures, plays, paintings, and puppets across hundreds of locations over hundreds of years.' But where did it all originate? It is believed that when Shakti wanted to hear a tale that had the power to comfort during turbulent times, Shiva narrated the Ramayana. It is from this brief exchange that all that came followed. With What Shiva Told Shakti, Devdutt Pattanaik offers a brief glimpse into the vast and historical tradition that is the Ramayana. From versions and formats to cultures and countries, explore the epic with the master himself.

Devdutta Patnaik has a unique style of explaining and elaborating the actual meaning behind the narratives of complex hindu scriptures. In this book he has meticulously explained the stories told as what Lord Shiva has told Shakti. These are not mere stories but they are the cosmic teachings narrated by the supreme lord to help humans understand the true purpose of life.
