Ramayana The Story of Lord Rama by Bhakti Vikas Swami 
The Rāmayana records the adventures of Rāma, the Lord of righteousness, as He struggles to overcome the forces of Rāvana. This is not a modern, imagined version of the Rāmāyana. It is the true account, concise but faithful to the original. 
Its timeless spiritual insights are compellingly relevant in today’s confused world, and will continue to be so even after various speculative interpretations are long forgotten. 
 
English edition, based on a translation of the original Ramayana by Valmiki, produced by a group of ISKCON devotees coordinated by Bhakti Vikasa Swami. 

First told by the poet Valmiki in 24,000 Sanskrit verses more than 20,000 years ago, and then memorized and retold by Valmiki's disciples and passed down from generation to generation, the Ramayana has been central to Indian life. It has been the basis for understanding morality and spirituality for millennia.
