Our deep sense of spiritual values have been deluged by a new sense of misapprehended or misinterpreted secularism, rapidly weakening our hold on the basic truths of spiritualism and religion. This breathtaking new sense has inevitably led to the present tempo of materialistic modes of thought and life, which pose as a serious distortion to morals, philosophy. religion and God. Hence there is an urgent and great need for a reinterpretation and a redefinition of the role of religion and spirituality in human life.
At this stage it has become necessary to fall back on our great epic "The Adhyathma Ramayanam to delve deeper into the realms of spiritual knowledge for a mobilization of our spiritual resources and for an insurgence of spiritual values into the tenor of our life, to mould the thought and moral life of mankind, as the Adhyathma Ramayanam' is the fountain head of our spiritual heritage, with an elaboration of even the minutest details relating to several miniscule facets of life.
There happens to be scores of Ramayanam. Yet, the Adhyathama Ramayanam' is a lofty work presented in the form of an interlocution between God Shivan and Devi Parvathi in the Padma Puranam. It is taken for granted that the great Sage Yagnavalkya reproduced it in the form of Adhyathama Ramayanam. However, as the name indicates, the "Adhyathama Ramayanam' is a hypostatic union of the 'Word made Flesh", a living embodiment of words presented out of divine will.
The original Sankrit text is classified into Seven Kandhams (Parts) with sixty-four chapters (Sargas) comprising four thousand and hundred slokas together with hundreds of Sruthis with analysis of the Tattvas. The *Adhyathama Ramayanam conveys the story in brief but touches all the themes, yet its contents are quite summarized and briefly dealt with. It too has the sixth kandham as the Yudha Kandham whereas Tulasidas has given the name Lanka Kandham.
The descriptions here are given in slightly different styles. The Bala Kandham commences with Sage Naradhar's invocation to Lord Brahman to suggest an easy way out for the atonement of one's sins. Brahman propagates that there is no greater spiritual exercise benefiting mankind than the reverential study of the 'Adhyathama Ramayanam', the most efficacious act of expiation, which is par excellence.
Then unfolds the interlocution between Devi Parvathi and God Shivan, the latter revealing to the former the hidden mysteries of Sri Raman's life history, which liberates human beings from the seemingly unbreakable link of bondage with transmigration in this secular world. Then ensue the episodes or Raman's birth, His departure to the forest, the annihilation of the demons, Raman's marriage to Sita and the encounter with Parasuraman. The episodes of the ensuing Kandhams unravel naturally and fluently.
