| Summary: | The ur text of the Rama Story, the Srimad Valmiki Ramayana, and Tulsidas's Ramcharitmanas are the two authoritative tellings, with a multiplicity of variants of all ages, lands, languages and cultures influenced by India. The Rama story tells about a lofty, sublime protagonist Who is an incarnation of God and protector of humanity. Endowed with attributes rare amongst created beings (Valmiki-Balakanda, 1: 8-19) He and His story give rise to various issues voiced within the Ramayana and by agencies outside it. Responses and solutions have been recorded within the Ramayana tradition upholding the Divinity of Sri Rama. However, some issues and tellings raise concerns as to their place within the tradition. The writer presents a brief review of the origin of the Rama Ethos, the raising and addressing of issues, as well as their impact on the tradition and Rama-devotees. |
