This is a true transliteration of the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana. It narrates the story of Rama who had all the 16 qualities that can be expected of a human being. It happened more than 880,000 years ago. Does ancient India and Sri Lanka have multi-storied buildings and electricity? Did they have aero planes in those days? you can find answers for those questions inside this book.

Who knows what happens after death? Hinduism detailed this theory in Garuda Puraana in a conversation between Lord Vishnu and Garuda. That conversation is focused on the matters of death to birth and covers all those aspects in a succinct manner.This book is a translation of that Garuda Puraana, translated from its original Sanskrit version into contemporary American English keeping it as close to the original as humanly possible.Most Hindu scriptures were not written as a narration of the author. Take Raamayana, or Maha Bhaaratha or Srimadh Bhaagavatha, they are all reports of conversations between different characters presented in the book. The author does not express his interpretation or the feelings of the characters. The intention behind actions is rarely, if at all, mentioned. One can argue, that this style is adopted by the author to shift the onus from himself to the characters in the book. The other argument is that the author actually listened to the conversations and then recorded it dutifully.

Concepts discussed in this book include organisational framework for effective management of people; capacity planning to optimize numbers and the costs; outsourcing and freelancers; a geographically spread workforce; motivation and morale; performance; and skill retention and development.

People come and people go and nobody would live eternally. But if there is one person who was born 880,156 (by 2016) years ago and is still remembered even today by many people and some, howsoever miniscule they may be, worship him, is it not wise to study his life to see the cause behind his greatness? Surely there would be something to learn and emulate from his life! Why should we read Sundara Kaanda? We get multiple benefits. The first is for the reader as he would be cleansed of all his past sins and if he continues to live a righteous life, heaven is assured for him. Second is the fulfillment of any reasonable desire is assured to those reciting it with devotion. This book is about Hanumaan, devotee od Raama crossing the sea to reach Lanka to search and locate Seetha abducted by Raavana. This is perhaps the first book comprehensively translated into contemporary English prose from the original epic in Sanskrit Sloka by Sloka without discarding or distorting anything included in the original.
