We regard Ramayana as heart and soul of India because our age old culture, high principles and great ideals together with universal spiritual values and their underlying truths, have been truly depicted in it. In spite of the fact that it has been part and parcel of Indian life from time immemorial, Ramayana now belongs to whole mankind because of its universal appeal based on all time great message and still greater divine inspiration. The Ramayana has under its possession a unique moral and spiritual treasure capable of inspiring the whole human race. It may provide the right solution for almost all human problems and miseries. The aim of this publication is to bring the nectar of world Ramayana Conference to doorsteps of those who are keenly interested in the studies of Ramayana with a broader perspective. It is a matter of great satisfaction that this publication is in your hands which has been released on the occasion of the 15th International Ramayana Conference (Trinidad & Tobago, August 1-3, 1998).
