Today it is still one of the most widely read and respected books ever published on the wisdom of the East.

Hinduism – Greatest Stories Ever Told brings the timeless epics of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata to a global audience. Designed for listeners with little prior knowledge, this podcast unpacks powerful stories of duty, spirituality, destiny, devotion, and dharma in a clear, engaging narrative style. From the journey of Rama to the wisdom of Krishna, discover the philosophy, symbolism, and human drama that shaped one of the world’s oldest living traditions. Timeless stories. Universal truths.

The Ramayana stands as the "Adi Kavya" - the first poem - of the Indian tradition, a monumental Itihasa (narrative of past events) that has shaped the moral and cultural landscape of Asia for millennia. The title itself is a compound of Rama and ayana, signifying "Rama’s Journey." Yet, the name of our protagonist carries a profound semantic duality found within the layers of our oldest texts: while the Atharvaveda associates Rama with "dark-colored" or "black" (allied with ratri, the stillness of night), the Mahabharata celebrates the name as "pleasing, beautiful, or charming."

In this inspirational collection of stories, Swami Rama relates his experiences with the great teachers who guided his life, including Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi, Sri Aurobindo, and Ramana Maharshi. It documents Swami Rama's spiritual quest, which showed him that direct experience is the source of real knowledge.
