Kamba Ramayanam - Moolam - Tamil | Hindu Puran Book

• Kamba Ramayanam – Moolam is the original Tamil version of the epic Ramayana, written by the great Tamil poet Kambar. It is one of the most revered and celebrated works of Tamil literature, and its spiritual, poetic, and moral depth has made it an integral part of Tamil culture and religious tradition.
• Kamba Ramayanam is a Tamil retelling of the Valmiki Ramayana, but it is not a literal translation. Kambar added his unique poetic style, deep philosophical insights, and additional elements to enrich the narrative. His work is divided into six kandams (books) as opposed to the seven books in Valmiki’s version.
• This edition presents the Moolam, which is the original, unaltered Tamil verses composed by Kambar. This pure form is ideal for readers who wish to experience the richness of Kambar’s poetry in its authentic language, without any modern interpretations or explanations.
• Kambar's mastery of the Tamil language is on full display in Kamba Ramayanam. His verses are renowned for their rhyme, meter, and elegance, which elevate the epic to a literary masterpiece. The work stands out not only for its narrative power but also for its musicality and aesthetic value.
• Kamba Ramayanam is a pillar of Tamil culture and has deeply influenced Tamil religious life, music, dance, and art. It is often recited in temples and during religious festivals, especially Rama Navami, which celebrates the birth of Lord Rama. The book has also been a source of inspiration for various Tamil devotional and literary works.
