An abandoned baby is found in a field. Protected by a vulture from a pack of murderous volves. She is adopted by the ruler of Mithila, a powerless kingdom, ignored by all. Nobody believes this child will amount to much. But they are wrong. For she is no ordinary girl. She is Sita.
In book 2 of the Ram Chandra series, based on the Ramayana, the story of Lady Sita, written by the multi-million bestselling Indian Author Amish; the author writes about Lady Sita's journey from an Adopted Child to the Prime Minister to finding her true calling. You will find all the familiar characters you have heard of, like Lord Ram and Lord Lakshman and see more of Lord Hanuman and many others from Mithila. You will also start discovering the true purpose of the Vayuputras and Malayaputras and their conflicting ideologies that leads to plot twists, politics and intrigue as they try to influence outcomes from behind the scenes. This is the second book in the Ram Chandra Series. A sequel that takes you back. Back before the beginning.
Tripathi has dedicated this book to his brother-in-law Himanshu Roy, who was an Indian police officer, who served as the Additional Director General of Police of Maharashtra and Joint Commissioner of Police in Mumbai. He was Chief of the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad. Roy battled cancer and died in 2018.
The beauty of Amish’s writing is in his attention to small details and packaging the book. With every leaf you turn, you'd like to bookmark or make a note of something as you read on. He quotes the Adbhuta Ramayana (credited to Maharishi Valmiki), “Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati suvrata,
Abhyutthanamadharmasya tada prakrtisambhavah’
O keeper of righteous vows, remember this,
Whenever dharma is in decline,
Or there is an upsurge of adharma;
The Sacred Feminine will incarnate.
She will defend dharma.
She will protect us.
Amish further accentuates the readability and beauty of the book by adding a list of characters, flowcharts and notes on narrative structure of the book. This is not just another educational book based on mythology, it’s one of those books that you would like to pick up on a grim day or when you’re feeling a little lost in life and open any page to seek some answers and meaning. The book is available on Amazon and has sold more than 3.5 million copies so far.
