Srinivasa Sastri has dealt with all the leading characters in the Ramayana with the deepest love and reverence. Passages of great beauty expressing the most sublime thoughts and sentiments are gathered and explained by the author in his inimitable style. Nothing can be so beautiful as how he closes his lectures. Speaking of Sri Rama’s coronation at the end. “But the real coronation is in our hearts,” he says with fervor” “Rama and Sita should be crowned in our hearts, enthroned in our hearts. Let them govern your thoughts and regulate your lives. On all important occasions, remember them and then you cannot go wrong.
