"We bow to the cuckoo of Vaalmeeki that rests on the branch of poetry and gives out the sweet cooing of the beatiful sounds of "Raama" , "Raama" for our pleasure. "

DEDICATED TO MY LATE MOTHER JOGAMMMA

IN MEMORY OF MY MOTHER LATE Smt. JOGAMMA

								    Born : 1944              	Died : 2014  

I dedicate this work to my late mother Smt Jogamma, as a small token of what a son irrepayably owes to his mother.

My mother spent all her early and middle life in striving hard for our needs in those days,when financial hardships popped up at every instance.

At a stage when money was not a problem and there was a chance for her to relax, she suddenly passed away in December 2014, after a few days of illness owing to cancer, even before the final diagnosis was concluded.

Despite my personal differences with her in connection with our family matters and despite also certain disturbances caused by my siblings to her personal life, she had felt a clear feeling of relief in staying with me and she declared her intention of returning to me in the year 2014 when she suddenly met her end.

Out of my love,pity and respect towards her, I chose to dedicate this work of Raamaayanam in her memory, though I could not do much to her (or my) satisafaction during her life-time owing to many impediments then in my way.

My efforts of establishing my mother's memorial will be a real success for me if the people of my country or state derive even a little benefit from this work.

May the young readers, who cannot comprehend the original Samskritham text of Raamaayanam, understand it to some extent through this document.
