Hari Om!
For nine days starting today, Swami Aparajitanandaji takes us through the most beautiful canto of Tulasi Ramayana, Sundara Kanda. The sweetness of Avadhi language, the devotional beauty of Tulasidasji's composition and the divine melody in Swamiji's voice blend together to melt our hearts in devotion for the Lord.
