Thanks a lot Mandodari ji for the valuble informaiton. I am totally envious of you (you have Thyagaraja's Kerthanas!!!) I had always wanted to hear them. I hope to get my hands on it someday.

I'll check out 'The Wonderous Crest-Jewel in Performance' when I go out next. It will be interesting to read.

There is so many versions of Ramayan and books on Ramayan that I think even a lifetime would not be enough to read, analyze and understand it all.

Thanks for this page. I'll look at it in more detail later, but scanning it initially for contemporary sources, I spotted

(B) Hindu Scriptures

Ramayanas
(1) Valmiki Ramayana
(2) Ramopakhyana in the Mahabharata (Vana Parva)
(3) The Yoga Vasishtha or the Vasishtha Ramayana

Did Guru Vaishishtha &/or his disciples also write a Ramayan? Also, did Vyasa include a Ramayan within the Mahabharat, and if so, which source did he use?

You are welcome Chandra. I am not sure. I hope there are others in this forum who are more knowledgeable than I am. 😆😆😆 I found this website and I thought it will be helpful to people who are interested in exploring the Ramayan and its variation further. I am a novice and I was a little stunned to see so many resources on the Ramayan.

Was the Adhyatma Ramayan the one that first had the story of Kush/Luv fighting Rama's army after capturing the ashwamedha horse?
