In this opening chapter of The Essence of Yoga Vasistha Maha Ramayan, we are introduced to a deeply contemplative Lord Ram, who, despite having all the luxuries and victories of a prince, feels a profound emptiness within.
Torn by existential questions -
Lord Ram expresses his deep dispassion (Vairagya) and longing for truth.
This moment marks the beginning of a life-changing dialogue between Lord Ram and his revered Guru, Rishi Vasistha. A spiritual journey that transcends time begins here.
