Nirmala Balkaran, a noted expert in her field, summarises in her Presentation Discussion how those simple, non-noticeable players in Ramayana could give us the wonderful insights that are sustaining for our lives! She is well-known to the readers of my Blog too as she participates in a lively discussion in the Comments section of the Blog intermittently.
I am happy that she agreed to give her Talks in Singapore ashram on the next Saturday. Welcome to Singapore, Nirmala!

Reader Yogan Naidoo from South Africa explores beautifully in an article published in our Quarterly spiritual magazine NIRVANA.
A link is placed below. The article starts in Page 18. Wish you all a happy reading!
