Sri Valmiki Ramayana - this is a multi-volume project as desired by Srila Prabhupada. We launched Bala-kanda (First Canto), we planned to release every year Rama-navami one canto. This was translated by Vidvan Gauranga Prabhu - one of the scholarly devotee disciple of His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaja.
Shyama Rasika Dasa and Vidvan Gauranga Prabhu under the order of His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaja started a small publication unit called Rupa Raghunatha Vani Publications to publish our previous acarya's books.

Thanks so much for the endeavor to bring us closer to Lord Rama. I have been studying and teaching VR for a long time. According to Vr, Lord Rama is Indivara Shyama or as blue as a blue lotus. This is first mentioned by King Dasaratha in 13th chapter of Ayodhya Khand to Mother Kaikeyi when he protested her boons. In multiple places throughout VR, great devotees such as Lakshmana and Valmiki confirm that Lord rama is blue. The Ayodhyavasis call Rama as meghashyama en route to Chitrakuta.
Would it be possible to change the front cover in the subsequent editions to reflect the correct Lord Rama’s hue according to VR?
Thanks, HariBol!
Jay Sita Rama!
