Ram Vijaya’ Released in Assamese
Noted film critic Prantik Deka writes about the release book, "Ram Vijaya" in Assamese
In a significant literary development, Roopkar Prakashan has recently released an Assamese rendition of the mythological tale centred on Lord Ram, titled ‘Ram Vijaya’, thereby making this enduring epic more accessible to Assamese readers. The text serves as a sacred devotional scripture that profoundly glorifies the life and divine leelas of Lord Shri Ram and Lord Vishnu, providing insights into their timeless virtues and teachings. It holds a profound meaning for those who follow the teachings of Shirdi Sai Baba as well. Baba himself would frequently urge His devotees to immerse themselves in its pages, a practice documented in the sacred ‘Sai Satcharita’. As the time drew near for His Mahasamadhi, Baba insisted on hearing the verses recited to Him, showcasing the deep spiritual importance it held in His eyes. This act of seeking solace in its words in His final days resonates loudly about the spiritual depth and value of this sacred text.
Pallabi Borah has skillfully translated the literary work ‘Ram Vijaya’ into the Assamese language, elevating it to an engaging piece of translated literature, which marks her debut as a translator. In addition to her translation work on various literary texts previously, Borah is also the publisher of the recently revived ‘Roopkar’ magazine which upholds its historical significance within the cultural and literary landscape of Assam.
