The Oracle of Rama

Summary: A spiritual oracle
Review: This is a wonderful oracle that in my experience really works. The answers are inspiring and helpful. They take one on the spiritual journey of life. The oracle consists of a poem written by the greatest Hindu poet Tulasidas. It is based on the Ramayana, the story of the Hindu divine hero Rama. With every verse Frawley gives a brief comment which helps interpret the verse as an oracular answer.

The book has an introductory section where the story of the Ramayana is briefly summarised and the characters in the story are introduced. Also the introduction explains a number of ways in which the oracle can be consulted. One way involves dividing 108 seeds into three piles, and then counting the seeds. Using this method, one cannot get certain answer from the oracle, because of the mathematical relation of the three piles. I advise everyone to use one of the other methods, which work fine.
