Synopsis

SHRI RAMA was made a HINDU GOD by Rishi Valmiki- more popularised by poet Tulshidasa [in 17th Century].  Rig-Veda- in India started deification of human beings, who made War-lord Indra, as the topmost Vedic god [ 1432 BC-1390 BCV]. Vishnu’s God image remained foggy in Rig-Veda, but in first six Avataras-[p Meena, Kurma, Varaha, Simha, Vamana and Parashurama,  he did not succeed to get devotional reverence. But through the Epic Ramayana, as Rama, he killed mighty Rakshasa King Ravana in addition to some other Rakshasa, as a war-hero he become a  prominent  Hindu God .

This book is mainly taken up those selected issues from the Valmiki Ramayan, which raises questions, relating to the divinity of Lord Rama- by his acts, talks, and moral values-even so-called heroic performance and apparent success. This is not to evaluate God Rama-but to evaluate success or failure of the poet Valmiki, in raising the son of king Dasharatha to the level of a worship-able human god !!

The Hindus create as many human gods as they liked, none can object to their rights to do that, and obtain mental peace by idol-worship, but awarding the human Gods, epithet of Prama-Vrahman, is a great act of insultation to the  Concept of Vrahma, thus painfully hurt the feelings of Vaidantik Hindus of India.
