Synopsis

Born in British India to an itinerant Sanskrit scholar, Rama defied social boundaries to recite the sacred legends. Eventually, she appeared before a panel of experts in British Calcutta, earned the title Pandita, and became a public lecturer until she married. As a widow, Rama returned to her profession before traveling to England for further education at Cheltenham. While there, Rama accepted Christian baptism. Rama continued on to America where she raised funds for her still-existing ashram near Pune, India.

Rama’s Labyrinth is the true inspirational story of one woman’s quest for self-discovery and spiritual growth.

A Good Arrangement

Thakubai, once the thief with bony fingers, is now part of Rama's life. She's the first child widow Rama helps, but not the last. Blessings come in many forms.

Book Excerpt

Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)

Thakubai settled in well. Rama didn’t care for her cooking, but Mano loved her. Rama could write, lecture, and attend meetings without worry. The room was always tidy. It was a good arrangement. Rama thought she’d helped herself as much as Thakubai. Well, perhaps not quite as much. Nevertheless, it was a good arrangement. Perhaps someday she could acquire a bungalow and open a school for child widows. That would be perfect!
