My Favorite Book

Reading books is my pastime. Books are my never-falling friends. When I am out of tune with myself, I take recourse to reading books by great writers and masterminds. I have read a number of books. Some books leave a profound influence upon our minds. The book which has appealed to me the most is “My Experiments With Truth”, written by Mahatma Gandhi. It throws a flood of light on his personality and thought. It is ideas and thoughts that have moved the world. This book centers round two things: Gandhiji’s patriotism and his struggle for India’s freedom. He fought against injustice and inequality with the weapons of truth and non-violence. The book brings out how Gandhiji awakened the sleeping Indians with his moral force and aroused in them a love for liberty. The book also points out Gandhiji’s own weaknesses. To him, God was truth and truth was God. He never tried to conceal anything about his life. He believed that politics should be tempered with morality. I like this book because it has proved a turning point in my life. I have learnt a lot from this great book. It remains one of the most precious treasures of mankind. It makes a very good reading. Every sentence of this book has a touch of sincerity. It is written in a simple but effective style. It is worth reading.

My Favorite Book

A book has a great power to make us good or bad. A good books may be very useful for us while a bad book may do great harm to us. It is very easy to read books but it is difficult to select a book for reading purpose. A book gives us company. A book increases our knowledge. It improves us mentally and spiritually. So a great care is needed in selecting a good book.  The matter of the book affects the mid while reading the  book.

I have read many books. If we gain nothing after reading the cheap type of book, it means we have wasted our time in reading useless book. It is only passing the time with no benefit. I have read Ramayana written by Tulsidas. I liked it most, still I like it and it would be liked by me in future also. It influenced me most. This is my favourite book. I love it most. The book has many charms   of its own. It is more interesting than a novel. It is more philosophic than any book on philosophy.  It is a complete moral code. Hence, it has influenced me most. It contains the life story of Rama who is thought to be an incarnation of God. Hence it is a religious book which helps us to make us good an pious.

The book is full of ideals. It presents every situation of life. from the examples given in this book, we learn how we should behave with our parents, brothers, sisters, friends, enemies, teachers, learned persons, strangers, husbands, wives , sons and even the low caste people. It teaches us to be brave and sons and even the low caste people. It teaches us to be brave and cheerful in all circumstances. Thus, we may call it the best book for character- building in the world.

Rama was the son of King Dashrath of Ayodhya. He was  a wonderful man. To obey the orders of his father, he went into exile for 14 years. His wife Sita, and brother Lakshman went with him. Ravana the King of Lanka stole away Sita. Lord Rama invaded Lanka and defeated Ravana. He got his wife back. Rama protected Rishis and killed demons. Sita as an ideal wife, was the follower of Rama in all his joys and sorrows. Rama’s father Dashrath, died of grief without Rama but kept his word. Rama obeyed his father’s wish and brother, Lakshman went with him to serve him with heart and soul. Bharat too did not accept crown but ruled over Ayodhya as Rama’s Steward.

Ram loved the people and the people respected him. He treated the low caste boatman as his own brother. In the forest of Chitra Koot, he treated the Bhils as his own men. He became a true protector of all sages in trouble. His friendship with Sugriva is an example for us. Hanuman proved his true follower. Site lived the life of purity and devotion in Lanka.

Thus we see that victory comes to the good people. The wicked people suffer in the end. Ramayana gives us Consolation when we are in trouble.

My Favorite Book

Books are the best food for our mind. They give us a peculiar joy and we forget all the cares and worries of life. the serious books are intended for sober and thoughtful  minds. They mold our thought and give us a proper direction. They are the best guides and philosophers. I  an myself greatly influenced by Bhagwad Gita, the greatest book which India has produced so far. It has no rival. It teaches us the secrets of ideal life and duty.

Bhagawad Gita tells us that we should do our duty at all times whatever  the duty is at the moment and forget everything else. When we do our duty, we should not look for any kind of reward. When our duty is done properly, it is its own reward. We should not do anything for our profits and we should not be afraid of losses. Whatever we do, it should be done out of a high sense of duty.

In order to do our duties properly, Bhagawad Gita tells us, we should rise above the pains of opposites. Neither could nor heat should disturbed us. We should not care for gains and losses, pleasures and pains. We should keep our minds steady like a flame in a hurricane lamp which is not disturbed by the wind outside.

Bhagawad Gita embodies a message for Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the battle of Mahabharata, Arjuna was unwilling to fight because he would not like to kill his kith and kin. But Lord Krishna told him that was his duty at the moment  because they were responsible for much evil in the world. Besides, the people whom he was to kill were already killed by God. He was only to lift his sword and they would fall. He was not the killer. True killer was God. The time for the death  of Kurus had come. He was only an agent of the will go God.

Bhagawad Gita  does not tell us to renounce the world for Godly pursuits but instructs to be more active in the worldly affairs but not be involved himself in the love of this world. The life here is all temporary and as such being attached to the world is the biggest blunder. We have to live this life temporarily and prepare for a larger life beyond this world. Love of the people is the actual love of God is what Bhagawad Gita teaches.

My Favourite Book

Visit a shop and you will find thousands of books lying in shelves. You may choose a book that suits you. It may be a book on literature, history or any other subject. It may be a book having a novel, a drama or a number of poems in it. It may be a picture book. Whichever interests you, you may go in for it.

People call me a book-worm. But they are in the wrong. I like books but I am not a book-worm. I read books, which give me a great interest. I like tales of heroism. Therefore, I like the Ramayana. The Ramayana written in English by Rajagopalacharya, the late Governor General of India is a very good book. But I like Hindi Ramayana, which is called ‘Ram Charit Manas’, written by Goswami Tulsi Dass, the great Indian Saint poet. The verses in Hindi are really interesting. I have read the English version of it as told earlier. Therefore, I know the story of the Ramayana.

Because I am fond of singing songs, therefore I sing verses of ‘Ram Charit Manas’. I like the story of the Lord Rama, as he was an ideal son of his ideal father. He was an ideal ruler of an ideal country. He was an ideal husband of an ideal wife. He was an ideal brother of Lakshmana, another ideal brother. Again he was an ideal ruler, who saved the people. Everyone could approach him at the time of distress.

Lord Rama’s tale of heroism has actually moved my heart. I wish that the people of the country should follow his foot-steps. He was great in many respects. We can be proud to know that our country had such a great ruler. Perhaps, for this reason the people used to worship Lord Rama as they do even today.

Lord Rama fought against the forces of evil and injustice. He used to serve and help the saints and people of his time. It is great quality of any ruler. He was a hero. He knew what he had to do. He followed his own principles of life. He was humble. His life teaches us a lot.

If we want to build the character of a nation, we shall have to follow the principles of life of such a great man.

I like the Ramayana because of the finest pictures that it has got. These pictures are highly alluring and astonishing. One of those pictures depicts fighting scene of Lord Rama against Ravana, the king of Lanka. It is a wonderful and lively picture of wonderful fight. I like books of songs and dramas also and I like singing. It keeps me happy at those moments when sorrow haunts my mind. I sing sweet songs. Besides Ramayana or Ram Charit Manas, there are many other books of historical importance. These books throw light on many events. These books tell us of our ancient culture. I like books on culture. The Ramayana satisfies me in every way. It is one of the finest books on Indian culture and history. It is a book in verse. I can sing songs whenever I am lonely. It serves both the purposes. Therefore, I like this book very much.

It is always better to read one book with interest than to read out many books without interest. Therefore, I shall tell you all how to choose your favourite book very carefully. This book should keep you absorbed and at the time it should give you much benefit in times of leisure. Choosing a favourite book is really a difficult job. But I have already chosen my favourite book about which I have already made a mention.
