Ramayana Divine Loophole Sanjay Patel 9780811871075 Books

I have 2 kids who haven't learned much about their Indian heritage and I was trying to find a way to introduce them to the mythologies and stories of India. After doing some research, I found out about Sanjay Patel and his work, so I went ahead and ordered Ramayana: Divine Loophole.

Let me tell you - this was so much more than I ever expected. My kids (and my wife!) were mesmerized by the way the story was presented, and I can't speak enough about the artwork. My kids begged me, each night, to read more from the book. They would race through dinner and brush their teeth in record time just so we had more time to read. This is a testament to the quality of this book.

Ramayana Divine Loophole Sanjay Patel 9780811871075 Books Reviews

As one other reviewer pointed out, the text is not the best, but the beautiful illustrations which have the vitally important quality of Shraddha, are the reason i bought this book. i love it. I would also re-buy it as an ebook, if i could, to read on my ipad.
Contrast this to the illustrations in "Sita sings the blues', whose creator Nina Paley Sanjay credits. The lack of Shraddha made those pictures,while beautiful in technique, tawdry and unappealing, whereas this book feels like no mere comic, but a work of art that is fit to adorn walls.
I'm teaching Hindu mythology to my 2G class.

From the very day I first brought Sanjay Patel's RAMAYANA to class, my students have been nearly obsessed by it they read it, want me to read it, pour over the artwork, copy the artwork, etc.

Already the book has be a delight for free reading and classroom art, true art projects in our literacy / art collaboration (after using Sanjay Patel's 12 posters for 2 weeks, students selected their favorite pages from RAMAYANA and worked different techniques for the next two weeks), and is now being read in its entirety to the class (my students INSISTED!).

So as a doorway to an Indian classic for young persons (and old ones like me too), there's simply nothing better!

(We do have a couple of books with "traditional" Indian art. My students are not drawn to it at all, considering it unattractive. But with Sanjay Patel's illustrations? My students LOVE the stories! Me too!)

This an amazing book. The text is entertaining and easy to read and grasp. The illustrations carry the story along all by themselves and they are fabulous. I am not a fan of contemporary animated movies, but Sanjay Patel has opened my eyes and made me fall in love with his drawings and unusual color choices. Plus, you get his sketches and a biography of the main characters at the end of the book. And, what a nice, abbreviated, retelling of the immensely long Ramayana epic it is! I know a six year old boy who loves this book!
This is one of those books that strike you with its creativity on every single page. The artwork is uniquely beautiful and does a fantastic job of accompanying the test. I have not only enjoyed the stunning artwork but also the narrative. As someone who was only peripherally familiar with the story, I feel like I now have a good sense of the Ramayana. I know it would not be an easy task but I hope the author narrates and illustrates Mahabharata as well.
I absolutely love this book. As a first generation Indian American trying to teach second generation Indian Americans about their Hindu religion, I am so impressed with the way Mr. Patel illustrated and summarized this important story. My 6yo son loves the pictures and is able to understand the important points in the story. THANK YOU MR PATEL and I will definitely be buying ANY book that this author writes on Hinduism for kids.
We received this as a gift and I thought it would be too advanced for my 3 year old. However, he loves it and we're on our third reading. I stop to explain concepts and use synonyms when we encounter new words, and it's been a terrific learning experience. ("Scholar... or teacher; Demon... or monster" for example.) we gave a second copy as a gift. It's split into Acts, so that's a good concept to teach, too. And it's interesting for adults too! And the artwork is superb. This is a fantastic book and worth every penny/minute.
