Saral Ramayan Bhasha by Dr. Onkar Nath Kaushal is a remarkable and spiritually significant contribution to Indian literature, aiming to bring clarity, simplicity, and divine inspiration to one of the most revered epics in Indian culture—The Ramayan. This book stands as a testament to deep devotion, divine calling, and a desire to address widespread misconceptions about God and His incarnation as Lord Ram in a straightforward and scientifically reasoned manner.
The author, Dr. Onkar Nath Kaushal, draws a unique parallel between his experience and that of revered saints and sages. Much like how Tulsidas was inspired by Lord Hanuman to write the Ramcharitmanas, Dr. Kaushal believes he was divinely guided by God Ram Himself to create this holy text, much in the same way that the Bible is considered to have been divinely inspired and descended through Jesus Christ. For Dr. Kaushal, the true understanding of God and His eternal wisdom is not limited by names or forms—since creation cannot define its creator. Just as a son cannot name his father, the author emphasizes that the name of God is beyond human assignment; rather, it is the Creator who gives identity to the created.
The book is not just a retelling of Ramayan in simple language—it is a sincere effort to uncover spiritual truths and dispel the myths and superstitions that have clouded the public’s understanding of divinity. Dr. Kaushal urges readers not to approach this sacred text casually or selectively, but to read it from beginning to end with sincerity and openness, as only a complete reading can convey the full depth of its message.
Born in the Kaushambi district of Uttar Pradesh, Dr. Kaushal served the nation for decades as the Additional Director of the Medical and Health Department in the Chitrakoot Mandal division. Now, in his retired life, he has turned toward spiritual reflection and literary contribution, guided by a divine inner calling. At the age of 68+, he brings to his writing a rare blend of scientific temperament, administrative experience, and spiritual insight.
According to the author, one of the greatest challenges today is the lack of true knowledge about God among the general public. He believes that ignorance and false beliefs have allowed opportunistic individuals to exploit others in the name of religion. With a strong conviction and a heart full of devotion, Dr. Kaushal has taken up the responsibility to illuminate the truth in a clear, accessible, and logically sound manner, especially for the common reader.
Saral Ramayan Bhasha is more than just a book—it is a call to awaken, to reflect, and to re-establish a personal connection with the divine that is rooted not in fear or blind belief, but in understanding, reason, and faith. Through this work, Dr. Kaushal hopes to reach the hearts and minds of readers and inspire them to seek the eternal truth with clarity and courage.
