Here’s wishing all of you a very happy Vijaydashami and Dassera!

I don’t personally believe in black and white, good and evil, so I won’t wish away darkness from your life, instead I wish that the darkness in your life is a benign one and that you shine like a diya on the darkest days.

Remember that the names Rama and Krishna both mean ‘Black’ and that makes even more sense.

To show my appreciation for the support of my readers, I’m also offering a free copy of one of my Ramayana hardcover editions (each containing two of the paperback texts) to be sent by courier at my expense anywhere in India to the first reader who comments on the Readerswrite page following this announcement.

Some of you know that I have sent several such free copies out before, often without needing an occasion–I’ve even sent copies overseas at my expense at times to readers who couldn’t get hold of the books in foreign countries.

As always, there are no strings attached, and no hoops to jump through. Just write a comment asking for the copy and type in your email ID in the relevant slot of the comments box, and I’ll email you and ask for your land address and next thing you know the copy will be on its way to you. As simple as that!

Anyone is eligible, no conditions or questions asked.

Go for it!
