The Ramayana (Sanskrit: रामायण, Rāmāyaṇa, IPA: [rɑːˈmɑːjəɳə] ?) is an ancient Sanskrit epic. It is ascribed to the Hindu sage Valmiki and forms an important part of the Hindu canon (smṛti), considered to be itihāsa. The Ramayana is one of the two great epics of India and Nepal, the other being the Mahabharata. It depicts the duties of relationships, portraying ideal characters like the ideal father, ideal servant, the ideal brother, the ideal wife and the ideal king.The name Ramayana is a tatpurusha compound of Rāma and ayana ("going, advancing"), translating to "Rama's Journey". The Ramayana consists of 24,000 verses in seven books (kāṇḍas) and 500 cantos (sargas), and tells the story of Rama (an avatar of the Hindu preserver-God Vishnu), whose wife Sita is abducted by the demon king of Lanka, Ravana. Thematically, the Ramayana explores human values and the concept of dharma.
Verses in the Ramayana are written in a 32-syllable meter called anustubh. The Ramayana was an important influence on later Sanskrit poetry and Indian life and culture. Like the Mahābhārata, the Ramayana is not just a story: it presents the teachings of ancient Hindu sages(Vedas) in narrative allegory, interspersing philosophical and devotional elements. The characters Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Hanuman and Ravana are all fundamental to the cultural consciousness of India and Nepal.

Digital illusions,
Ghosts within the engines,
Religion of solution,
And the Sun is beginning to rise...
Awake I enter dreaming,
Windows ever widening,
Truth has lost it's meaning,
And the Sun sheds its light
on the Empire...
As far as the mind leads,
Across seven seas,
Empire Rising...
...resolution... electronic...
...black and white... terrorized...
...to take days... new Iraq...
...night-club fire... turning back...
...and I want to go back where I came from...
As far as the mind leads,
Beyond seven seas,
As far as you believe,
Beyond what the eye sees,
There's an Empire Rising...
Digital illusions,
Ghosts within the engines,
Religion of solution,
And the Sun never sets
on this Empire...
