Tutor’s note:

I learnt the Shata Shloki Ramayana during Chaitra Navaratri, year - 2019. There after, any event that called to remembering Rama, I would chant the Shata Shloki Ramayana as it took only about half an hour, additionally I was also taught few preliminary steps to chanting the text as well as a few steps to complete the recitation in an authentic and fruitful manner. I would like to share with you all the learning of this text in it's complete essence.
