	Swami Rama Tirtha's Biography
		Swami Rama Tirtha, previously known as Gossain Tirtha Rama, was born in 1873, at Murariwala, a village in the district of Gujranwala, Punjab, India.
		Swami Rama Tirtha, a direct descendant of Gosain Tulsi Das, the immortal author of the widely read Hindi Ramayan, was born in 1873, at Muraliwala, in the district of Gujranwala, Punjab.
		Rama Tirtha infused in the minds of people a new joy, a happy conviction that it was not for nothing that we lived in a miserable earth, and that we did not, after a long struggle in the sea of life, reach a waterless desert where our sorrows would be repeated.

		The "Rama" of the title is the starship, which is initially mistaken for an asteroid and named after the Hindu deity Rama.
		Rama is, in design, similar to an O'Neill habitat, with a large cylindrical interior that rotates to provide approximately one gee of artificial gravity.
		The initial search program that detects Rama in the first two chapters of the book, Project Spaceguard, is a program to detect near-Earth objects on Earth-impact trajectories, initiated after a fictional disastrous asteroid strikes Italy on September 11, 2077, destroying Padua and Verona, and sinking Venice.

	Novels: Arthur C. Clarke & Gentry Lee: The Rama Series (1973-94) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Rama series consists of one volume by Arthur C. Clarke, Rendezvous With Rama (1973), and three volumes co-authored with Gentry Lee, Rama II (1989), The Garden of Rama (1991), and Rama Revealed (1994).
		Since one of the only things that is discovered about the makers of Rama, as the craft is baptized, is that they do things in threes, the end suggests that two more craft may appear.
		The areas that are explored in depth are the more melodramatic experiences of the second group of explorers, who are left behind in the second Rama craft, and the political and social consequences of the discovery of life in the universe.

		Sure, there were a lot of interesting ideas brought up in the end, but I was very disappointed with the theological aspect of the novel.
		While this last installment of the RAMA tales holds all the magic of the past 3 books, it also holds some very real, if disapointing truths about mankind.
		We are not the creators chosen race, indeed, we are simply an eliment in one universe of many by which the creator seeks a simplicity only a god may aspire to.

		Clarke’s few drawbacks, and it is apparent in the original Rendezvous with Rama, the story of humanity’s first encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence, in the form of a mysterious and apparently derelict alien spacecraft.
		It wouldn’t hurt to subtitle it, “The Adventures of Nicole des Jardins.” In fact, I wonder whether some of the problems male readers have with these books stems from difficulty identifying with the female main character, whose central concerns for much of her life are her children.
		In contrast, Lee’s “gritty cynicism” worldview dominates much of the background and the middle part of the story, in which the most base and regrettable characteristics of humanity are showcased again and again as the human colony gradually destroys the paradise that was created for them.

	Ramayana
		Rama is the transcendental Self and Lakshmana, Bharata and Satrughna (Rama’s three brothers) are the triple manifestations of God as immanent, God as in-dwelling spirit, and God as soul, respectively.
		Sri Rama also knew that Dharma stands for the proper observation of rites and ceremonies that are ordained by the scriptures and it also signifies the merit one acquires by the performance of religious rites.
		By using imagination, she took refuge with that lion among men, Rama, her mind a chariot drawn by the steeds of resolution and that charming princess, devoted to Rama (her husband), emaciated, weeping, separated from her kinsfolk, was a prey to anxiety and grief and saw no end to her misfortune.

		Like all the other books in the "Rama Series" it had my imagination running in "over drive" from the very first chapter.
		Meine Erfahrungen: In the Rama series, each book seems to get richer and more intriguing than the last, and this book more than fulfills the reader's expectations as the conclusion of the series.
		The other alien environment in Rama on this journey (sessiles & myrmicats) is a wonderful work of imagination.

	Amazon.de: Rendezvous with Rama.: English Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		I've read reviews of Rama II,etc, and most of them (okay,almost all of them) were negative.No wonder, since Clarke edited Rama II then had no involvement whatsoever in the rest.
		I selected "Rendezvous With Rama" as one of the novels for my first Science Fiction class as an example of the "hard science" sub-genre of the field even though it is admittedly atypical.
		The other three books were co-written by Clarke with Gentry Lee and essentially they answer the questions raised by "Rendezvous With Rama." However, I liked the way this novel ended, with the explorers convinced the glass was half empty at best because of their inability to understand everything they found inside Rama.

		There she is reunited with her husband, but pursuit is not far behind and they are forced to flee to the subterranean corridors of New York inhabited by the menacing octospiders.
		There's no denying it, and so, in Rama, you expect the detail of the spaceship to be intricate, the ideas to be creative and diverse, and the storyline to twist and turn, fully exploring human interaction with science fiction scenarios.
		The final book in the Rama series is one which is approached by the readers of the saga quite gingerly, maybe even reluctantly.

		Rama II I have decided to review them together - as they should be read together and right after each other.
		Garden of Rama (GoR) takes off where Rama II ended - as you may remember Richard, Michael and Nicole were left in the second Raman ship as it was leaving the solar system.
		The only problems I have with this part, is a problem that I had throughout both books - namely Nicole and her extremely long and boring stories about her childhood - at one point I was so tired of this that I wanted to hunt down her fictious ass and kick it really hard.

		In the year 2130 a mysterious spaceship, Rama, arrived in the solar system.
		By the time Rama departed for its next unknown destination, many wonders had been uncovered, but few mysteries solved.
		Only one thing was clear: everything the enigmatic builders of Rama did, they did it in threes.

		In the year 2130, a spacecraft of unknown origin - dubbed Rama - passes through our solar system, inaugurating a new era in the history of humankind - for the first time there is undeniable evidence that we are not alone.
		And it masterfully handles the characterization of the astronauts sent out to enter and investigate the mysterious "Rama" with is interior bodies of water and a metallic island.
		RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA is now over thirty years old, but this science fiction novel isn't showing its age (although some of the aside mentions of polygamous relationships are attempting to sound modern and forward-thinking, yet instead end up seeming rather quaint).

	Rama Revealed: The Ultimate Encounter (Gentry Lee , Arthur C. Clarke)
		I was hoping for an alien face behind Rama, not the fantastical idea that stewed in Clarke's brain and seemed a little out of his grasp.
		If you were captivated by the Rama universe as I was, do yourself a favor and stop with the third book ("Garden of Rama").
		Discovering what happens to Nicole is not worth it (and her fate is quite possibly worse than you might imagine).

		I never heard a bad word spoken about the Rama series, however I found this book to be somewhat lacking in certain aspects.
		When problems start occuring within the colony, the human leaders look outward and go to war with the other aliens on the Rama vessel as a means of diverting attention away from the internal conflict destroying the colony.
		This by no means should discourage you from reading the book, it is a wonderful conclusion to a great science fiction series which touches many philosophical areas in an easy to grasp manner.

		The mystery of Rama is cleverly revealed over the books, with many genius ideas of alien culture, society and theology.
		The books themselves would be so difficult to be put into films as there's so much going on, so many new characters commnig and going throughout the book, that the storyline would become a soap more than a storyline.
