Ramayana Centre

Ramayana Centre

The Ramayana Centre [http://www.ramayanacentre.org] was founded in 2001 by an act passed in the National Assembly of the Republic of Mauritius to promote and propagate the Ramayana and the spiritual, social and cultural values flowing therefrom. This is a unique and rare milestone in the history of the Indian Diaspora. Prior to this, no parliament of any country had enacted a Bill or set up an institution for the dissemination of the perennial values of the Ramayana.

The Bill was unanimously approved on May 22, 2001 and was proclaimed as an Act by the President of the Republic on June 14, 2001. It was published in the "Government Gazette" No. 64 on June 30, 2001.

The president of the Ramayana Centre is Pandit Rajendra Arun, well-known scholar of the Ramayana and author of several books on various characters of the Ramayana.
