"The character of Lakshmanji in Ramkatha is the most bizarre, the most unique and the most different. He is not only the younger brother of Shri Ram, but also his companion and follower, life and soul, friend and devotee, and mirror and reflection. In fact they are his everything.The lives of both are bound by the unbreakable thread of love and trust, where there is no scope for any kind of distance, concealment and separation. It is rare to find such a character in the history of the world, who has completely immersed his existence in the service of his elder and has found the blessedness and meaning of his life in that.Laxman was great warrior, intelligent, religious, ethical, scientist, eloquent, visionary, service-oriented, soulful, Jitendriya, supreme restraint, recluse and virtuous, as well as expert in many arts. He was the embodiment of sacrifice, service and dedication.This book is mainly based on Ramcharitmanas, but help has also been taken from Valmiki Ramayana as per requirement. Maharishi Valmiki has very vividly described some of Laxmanji's qualities, such as-service, skill in making Parnakuti, loyalty to Purusharth, the art of boosting the morale of Shriram, who was upset at Sitaji's separation, etc.Yashogatha of Lakshmanji is divided into seventeen chapters. The name of each chapter has been kept on the basis of half of a particular chaupai and the order of chapters has been fixed according to the order of chaupais in Ramcharitmanas."
