"The Riddle of Rama and Krishna" is to be found as an appendix to the larger volume "Riddles in Hinduism" that Dr. Ambedkar wrote and that he calls “An Exposition to Enlighten the Masses"

He begins the preface with: "This book is an exposition of the beliefs propounded by what might be called Brahminic theology. It is intended for the common mass of Hindus who need to be awakened to know in what quagmire the Brahmins have placed them and to lead them on to the road of rational thinking."

He ends this preface with: "But the time has come when the Hindu mind must be freed from the hold which the silly ideas propagated by the Brahmins, have on them. Without this liberation India has no future. I have undertaken this task knowing full well what risk it involves. I am not afraid of the consequences. I shall be happy if I succeed in stirring the masses."

In producing this audio book, "The Riddle of Rama and Krishna" I am only fulfilling Babasaheb's intent to stir said masses. Seeing as it is, that the Brahmins have abandoned their Vedic Gods and have consciously and single mindedly focused on the Kshatriya Gods Rama and Krishna to keep the masses under their thumb, it seemed appropriate to me that I focus on these two, and by giving new life to this writing by Babasaheb, open the eyes of our Bahujan community as to how they continue to be deceived and misguided by the Brahmins.

That and one more thing - The Riddle of Rama and Krishna is also a must for all the Hare Ram and Hare Krishna Followers. My hope for them is that they find better masters to follow, or rather just one. One who has taught Maitri, Universal Compassion as his doctrine – The Buddha.

Jai Bhim! Namo Buddhaya!
