I haven't seen them both totally. Still Mahabharat is way bigger and longer than Ramayana. Still I will prefer Ramayana!
I like the story of both. Because both stories can make us know about the meaning of life in the world.
I think it is easier to grasp the lessons from RAMAYANA, but MAHABHARATA is a much more complex story and can be interpreted many ways. I personally like both in each their own as I read them.
actually I like ramayana story but Mahabarath remembering me to my mother because when I still a kid mahabarath be my story tell every night so I chose Mahabarath
I prefer Ramayana instead of Mahabharata because of the roles and characters of Ramayana is more inspiring.
