Synopsis

The Rishis, the wise men of ancient India, were in a dilemma. They had compiled the Vedas, the rules of behaviour, and Dharma had been conceptualised or framed.

Dharma, you could consider as a mission statement for life.

But how to reach it to the people so they could understand? How to ensure that people listened to the lessons? One of those wise men then came up with the brilliant idea of telling stories which would interest people and also have the required knowledge to learn from.

So were born the marvellous stories or epics of Hinduism. The stories have in them ideals, morals, rules of life and so much more. It brilliantly packaged these ideals in stories that enchant and yet teach.

 

This small book has some of those stories of ancient wisdom. R.Radhakrishnan retells and interprets those tales simply and links them to our everyday life. These are tales that gently guide even as they amuse you with thier wit and imagination.
