365 Stories from the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Puranas

This book introduces children to the rich treasury of Indian wisdom and cultural heritage through the 365 handpicked tales, one for each day of the year, from the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Puranas. The collection is faithful to the ancient texts available and presents them in a simple and concise form suited to the young reader. The beautiful illustrations bring to life the gods and demons, the benign and cruel kings, the sky-spirits and animals that populate its pages and send across messages to children-inspiring them, cautioning them, and charging them. The philosophy of our enlightened sages encourages one to think deeply and imbibe the unique values and morals presented in each story. For adults too, it can be a reminder of values getting hazy.
