Produktbeschreibung
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.

Autorenporträt
Radhakrishnan is a traveller, storyteller and a seeker of stories. In a corporate career of four decades, he travelled all over India listening and accumulating stories. He loves to explore the similarities in the many versions found in the different regions of India and the lessons they teach even as they entertain. This book brings alive these stories from the folktales, epics and the songs that Indians have been telling or singing over the centuries. They bring to life an ageless, ancient and yet timeless India. Radhakrishnan now lives in the beautiful city of Cochin in the state of Kerala with his family.
