Srimad Bhagavad Gita (Translation)

Why was Airavat feeling guilty? Where did he go and hide? What curse did Durvasa Muni inflict on the Devatas? Was Indra happy to find his favourite elephant? Spiritual seeker and author Shubha Vilas has simplified this lesser-known tale of Indra and Airavat the Elephant in his inimitable style. The easy flowing language and wonderful illustrations add to the charm and make it a prized possession in one’s personal collection.

This story is derived from the epic poems Mangal Kavyas dedicated to folk deities in medieval Bengal. These were chanted at religious gatherings to propagate faith towards a deity. The story of the Saviour Goddess Chandi centres around a wealthy merchant and his two wives. When their husband is away, the elder wife ill-treats the younger one. Some divine girls advise the younger wife to worship the benevolent Goddess Chandi. What follows is a tale of devotion and faith, but it also involves a woman’s wisdom and ability to take thoughtful decision at testing times. Interestingly, this story portrays that god and man are bound in a network where both are dependent on each other. Till the end, the plot is so unpredictable that the reader remains engrossed in it.

In Timeless Tales to Ignite Your Mind, national author Shubha Vilas revives our ancient tradition of sharing wisdom through storytelling.
