Tales from the ancient books of Hindu India: the Vedas, the Puranas, the Mahabharat and the Ramayana: are presented with a light touch and joyful graphics. This first of eight ebooks, called Stories of the Rishis, is about the sages and gurus, showing their interactions with the gods, kings, men and women of their pristine time. They differ very much from the prophets of the biblical world, being altogether less severe, non prescriptive, and humane.
