Story Time

By Dr C

Do you know that there was a "three-legged" seer, named rishi Bhringi? Perhaps you do not know. To make you "know" the "unknown," or "lesser known," is the sine qua non, nay the aim, of the book entitled "Story Time: The Puranic Wisdom." For the stories, myths, legends, tales, included in this volume, have been dug out from the holy scriptures and renowned classics. One of the characteristic beauties of the puranic and the classical literature is the happy amalgamation of nature and imagination. It is common to entertain children with stories in which birds and beasts are made to speak. But the stories of the Puranas and the epics are meant for elderly people. The usual expedient device employed is that these creatures in the previous birth, were human beings. For instance, a deer was a rishi in the previous birth, or a fox a king; the subsequent degradation being due to a curse. Each story teaches us something about life.
