The knowledge, the wisdom, the manners and morals, depicted in the epic tales, are our valued inheritance. Happily, this brilliant and mellifluous legacy, embedded in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, has been reinvented and retold in the present collection of epic tales.

The knowledge, the wisdom, the manners and morals, depicted in the epic tales, are our valued inheritance. Happily, this brilliant and mellifluous legacy, embedded in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, has been reinvented and retold in the present collection of epic tales. An attempt has been made in this book to retrieve the hoary past, qua the ancient tales, unknown or less known, with a view to making them known to the common citizens. The tales as implied in the title of the book “Recalling the Epic Tales,” are both spiritual and religious. Verily, they may be remote in time, but they are not remote in thought.
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 puran
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.
While studying for my class 12th board exam this year, I asked myself how can I express my understanding of the concepts I studied. The answer was, to make notes in such a way, that I could have a quick look on them any time and recall all that I had learned. So, to make comprehensible, precise and retentive revision notes was a big challenge for me. Here comes the catch! When I got succeeded in making exactly what I wanted, I thought why not share them with o
While studying for my class 12th board exam this year, I asked myself how can I express my understanding of the concepts I studied. The answer was, to make notes in such a way, that I could have a quick look on them any time and recall all that I had learned. So, to make comprehensible, precise and retentive revision notes was a big challenge for me. Here comes the catch! When I got succeeded in making exactly what I wanted, I thought why not share them with other students who find themselves in the same tricky situation. So, I modified my notes, which could be studied and understood, even by a layman person.
Since the syllabus and the pattern got changed suddenly and we were left with less time in the commencement of Term-2 board examinations, I tried to incorporate different methods like notes, acronyms, mnemonics, keywords, flowcharts, mind maps and tables for an easy understanding of myself.
I am sure this handbook of Psychology, which is a quick guide to many like me, will help other students to prepare well for their board exams.

The common populace in the Vedic and post-Vedic era, lived in SPIRITUAL INDIA. They relished the company and the companionship of the seers, and felt blessed. The sages had their hermitages, close to the populated areas, a little distance away in the deep woods, or on the mountains, near the rivers, or rivulets, or lakes. The worldly needs of the common people were too few, just meagre in the form of food, shelter and clothing. They lived a
The common populace in the Vedic and post-Vedic era, lived in SPIRITUAL INDIA. They relished the company and the companionship of the seers, and felt blessed. The sages had their hermitages, close to the populated areas, a little distance away in the deep woods, or on the mountains, near the rivers, or rivulets, or lakes. The worldly needs of the common people were too few, just meagre in the form of food, shelter and clothing. They lived a simple life in the lap of nature, enjoying the nature’s plenty. They were happy with this kind of simple and ordinary life sans any opulence. But down the millennium, things have undergone a complete metamorphosis. Spiritual India has taken a down-turn, and become Secular India. The common people, by and large, have become oblivious of their past heritage qua the sages from whom their genealogy, their lineage, emanated. People have become more materialistic, and less spiritualistic. Yet a large chunk of populace continues to follow the religious and spiritual practices, reciting Gayatri mantra, the Hanuman Chalisa, holding gatherings and listening to religious stories and discourses culled from scriptures and holy books, and performing yajnas. In this book, an attempt has been made to retrieve the learned sages, and some important mythical legends, from the hoary past to bring them closer to the present generation.
KNOW THE SEERS OF INDIA provides a deep insight into the life and relevance of some of the most significant Rishis, who founded the Hindu community. There is no gainsaying the fact that the Hindus are Rishi Santan (progeny of sages). The seers, qua the sages, of ancient India are our ancestors, our forefathers. The lineage of each Hindu family goes back to one or the other Rishi. This fact stands substantiated by sub-castes and surnames, such as Bharadwaja, Ka
KNOW THE SEERS OF INDIA provides a deep insight into the life and relevance of some of the most significant Rishis, who founded the Hindu community. There is no gainsaying the fact that the Hindus are Rishi Santan (progeny of sages). The seers, qua the sages, of ancient India are our ancestors, our forefathers. The lineage of each Hindu family goes back to one or the other Rishi. This fact stands substantiated by sub-castes and surnames, such as Bharadwaja, Kashyap, Parashar, Vashisht, and so on. And so are the Gotras named after different Rishis. The sub-castes, as also Gotras, named after renowned Rishis, accentuate and endorse the dictum that the Hindus all over the globe are the descendants of the sages.
As a Rig Vedic term, Gotra simply means “cow pen,” or “herd pf cows.” The specific meaning being “family lineage kin” (as it were herd within an enclosure). No socio-religious ritual, or rite, such as marriage, child-birth, mundan, Shraddha rites, is complete without invoking the Gotra of the family. Verily, sub-castes and Gotras identify us with the past, with the Rishis of India. This book condenses information for all who are in search of their past, their roots, their identity.
Today principal sir introduced a new teacher to the students and the staff in the morning assembly. Mrs. Komal Parashar was her name. She was totally opposite to her name, very ugly with small pits on her dark face, shapeless body and a rough voice. The whole assembly felt a great repulsion from her Read More...
