Book Description
Philosophy, ritual and mythology are the three pillars of ancient
religions. This Book includes stories from both of the great epics
of India-the Ramayana and the Mahabharata And through these stories
we are introduced to two great Avatars of the Hindu tradition--Rama
and Krishna.The common message that runs through the stories, which
is very relevant in the present day world is:No matter how hopeless
thing may seem, eventually righteousness prevails over unrighteousness,
virtue defeats vice. Wonderful colour illustrations by noted Artists
enrich this wonderful Book.
