“Ancient seekers asked their teachers the same big questions children save for bedtime. A calm, thoughtful way into scriptures many families know only by name.”
A boy meets Death. A king begs a cart puller for wisdom.
Tales from the Vedas and Upanishads is a collection of 25 ancient Indian stories of seeking and questioning, retold for children.
Inside are tales of seekers and their quests, from a boy's meeting with the Lord of Death to Thunder's message for gods, demons and humans. In one story, Uttanka studies with Guru Gautama for so long that his hair turns grey. Each tale closes with Daaji's own thoughts, to help children with everyday challenges.
