Introduction

This book is radically different from the body of literature that exists on Indian mythology. Various versions of this extraordinary text have appeared all over the world in many different languages and forms. This delightful selection of poems endeavours to preserve the essence and trenchant philosophy of the original text in a dazzlingly original and imaginative style.

Men Mammals and Morals

A haunting rhapsody of imagination, part epic, part philosophy, part fable, has as its central theme the holistic development of the human psyche.

Perspectives on the Panchatantra

The Panchatantra can be viewed from two perspectives. The first perspective is that of simple but engaging fables which sometimes raise a chuckle and help pass time. The second perspective is that of a deeper import or meaning which can be applied to life.
