Book Description
Poorni tried hard to recollect the name of Vedavyasa’s mother but failed. Her grandma, Dodda, nodded her head and gave out the answer. What followed was more questions. Does Brahma see a new universe every single day in his 100 year-life-span? How did Vishnu tackle plagiarism of his Vedas? Was the last Pandava warrior, who escaped Brahmastra, killed by an eight-year-old boy’s curse? Is North star named after Dhruva, who did penance at the age of five? Why did Vaivasvata Manu want his baby’s gender changed? Was Chandra cursed to wax and wane by his father-in-law? How did a King give birth to a baby, when such medical miracles were unheard of in those ages? Poorni found answers in the form of stories. When she started to read more, she found an interesting connection between the Puranas and the present-day life. Such stories gave birth to the book, Ishanu Tales. It is a collection of select stories from Srimadbhagavata, one of the eighteen puranas, revered in Hindu philosophy. The Bhagavata comprises of 12 Skandas (volume of books), which include a wide range of topics including cosmology, astronomy, genealogy, culture. This book covers some of the interesting stories on creation of universe, genealogy of Suryavamshis (solar dynasty) and the Chandravamshis (lunar dynasty) and also on various forms that Vishnu takes to restore peace and righteousness (Dharma).

Book Description
Hindu children become familiar at their mothers' knees with these stories, and are trained to answer questions on them, subtly chosen to suit their ages and call into action their mental faculties. Appealing to them as an amusing game, in which they vie with each other in trying to solve the problems presented for their consideration, the boys and girls, who are educated together till they are ten or twelve years old, early learn to concentrate their attention; whilst the simultaneous development of all their powers is encouraged and they are, imperceptibly to themselves led to control their thoughts and emotions from within, instead of having to obey orders which they do not understand from without. They realize indeed, whilst still in the nursery, the ideal suggested by the sage Vidura in the Mahabharata: "Seek to know thyself by means of thyself, keeping thy mind, intellect and senses, under control; for self is thy friend as it is also thy foe."
