About the Book:
This book is a compilation of stories from Sanskrit classics, each representing moral and spiritual lessons taught by Hinduism. According to Sister Nivedita, these stories have been the "Cradle tales of Hinduism," passed down through generations, often uttered in song and story.
The collection was inspired by a challenge made by Lord Curzon, which led to the creation of this book. These stories, featuring heroes, martyrs, kings, sages, and saints, are part of India's rich heritage. The collection contains nineteen stories, including tales of:
- Krishna and Sudama
- Draupadi and her Akshayapatra
- Raja Harishchandra
- Shibirraja
- Nala and Damayanti
- Satyavan and Savitri
- Sukanya and others
These stories encapsulate the moral teachings and spiritual depth of Hinduism.
