: Hanuman to the Rescue - Hanuman Brings the Sanjeevani (No:15142)
: Amar Chitra Katha
:
: Rama was frantic. His beloved brother lay dying and the only cure was tucked away on a forested mountainside far, far to the north. Big-hearted Hanuman could not bear to see their pain. He swelled into a giant, he flew, he battled deadly crocodiles and murderous ogre, he pitted his wits against powerful gods, all to deliver the precious medicinal plant, sanjeevani, before it was too late. He brought the entire mountain to rest at Rama's feet!
: Tales of Shiva - The Mighty Lord of Kailasa (No:15119)
: Amar Chitra Katha
:
: From his snowy abode on Mount Kailasa Lord Shiva travelled far and wide, answering the prayers of his devotees. But he was often in disguise to ensure that his favours went only to the deserving. And so it was that he battled with the dauntless Pandava Arjuna, cast his net into the sea as he mingled with humble fisherfolk, and emerged from the sand to kick aside even the mighty Yama, god of death.
: Shiva Parvati - A Story of Divine Love (No:15124)
: Amar Chitra Katha
:
: Parvati was born a maiden of the mountains. The mighty god Shiva was practicing meditation in the dense forest. Desiring to win over Shiva, Parvati went to serve him. But Shiva paid no attention to her.
: Balarama was not only Krishna's brother, he was his right-hand man. Together they made quite a team. Balarama's amazing strength and courage made dangerous demons like Dhenukasura and Pralamba look like weaklings. He even tamed the Yamuna river which had meandered away from Vrindavan and brought it back to the people who needed it.
: Lord Shiva, it is believed, has many faces and multiple forms and each tells a tale. Visitors to an emerald-green island off the coast of Mumbai are reminded of these dramatic episodes by the work of skilful, dedicated sculptors, who lived more than 1,300 years ago! Their carvings have survived in the caves of Elephanta, despite the ravages of time and vandals and destroying armies.
: Tales from the Upanishads - Tales of Peace and Wisdom (No:15157)
: Amar Chitra Katha
:
: The word Upanishad literally means 'sit down near' for the student had to sit close to the teacher to receive instructions. Perhaps, what brought the two still closer were the stories the Guru narrated. These stories provided a meaningful context for the topics under discussion. They also demonstrate that in those days knowledge was not the monopoly of any select group. Thus Janashruti, the ruler of the land, approaches the cart driver Raikva, with humility, to seek the highest truth.
