Book Review
“Kaaljayi: Kahaniyan Vedon Puranon Se” by Chhavi Nigam, Vrishali Jain, Shikha Dwivedi, Anulata Raj Nair and Neelesh Misra written in the classic and accessible Hindi Language brings to life lesser-known stories from India’s ancient scriptures, the Vedas and Puranas. This collection of 18 stories features fascinating tales about characters like Sati Anusuya, Yayati, Narad Muni, and Dhruv, the young prince who became the shining Dhruv Tara. It also includes interesting episodes from the ‘Ramayana’ and ‘Mahabharata’, such as Arjuna’s time as Brihannala. Written in simple and engaging language, these stories help readers connect with India’s rich storytelling traditions and understand their deeper meanings.
These stories are not just about history or mythology—they carry important life lessons. They show that a story does not have to be real to be meaningful. Even imaginary or symbolic tales can teach us about truth, values, and wisdom. The book explores the deep relationship between humans, gods, nature, and the universe, reminding us that everything is connected. This is what makes these stories timeless and different from ordinary tales.
Through these stories, readers experience powerful emotions and moral dilemmas—Sita’s sorrow, Dhruv’s strong determination, and Anusuya’s devotion. The book highlights values like courage, kindness, and justice while helping us understand the difference between right and wrong. These stories are not just for entertainment; they guide us through life’s challenges and encourage us to think deeply about our choices.
