Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of TALES OF KING VIKRAM AND BETAAL THE VAMPIRE is anicon of Indian storey telling, a brain teaser. Although there are 32 stories 25are covered in Betal Panchisi. I will be sharing with you shortly, some of thestories that are available with me. I am sure, after some time my colleaguewill definitely let me know the stories which I could not lay hand and help mein endeavoring my efforts.A very famous account of human and vetal interaction is chronicled in theBetaal pachisi ('Twenty Five Tales Of The Vampire) which consist of twentyfive tales chronicling the adventures of King Vikramaditya and how his witswere pitted against a vetal a sorcerer had asked him to capture for him.Vetals have great wisdom and insight into the human soul in addition to beingable to see into the past and future and are thus very valuable acquisitions towise men.This particular vetal inhabited a tree in a crematorium/graveyard and the onlyway it could be captured was by standing still and completely silent in themiddle of the graveyard/crematorium. However, every single time the kingtried this vetal would tempt him with a story that ended in a question theanswering of which King Vikramaditya could not resist. As a result the vetalwould re-inhabit the tree and the king was left to try again.Only after relating twenty five tales does the vetal allow the king to bear himback to the sorcerer, hence the name Betaal pachisi.The vetal informs the king of the treacherous sorcerers' true intentions. Thesorcerer means to trick Vikramaditya, possessor of thirty two virtues, andsacrifice him to a Goddess which would give him control over the vetal and hiskind.The vetal advises the king to ask the sorcerer how to pay his respects to theGoddess (which the sorcerer would ask him to do and use this opportunity tosacrifice him) and behead him while he is distracted. On following the vetal'sadvice the king is blessed and granted a boon by Lord Indra. The king wishes2the sorcerer to come back to life and wishes that henceforth he would havethe help and advice of the vetal whenever he needed it.The Betaal Pansihi was originally written in Sanskrit and is said to be theinspiration for the Arabian Nights and subsequent collections of fantasticmythological tales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TALES OF KING VIKRAM AND BETAAL THE VAMPIREOnce upon a time there was a king named Vikramaaditya who ruled Pratisthana on the river Godavari. He was a mighty and glorious king. Everyday when he used to hold public court,a beggar used to come along and present a fruit to the king and this went on for a couple of years when curiosity got the better of the king.The king used to pass on the fruit to his treasurer who used to throw them all inthe storage. On hearing of the king's curiosity, the treasurer was surprised tosee the storage full of emeralds and pearls and the fruit had disintegrated. Hereported this to the king. The king questioned the beggar the next day aboutthis. On hearing this, the beggar requested the help from the king for a magicspell he was going to perform. The king was asked to meet him at nightfall ofthe fourteenth night of the dark moon near the cremation ground. The king did as told and found the beggar there. The beggar was drawing a magic circle and all around were the howling noises of vampires, ghosts and other nightlycreatures. The beggar asked the king to go further deep into the woods andbring the corpse, which was haging upside down on a tree.The king found the corpse for sure, but as he started lifting it and taking itdown he realised that it was possessed by a vampire. Everytime the king talked the vampire jumped back the tree. In the end, the king jumped up sliently and brought the corpse down. The vampire then started telling him a story. In the end of the story, he asked a puzzle to the king related to story. As soon as the king finished his answer, he fled back to the top of the tree. This happened 24times. But for the 25th time, the question was so tough that the king could not answer. These 25 stories are very famous in Indian literature, known as Vikram-Betaal tales. On the end of the 25th tale, the vampire cautioned the king thatthe beggar would ask him to rest on a piece of wood when he would besacrificed. In that situation the vampire asked the king to let the beggar showthe way and asked the king to get rid of the evil beggar. So did the king. And the vampire granted the king for a boon. The king requested that the storieswhichever were told to him, be told time and again in history and wherever these stories are told vampires would not dare. Hence the famous Vikram-Betaal stories.As a sample, here we present the last of the stories, which the king could notanswer. Betaal said, "Once there was a king in the South who had lot of relatives. The relatives were always hungry after the throne. So once they usurped the throne, and the king had to flee the kingdom with his wife and daughter. They travelled through dense forests. In one area which was occupied by barbarians, he adivsed his wifeand daughter to hide behind a bush while he fought the robbers but died a tragicdeath. The queen and the daughter wept for their king.In the meantime, a peasent and his son came to the forest on horses. They sawthe foorprints of the ladies, and were impressed. The son decided to marry thelady with the smaller feet while the father decided to marry the lady with thebigger feet. Upon a distance they saw the queen and the daughter. The peasenttalked smoothly with the ladies and consoled them and heard their story afterconvincing them that they were not robbers. The peasant and the son thenbrought the two ladies home and told them of the plan of marriage. Theyconsented. But alas, the bigger feet belonged to the daugher and the smallerfeet belonged to the mother. So the son married the mother and the fathermarried the daughter.Betaal then asks this question: How are the children born on both the sidesrelated to one another?Vikram was speechless as he could not get any satisfactory answer. So theBetaal could not escape this time. The stories of TALES OF KING VIKRAM AND BETAAL THE VAMPIRE is anicon of Indian storey telling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Extraordinary . . . No one but Chaim Potok could have written this strangely sweet, compelling, and deeply felt novel.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer In his powerful My Name is Asher Lev, Chaim Potok gave the world an unforgettable character and a timeless story that The New York Times Book Review hailed as “little short of a work of genius.” The Chicago Sun-Times declared it “a story that had to be told.” Now, Chaim Potok’s beloved character returns to learn, to teach, to dream, in The Gift of Asher Lev. Twenty years have passed. Asher Lev is a world-renowned artist living with his young family in France. Still, he is unsure of his artistic direction. Success has not brought ease to his heart. Then Asher’s beloved uncle dies suddenly, and Asher and his family rush back to Brooklyn—and into a world that Asher thought he had left behind forever. It is a journey of confrontation and discovery as Asher purges his past in search of new inspiration for his art and begins to understand the true meaning of sacrifice and the painful joy in sharing the most precious gift of all. Praise for The Gift of Asher Lev “A masterwork.”—Newsday “Rivals anything Chaim Potok has ever produced. It is a book written with passion about passion. You’re not likely to read anything better this year.”—The Detroit News “Fascinating.”—The Washington Post Book World “Very moving.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
