Book excerpt: An elephant is just not an animal alone, it is carrying on its shoulders about the elephants of their stories and experiences to share with us. It does not like it to be portrayed as an animal in schools for the fancy dress competitions alone, it wants it to be heard! They have thoughts and emotions too. They aren’t a mere object to be identified as, “e for elephant,” nor as a picture to be coloured in the crafts or drawing classes. They want us to hear about their evolution, what does a family mean to them, what it is being a friend, what it is being grounded despite their gigantic figure, what it is being treated as an object of display in a zoo, what it is being vulnerable, what it is losing a part of them to the Human’s thirst, and, why they behave the way they do when harmed or when we step into their boundary? The stories are endless, You would feel all these emotions as you flip through the leaflets. This book was conceptualised by Pachyderm tales and created by Mayaakatha.

Book Synopsis Sacred Animals of India by : Nanditha Krishna
Download or read book Sacred Animals of India written by Nanditha Krishna and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animals are worshipped in India in many ways: as deities—the elephant-god Ganesha and the monkey-god Hanuman; as avatars—like Vishnu’s fish, tortoise and boar forms; and as vahanas—the swan, bull, lion and tiger were all vehicles of major deities and are thus sacred by association. Some animals, like the snake, are worshipped out of fear. Birds such as the crow are associated with the abode of the dead, or the souls of ancestors, while the cow’s sanctity may derive from its economic value. There are also hero-animals, such as the vanaras, and animals which were totemic symbols of tribes that were assimilated into Vedic Hinduism. Sacred Animals of India draws on the ancient religious traditions of India—Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism—to explore the customs and practices that engendered the veneration of animals in India. This book also examines the traditions that gave animals in India protection, and is a reminder of the role of animal species in the earth’s biodiversity.

The hero Rama's primary purpose in the battle is to rescue the abducted princess Sita and destroy the demon king. However, the confrontation also marks the turning point for the divine mission of the Ramavatara, the incarnation of Lord Visnu as a human prince, who will restore righteousness to a world on the brink of chaos. The book ends with the gods' revelation to Rama of his true divine nature, his emotional reunion with his beloved wife, his long-delayed consecration as king of Kosala, and his restoration of a utopian age. The Yuddhakanda contains some of the most extraordinary events and larger-than-life characters to be found anywhere in world literature.
