Bhagavatam Tales - Book 1

“The multi-volumed Bhagavatam Tales fills me with admiration, and also regret. Why during my childhood was such an inspiring publication not available? The textual and visual quality are first-class. Oh, as a child who read encyclo-pedias from cover to cover, if only I had access to such an exquisite production, how my reading smartness as well as my spiritual perception would have both increased.”

“I am so impressed with the production of Bhagavatam Tales. It is a most brilliant collection, because all the stories, history, personalities and lessons contained in the original Bhagavatam are now so beautifully presented for our young ones to engage with. My sincere thanks to Gauranga Darshan Das for his effort on this series. Much like his other outstanding publications, I am sure it will be a worldwide favorite and I look forward to reading them to my grandchildren.”

““In an increasingly degrading world, today’s teenagers are practically bereft of our age-old values of selflessness, respect for elders, tolerance etc. Gauranga Darshan Das has done an extraordinary service by providing a very interesting and enlightening book for our teenagers. This powerful attempt at providing real knowledge in a most appropriate manner must be commended.”

“Bhagavatam Tales is a great collection to a child’s library. It exposes them to profound wisdom in a very child-friendly manner and yet retains the depth of the original text.”

“Bhagavatam Tales is an interesting read for children. It depends their value system, helps them develop an authentic understanding of scriptures and rejuvenates their thought process.”

“The Bhagavata Purana is an ocean of informative, edifying, and enjoyable stories. In Bhagavatam Tales for children, Gauranga Darshan Das has made these stories accessible to younger readers with the added delight of attractive illustrations..”

“Bhagavatam Tales is a beautifully illustrated bouquet of children books that will enliven the stories from Bhagavata Mahapurana before young minds that will live with them for life. They will surely treasure and enjoy these pearls of wisdom. These books by Gauranga Darshan Das show us how to bring value education in our school education system as recommended by the new National Education Policy. A most valued possession for children, as well as parents.”

“Srimad Bhagavatam is a masterpiece in itself and should be available to everyone, especially children who are lacking values. Srimad Bhagavatam, in a very wonderful, sweet, heart-touching and heart-transforming way, is being presented by Gauranga Darshan Das, who is living Srimad Bhagavatam, completely soaked in Srimad Bhagvatam. That’s why he has the highest authority to present the Bhagavatam in such a simple yet comprehensible way. It is certainly a praiseworthy service done by him. I request everyone to kindly impart the teachings of Srimad Bhagvatam through these Bhagavatam Tales by Gauranga Darshan Das.”

“Interestingly narrated stories help us relate with the characters, and apply the lessons that teach us. The book Bhagavatam Tales is an inspiring read for children & parents. ”

“The Lord’s pastimes are sweet, and their meanings deep, which have been revealed so simply and colourfully in the illustrated Bhagavatam tales. Children, open the book and see the blue boy jump into your hearts and stay with you forever. ”

“Bhagavatam Tales is a fascinating book of sacred stories with a lucid language, historical accuracy, fabulous illustrations and engaging activities that inspire and nourish the mind. Kudos to author Gauranga Darshan for this marvellous effort to make scriptural wisdom accessible to younger generation.”

“By his lucid narration of the Bhagavatam Tales, author Gauranga Darshan Das presents valuable lessons for the younger generation. It’s a great pleasurable experience for children to read Bhagavatam stories in such a simple-to-digest form. While the bright illustrations make the tales live, the activities inspire the readers of all ages.”

“As a mother and a teacher, I express my deep gratitude to Gauranga Darshan Prabhu for writing the timely book “Bhagavatam Tales” precisely fills the needs of young minds. Whether you have a child who is too young to read, a beginning reader or a fluent reader, parents and teachers can use this book to narrate or read stories with their wards. Most importantly the values and thought-provoking activities at the end of each chapter set the stage for the teacher as to how to teach the story in a way that exemplifies the character trait of the protagonist. Ultimately, we want our children to grow up with impeccable character who contribute fully to their communities, small and large, in a positive and impactful way. What better resource can we have than planting the seed of the wisdom of the Bhagavatam through stories at a young age? Giving the kids space to explore the Bhagavatam in this way with illustrated books, provides a strong foundation to ensure that the Bhagavatam will remain their best friend and guide throughout their lives.”
