The Myths you thought you knew-and those you never heard
In the Hindu tradition, storytelling is seen as a sacred act. It is not merely the telling of events or the recounting of history but a way of transmitting knowledge, values, and spiritual insight. The stories are crafted to engage the listener on multiple levels-intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. On the surface, they may appear to be simple tales of gods, kings, and sages. But as one delves deeper, the layers of meaning begin to unfold, revealing profound philosophical truths and pathways to self-realisation.
Some stories echo through the ages, shaping civilizations. Others lie hidden, waiting to be rediscovered. Both come together in Epic Katha, a thoughtfully curated collection bridging the familiar and the forgotten. Here, you'll find cherished tales such as Krishna Lifts Govardhan Hill and Yama Enlightens Nachiketa, alongside lesser-known gems like The Princess Who Travelled Across Time, Navagunjara: The Many Within the One and Rama Meets Shiva.
A story is only as powerful as the way it's told-and Deepam Chatterjee, with his deep knowledge and contagious passion for Indian Mythology, shares narratives that are both engaging and thought provoking.
These stories aren't just echoes of the past, they offer timeless insights into the world we live in. Whether you are revisiting legends or discovering lost tales for the first time, Epic Katha will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
