When Vishnu returned to Vaikuntha after his Krishna avatar, Brahma, the creator, began to worry about the earth. Without Vishnu, he was afraid, chaos would ensue. So he and his son Narada, the wandering sage, set in motion a plan to get Vishnu to return to earth. A talking anthill, an arrogant sage, an irate cowherd and even the asura king Ravana, each have their parts to play in these stories that describe the founding of the Venkateshwara temple at Tirupati. Set amongst the lovely Tirumala hills, this temple to Lord Vishnu, is one of the most beautiful temples in the world. It is said that more than 50,000 people visit this shrine every day, to pray to Venkateshwara to wash away their sins.

BUDDHIST STORIES HC

Gautam Buddha was one of the most exceptional of free thinkers. His teachings influenced millions of people. This Amar Chitra Katha's book is a compilation of stories about Buddhism. The first tells the story of Buddha himself and his journey to enlightenment. Angulimala is the story of a murderous dacoit whose life changed when he met Buddha. Amrapali, the dancer, had the world at her feet but chose to give up all and follow Buddha. The ugly but wise King Kusha wins the love of his wife, Princess Prabhavati, through perseverance. The Acrobat and Other Buddhist Tales are invaluable.
