Panchatantra stories are one of the most widely translated books in history and are known for their wisdom on practical life. The stories are delightfully narrated, with animals and birds often being the central characters. Thus they provide valuable life lessons in a light-hearted manner.The Elephants And The Mice is a story about friendship..Free activity sheet available at https://www.rituvaish.com/the-elephants-and-the-miceSend your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.com. TranscriptThere was a village that was left by its people after it was shattered by an earthquake. However, the mice living in the village decided to stay and make it their home.Children, do you think there were some other animals that made this village their home?Yes, it could be bats, mongoose, hawks, etc.On the outskirts of this village, there was a lake, where a herd of elephants visited regularly to bathe and drink water. Since the village was on the way to this lake, the elephants trampled the mice while walking there.So, the king of mice decided to meet the elephants. He told them, ” O elephants, as you travel through the village, many mice are trampled. We will be very grateful if you could please consider changing your route. We will remember and return the favour when you are in need.”The elephant king laughed, “We are giant elephants. What favour can you mice return? Nevertheless, we honour your request and change our route.”Children, if there was only one way to the pond and that was through the village, can you suggest another solution?That's great.Now listen ahead..After a few days, the elephants got trapped and entangled in nets that were set up by hunters. They struggled hard to escape, but in vain. The elephant king remembered the promise made by the king of mice. So, he sent a fellow elephant who got lucky and was not trapped, to ask the mice king to come and help them.Soon, all the mice came and started nibbling the nets, and freed the elephants. The king of the elephants couldn't thank the mice enough!Moral of the Story: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Always be kind to people, and grateful for their help.

Since it was only half-done; he placed a wedge in between to prevent the log from closing up. He then went off along with the other workers for his meal.When all the workers were gone, the monkeys came down from the trees and started jumping around the site and playing with the instruments.Children, what instruments does a carpenter use?Yes! Measuring tape, hand saw, screwdriver etc.There was one monkey, who got curious about the wedge placed between the log. He sat down on the log, and having placed himself in between the half-split log, caught hold of the wedge and started pulling at it.All of a sudden, the wedge came out. As a result, the half-split log closed in and the monkey got caught in the gap of the log.As was his destiny, he was severely wounded.The wise indeed say:One, who interferes in other's work, surely comes to grief.

Today's story- The Blue Jackal is from the Panchatantra. It's a story about a jackal who acts like someone else and tries to rule the forest, but does he succeed? Listen to the story to find out.Free activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/archive-panchatantra-the-blue-jackalSend your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.com.TranscriptOnce there was an adventurous jackal in a forest who frequently strayed into the neighbouring village looking for food. The village was filled with dogs that scared the jackal. Although he was scared of the dogs, the jackal loved food and travelled to the city again and again.One day, as he was going to enter a house, he heard barking. He was shocked to find a gang of dogs running towards the house. They looked violent and caused the jackal to panic. In a hurry, he ran to the next house he saw open. It happened to be the house of a washerman. Scared, the jackal tumbled into a tub of indigo, the blue dye used for bleaching clothes. The dogs couldn't see the jackal and they ran another way. Children, what colour was the jackal now?Let's listen ahead. The jackal came back to the forest with his body dyed in blue. He appeared very different from any other animal. With his cunning mind at work, he was pleased as no one would be able to recognize him and he could easily fool anyone in the jungle.Just like he had thought, everyone in the forest was surprised to see such an unusual animal.When the lions, tigers, panthers, wolves and other animals in the forest saw him, they were frightened and ran in all directions. They thought to themselves, "We do not know his power and strength. It is better we keep a distance from him. Haven't the elders warned us not to trust strangers?”Finally, the lions and the tigers gathered courage and asked who he was and who had sent him.“I have been sent by God himself to look after you. I will now be the king of the jungle,” the jackal said.The lion protested, “Don't you know, I have always been the king of the forest.”“From now, that must change and all of you must serve me” The Jackal said happily.Some animals like the tiger protested and asked what would happen if they didn't obey him. He replied, “God would destroy the entire forest if you all didn't obey me.”Scared for their lives and their forest, the animals asked the blue Jackal what he would like them to do.“Bring me lots of food,” said the blue jackal promptly.The animals quickly scurried and returned with lots of food for the Jackal.He had so much food that he gave his leftovers to the other animals and said, “ You must serve me fresh food every day. Hope that is clear.”He even threw out the pack of jackals from the forest because he knew that they could identify him someday.The blue Jackal was very happy with himself for fooling the entire forest and was happy to be away from the city dogs.But one day the banned pack of jackals was walking around the forest, howling loudly. The blue jackal began howling too out of habit.Because of this mistake, the lions and other animals immediately recognized that their king was after all a jackal and not a God-send creature. They at once pounced on the blue jackal and in turn, banished him from the forest forever.

In this chapter of the Panchatantra, Victor tells the story of a weaver who falls in love with a princess, who is way out of his league. To win her over, he dresses up as Vishnu, and with the help of his friend's flying Garuda machine, he is able to convince the princess that he really is Vishnu. This goes great until the king finds out about her being in love. The king thinks that Vishnu is on his side and proceeds to anger the kingdom that he should be paying tribute to. This is all done to show Cheek that sometimes even the Gods can be caught off guard when plans are well laid out.

The stories are delightfully narrated, with animals and birds often being the central characters. Thus they provide valuable life lessons in a light-hearted manner.In today's story, a merchant leaves an iron chest in the care of his friend while he travels to a neighbouring village. And returning, the friend, who was very greedy, told the merchant that the mice ate up his iron chest. To find out how does the merchant get his revenge, listen to the storyFree activity sheet available at https://www.rituvaish.com/the-mice-that-ate-iron-archiveSend your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.com.TranscriptOnce there was a rich merchant called Naduk. Time passed, and his business turned for the worse.Soon it was so bad that he not only lost all his money but also got into debt. He decided to leave the city and find his fortune in a new place. He sold all his possessions to pay off his debts.Children, what is your favourite possession, something that you would not want to let go of? All that he was left with what is a heavy iron chest.Before leaving his town, Naduk went to see his good friend Bondu. He requested him to keep the chest with him till he returned.“Of course my friend! I will keep the chest safe for you,” said Bondu.Naduk thanked him and left.He travelled far and wide for many years and worked very hard. He started trading in spices and soon all his hard work paid off and he became rich again.Children, can you name a few spices?That's nice.Happy, that he was rich again, Naduk returned to his town.He bought a new house and opened a very large shop.Bondu had also heard that Naduk was back in town and has started a new business with the money that he had earned in all these years. Bondu was getting a little jealous of Naduk. One day after work Naduk went to visit his friend Bondu who welcomed him warmly. They talked for long. As he was about to leave, Naduk asked Bondu to return his iron chest.Bondu had no intention of returning it as he knew that when he sold it, it would fetch him a good price. He put on a sad face and said, “Something bad has happened. I had kept the chest safely in my storeroom, but the mice have eaten it. I am really sorry.”Children, do you think a mouse can eat iron??Certainly not!Naduk understood what was going on in Bondu's mind.Patting Bondu's shoulder Naduk said, “Please don't feel sorry. It's not fair. It is not your fault that the mice ate the iron chest,”Bondu was pleased to see that Nadu had fallen for his lie.“How stupid can one be,” thought Bondu.Children, do you think Naduk is stupid?Listen ahead.Meanwhile, Naduk asked Bondu to send his son home with him so that he could hand over the gifts that he had brought for him.Bondu immediately asked his son Pinto to go with Naduk and fetch the gifts.Naduk took the boy home and locked him in the cellar of his house.Children, what do you think will happen now?When Pinto didn't return by evening, his father got worried and came to ask about the whereabouts of his son.Naduk said, “Oh! It was so unfortunate that while we were coming to my house, a hawk swooped and carried the boy off. I followed the hawk for some time but could not keep pace. I am sorry my friend.”On hearing this, Bondu became furious he accused Naduk of lying. He insisted that a hawk could not carry a 15-year-old boy.A quarrel started and they both went to the court“Your honour, I had sent my son with this man to fetch some gifts from his house. But my son has not returned since. This man has stolen my son,” cried Bondu.The magistrate ordered Naduk to return the boy to his father.But Naduk insisted that a hawk carried off the boy. The magistrate asked him how it was possible.To this Naduk replied, “If mice can eat up an iron chest, surely a hawk can carry off a boy!”The magistrate understood that there was more to it than meets the eye here. He asked Naduk to explain everything in detail.Naduk then narrated the entire story. Everyone in the courtroom had a good laugh. The magistrate ordered Bondu to return the iron chest to Naduk and Naduk to return Bondu's son.

The dogs couldn't see the jackal and they ran another way. Children, what colour was the jackal now?Let's listen ahead. The jackal came back to the forest with his body dyed in blue. He appeared very different from any other animal. With his cunning mind at work, he was pleased as no one would be able to recognize him and he could easily fool anyone in the jungle.Just like he had thought, everyone in the forest was surprised to see such an unusual animal.When the lions, tigers, panthers, wolves and other animals in the forest saw him, they were frightened and ran in all directions. They thought to themselves, "We do not know his power and strength. It is better we keep a distance from him. Haven't the elders warned us not to trust strangers?”Finally, the lions and the tigers gathered courage and asked who he was and who had sent him.“I have been sent by God himself to look after you. I will now be the king of the jungle,” the jackal said.The lion protested, “Don't you know, I have always been the king of the forest.”“From now, that must change and all of you must serve me” The Jackal said happily.Some animals like the tiger protested and asked what would happen if they didn't obey him. He replied, “God would destroy the entire forest if you all didn't obey me.”Scared for their lives and their forest, the animals asked the blue Jackal what he would like them to do.“Bring me lots of food,” said the blue jackal promptly.The animals quickly scurried and returned with lots of food for the Jackal.He had so much food that he gave his leftovers to the other animals and said, “ You must serve me fresh food every day. Hope that is clear.”He even threw out the pack of jackals from the forest because he knew that they could identify him someday.The blue Jackal was very happy with himself for fooling the entire forest and was happy to be away from the city dogs.But one day the banned pack of jackals was walking around the forest, howling loudly. The blue jackal began howling too out of habit.Because of this mistake, the lions and other animals immediately recognized that their king was after all a jackal and not a God-send creature. They at once pounced on the blue jackal and in turn, banished him from the forest forever.

"The Panchatantra is an allegory of humanness. Its animals are not zoomorphic; they are actually humans wearing the mask of animals. The Panchatantra is not at all concerned with morality. It doesn't say that something is right or wrong. None of the stories are judgemental. They don't tell you how to behave; they show you what behaviour is like. It's a mirror held up to humanness. That's one of the Panchatantra's biggest selling points" - Meena Arora Nayak, author of a new retelling of The Panchatantra of Vishnusharma talks to Manjula Narayan about this wonderful collection of stories first compiled around 300BCE, and how they are essentially about the human quest for happiness

Panchatantra stories are one of the most widely translated books in history and are known for their wisdom on practical life. The stories are delightfully narrated, with animals and birds often being the central characters. Thus they provide valuable life lessons in a light-hearted manner.Today's story is - The King and the ParrotsThis story tells that our environment affects our speech, our behaviour and our personality.Free activity sheet available at https://www.rituvaish.com/the-king-and-the-parrotsSend your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.com. TranscriptOnce upon a time, a tribal king who was hunting in the forest caught two parrots in his net. He was very pleased with this and thought that he would teach the parrots to talk and his children would be happy to play with the talking parrots.Children, if you had a talking parrot, what would teach him to speak?Great!As the tribal king was returning home with his catch, one of the parrots somehow escaped from the net and flew away to the other end of the forest. At the other end of the forest was a sage's hut. The parrot that escaped started living here with the sage. The other parrot was carried to the tribal king's home and he began living there with the tribal king and his family.Many months later, one day, a king from a nearby kingdom was passing through the forest on his horse. While riding, he came near the tribal king's house. As he came nearer to the house, the tribal king's parrot who was kept in a cage outside the house, started shouting loudly, “Who is there? Catch this man who is coming here and beat him black and blue.”Children, why do you think the parrot was saying such things?Let's listen ahead. The king was displeased on hearing the parrot talk in such a filthy way and decided to ride in the other direction. Soon, he reached the other end of the forest where the sage's hut was situated. When the king came closer to the hut, the sage's parrot, who was also kept in a cage outside the hut, said politely, “You are welcome, dear sir. Please come in and have a seat. Would you like a glass of water and some sweets?” After having welcomed the guest with proper manners, the parrot called out to his master, “Guruji, you have a visitor. Please take him inside and offer him some food.”The king was amazed to see the intelligence and manners of this parrot. He realized the contrast between the tribal king's parrot who was extremely rude and the sage's parrot who was polite and courteous. He understood that a good environment and training always give better results and that a man is known by the company he keeps.

She crawled around for a long time, but in vain. She couldn't find water.Children, please give ideas to the ant as to where she can find waterGreat! Let's listen ahead.By now her throat was parched. Luckily she heard the gurgling of water and rushed in that direction. Yes indeed, she reached a river. To drink the water, she climbed up on a small rock and drank to her heart's content. She took a sigh of relief and wanted to drink some more. This time, unfortunately, she slipped and fell into the river.She shouted, “ Help! Help! I am drowning!”There was a dove sitting on a branch of a tree on the bank of the river.  who saw an ant falling into the river. The dove was kind-hearted and always extended a helping hand to anyone in need. He quickly plucked a leaf and dropped it into the river near the struggling ant. The ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up onto it. Soon, the leaf drifted to dry ground, and the ant jumped out. She looked up at the tree and thanked the dove.After a few days, the dove was sitting on a tree. The ant was playing under the same tree. The ant saw a hunter aiming his arrow at the dove and guessed what he was about to do. She knew that his friend, the dove was in danger.Children, what do you think the ant would do now?Yes! She quickly rushed towards the hunter and bit him on his leg. The hunter cried in pain and his arrow missed the dove. Alarmed by the scream, the dove understood what had happened and flew away. The ant saved the dove. The dove thanked the aunt for saving her life and became friends forever.

A #Panchatantra story about a bag of gold that always returns to its rightful owner! That helps when the rightful owner is an honest farmer in a dishonest world! Transcript and show notes Music: https://www.purple-planet.com #sfipodcast #IndianFolkTales #FolkTalesOfIndia #VishnuSharma

After training at Paris's oldest couture school Sabina applied for a work placement at Alexander McQueen and there was able to hone her craft. ‘Alexander McQueen was the ultimate storyteller and everything there is hand-drawn. They sat me down at a desk and gave me a pencil.' After McQueen, she decided to go it alone printing her own designs onto silk squares. She sold these ‘to all my mum's friends', but the money funded the next collection. Sabina's designs are rich in detail, each one taking between 4 and 6 weeks. They now sell in Fortnum and Mason in the UK, and she has a big following in the US. Her latest collection, Panchatantra, is based on an ancient Indian book of moralistic animal stories. Tune in for more and visit sabinasavage.com to feast your eyes.

No matter what you do to your appearance, your true nature never changes, so it is better to embrace who you are, rather than try to be someone else. See how the fox learnt it the hard way!

You can always get out of difficult situations using wit and patience, as long as you have what it takes to take action. This story about how a couple of crows got rid of the snake shows just that.

Not everyone who smooth talks is a liar, but every lair is a smooth talker. So, when something is too good to be true, it is most likely not true. Enjoy the episode.

In this episode about a donkey and a fox, we see how there is a time and place for everything, and doing something at a wrong time could spell doom for you and everyone around you.
