The Battle of Panchavati and Other Stories from Indian Scriptures by Divya Narain Upadhyaya

The Battle of Panchavati and Other Stories from Indian Scriptures written by Divya Narain Upadhyaya. The cover of this book looks so good and divine at the same time.


This book is the collection of short stories. The story touches the genre history and mythology to some extent.

I am really interested in Indian Mythology based stories. In this book, the author has not just touched one or two he has almost provided us with the stories from the all possible mythological aspects. The way the author portrays the fight between Lord Shiva and Sati in the first story is really good and I felt like I am listening to the story from my grandmom, which I listened when I was young.

This book has the collection of seven short stories and it touched all the core of mythology in each story. We all love to know the history and the mythology of our country and this book will help us to know that at some extent. The title has been given apt for each story. The language is very simple to read and understand and thus the stories can be easily read by the beginners as well. My favourite story is 'The cosmic dance'. I really like how the author has explained the reason why these stories and titles on the prologue.

Even though I read some mythology before I have got some new messages and knowledge from this book. I really like and also do recommend this book.

 H ow did my book-reading journey started When I was a little girl I used to see lots of regional books filled the entire shelf of my dad's room. He is very generous and will always allow me to touch those books but I was not allowed with the pen or pencil into that room. Of course due to some damage control preservation. Whenever I enter that room the old book presented in that room will give me a warm hug through its dedicated book smell. So whenever I entered that room I used to sniff those book's wonderful smell and will open those books and there I could find the coffee-stained color inner pages. When I go through those books I used to see the small classic old ads for Pond's Powder Tin, Colgate tooth powder, Hamam soap, etc.   The small tiny black letters, the yellow stained pages, and the pencil art inbetween the novels all were purely nostalgic to remember.  Since my 7th grade I started to read my regional novels and then when I hit 9th the public exam pre-coaching

INDIGO EARTH, the Golden, Satyuga, is very interesting and informative. What are the changes we expect to witness and How? Greetings. Indigo Earth is the Golden age. Mother Earth in its entirety is transiting into being the Indigo Earth. The changes are mentioned in the book. The answer to the ‘How’ makes it a guidebook. We all are an intrinsic part of this experience. The transition has begun. There are many who are like a guiding light, a light house, enabling others to transit. They are there. The transition is smooth sailing. 2. Spirituality, awakening, infinite consciousness, self-realization, nirvana are the terms which are associated with renunciation or sanyas. Is it true?  Hahaha…. It’s a lifestyle. Being in awareness of the self and living it is a lifestyle. We choose, to live a life of unconditional lov

Tales of Unstoppable Women written by Dr Urmi Thakker . The idea of creating such a book is really appreciatable. The cover looks very impressive and the images given inside the book too. About the book: This book is not a fiction or regular storybook. This book is a collection of short stories and that too not a fiction one its about the women who struggled but succeeded in their life and fulfilled their dreams. The book has the total number of seven stories and each story are about fifteen to twenty pages. The story covers the women and her life from different levels and how she fulfilled the dreams. There are pictures of those dream winners by the end of each story and three self reflection was asked to their readers. To know more about the story and these questions please do read the book. My review: The idea of creating these kinds of a book with the picture is very good and inspiring. The narration is really good and in detail. Everyone will struggle with one point and we ne
