- : Ghatotkacha (No:1597)
- The chivalrous demon

- : 81-8482-199-9
- : He may have looked like a demon, but Ghatotkacha was a guardian angel, always ready to help, always cheerful. The Pandava brother, Bheema, was lucky to have him as a son, for he saved his life more than once and if it were not for this brave young rakshasa, the Kauravas may well have been the victors of the famous battle of Mahabharata.

- : 81-8482-162-X
- : Son of the beautiful goddess Ganga, the giver of life, the lad was born to greatness. Not only was he handsome and wise, he was also equally adept on the battlefield or in a regal court. As this tale reveals, Bheeshma is best remembered for his exceptional honesty and kindness. Who else would have uncomplainingly suffered the trials of kingship without its comforts? Who else would have chosen long years of loneliness just to pander to a father's whim?

- :
- : 81-89999-49-4
- : The world saw him as the son of a lowly charioteer, but Karna had the bearing of a prince. With his skill as a warrior, he could have re-written the tale of the Mahabharata. Fate, however, had other plans. This haunting tale of passion and loyalty presents the other side of the war and a hero as shining as the sun.

- : Prahlad (No:1593)
- A tale of devotion from the bhagawat purana
- :
- : 81-8482-019-4
- : Prahlad drove his monstrous father to a murderous rage. He insisted on praising Lord Vishnu who was considered a sworn enemy by his father Hiranyakashipu. When he tried to punish his disobedient son, Hiranyakashipu's potent poisons turned to nectar while his lethal weapons fell harmlessly away. In this tale of bloodthirsty revenge, Prahlad's only defence is his devotion which dramatically puts an end to all evil.

- The divine beauty

- : 81-89999-36-2
- : Ganga is a great river of India. She rises from the Himalayas, flows through the vast fertile plains of North India and pours into the Eastern seas. Great kingdoms arose on her banks. Ganga is considered sacred and a bath in her waters is supposed to lead to salvation. In the lower reaches Ganga is also called Bhagirathi one brought down by Bhagiratha, an ancestor of Rama. The story of this descent of the Ganga occurs in the Ramayana and Mahabharata. It involves on one hand the war of gods with demons, the demons' refuge in the ocean, the gulping away of the ocean by a great sage. On the other hand, it is related to the horse-sacrifice by Sagara, an ancestor of Rama. The horse vanished into the underworld. Sagara's sons going in search of the horse enraged a sage who turned them to ashes. Sagara's grandson Bhagiratha raised them to life with waters of the Ganga that flowed down to fill the emptied ocean as well.
