When we think of ancient Indian literature, especially mythological literature, the mind often conjures images of gods, demons, miracles, and divine interventions—a universe steeped in mysticism. But to reduce it to just that is to miss its essence entirely. Ancient Indian texts offer profound insights into the human condition.These works are not just repositories of religious thought; they are mirrors to society, chronicling caste, politics, love, grief, dharma, ambition, jealousy, and the burden of choice. They resonate with the very real, very human struggles we still face today.Amrit Kalash seeks to make stories from these texts more accessible to the modern reader. The stories have been fictionalized to make them more engaging, without taking away their originality or the ‘true essence’ of their spirit. The purpose of retelling these immortal stories is to give readers a snapshot of the beautiful world of ancient Indian literature and inspire them to explore further into this unfathomable ocean.
