Stories of Panchtantra were teachinhgs of a famous teacher, Vishnusharma. He created these interesting stories to teach three young princes of a kingdom. He taught them wise conduct through these simple stories which are loved by children even today.

A translation of a popular Buddhist work on worldly ethics by Tibet's most famous philosopher. Leadership. Power. Responsibility. From Sun Tzu to Plato to Machiavelli, sages east and west have advised kings and rulers on how to lead. Their motivations and techniques have varied, but one thing they all have had in common is that their advice has been as relevant to the millions who have read their works as it has been to the few kings and princes they were, on the surface, addressed to. The nineteenth-century Buddhist monk and luminary Jamgön Mipham’s letter to the king of Dergé, whose small kingdom straddled China and Tibet during a particularly turbulent period, is similar in the universality of its message. This work, however, is unique in that it stresses compassion, impartiality, self-control, and virtue as essential for long-lasting success—whether as a leader or an individual trying to live a meaningful life. Mipham’s historic contribution to ethics and governance, until now little studied outside of Buddhist circles, teaches us the importance of protecting life, fair taxation, environmental sustainability, aiding the poor, and freedom of religion. Both present day leaders and those they lead will find this classic work, finally available in English, profoundly illuminating on political, societal, and personal levels.

Hitha meaning Good and Updesha meaning Advise thus meaning Good Advice, is a collection of fables and were supposed to have been used to teach young generation in the earlier ages. The original tales are in Sanskrit and are attributed to various sources such as Narayana Pandit under the patronage of King Dhavalachandra and first manuscript could be traced to 1373. Abu Fazl, the minister of Emperor Akbar, had also translated the tales. These stories have enchanted young children in India and are an essential part of Indian folk literature. In our efforts to bring classic Indian literature to the world on modern platforms, we are presenting here selected short stories from these tales for children and teenagers.

The word ‘Panchatantra’ is a combination of two words, ‘Pancha’ (five) and ‘Tantra’ (practice/ principle). Panchantantra is ancient Indian fables, believed to have been composed in the 3rd century BC, by Pandit Vishnu Sharma.The purpose behind the composition was to implant moral values and governing skills in the young sons of the king. The Panchatantra is the best guide to enroot moral values in children since its each tale has a moral lesson in its end. The Panchtantra is a great book where plants and animals can speak and converse with human beings too.

The Panchatantra has been translated into 50 different languages in some 200 different versions. In this collection, the authors have tried to show what influence these fables have on our leadership skills. They have highlighted some of the morals embedded in the fables themselves as well as provided modern insights at the end of each story.
