Chandamama Stories

This fascinating volume contains selected stories of courage, valor, wisdom and moral values. It is since time immemorial that small children have been asking for moon, and their mothers have been amusing them with this celestial object. And one thing goes without saying is that this celestial object is the most lovable of all the objects in the universe. The young mothers relate themselves to moon as his sisters and call it maternal uncle – Chandamama – of their children; and on the other hand Chandamama also does not find children less lovable. He tells them lullabies to lull them to sleep. He amuses the children with the stories of fairies, kings and queens, sorcery, magical power of ogres and ogresses, genie, victory of virtues over vices, beautiful animals and flowers. Chandamama plays hide-and-seek with children and amuses them endlessly. He hides behind the clouds, but is careful enough to put a silver ring around the clouds as a measure of assurances to children that he has not gone away; he is still there. He has as many stories in his stock as the number of twinkling stars in the sky. It is this enormous love for the earthlings that he displays by coming up when the sun has gone to rest. And in order to continue this sweet and beautiful relationship between Chandamama and the sweet little children for ever, this bouquet of beautiful stories in the form of a book is in your hands.
