Through small stories, the idea is to illustrate the greatness of the Indian culture. Through the stories one can learn the various aspects of the Indian life. We urge people to read the stories carefully, refer to the original Itihāsas and Purāṇas for the complete version of the stories (in Samskṛtam or other Bhāratīya bhāshas) and apply the moral learnt through the stories in their everyday life.You can browse the stories using:
- Direct link to the stories. This is a series of pages having all the stories. (in English)
- Stories in Telugu. This is a page that has links to pdf files having the stories in Telugu.
- List of stories (168). Use this link to view the titles of all stories on this blog. You can choose a story and read it only.
- Categories on the side-bar. Each category represents a moral.
- List of important characters. Using this link we can see all stories related to a particular character.
- Monthly Archives links on the side-bar.

namaskar,
this is a very usefull and enlightening website. it was overwhelming to see such a devoted site to exist. ( but a suggesion:- please recheck the facts of some stories, eg. the part where it is mentioned that arjuna was sent to exile by yudhishtir for 1yr.)( actually it was for 12yrs)
this comment is in no way to show an disregard but with a humble view of contributing to this honest effort.
thankyou
Reply by MoralStories:
Thanks for your comment. But Arjuna goes on Deshaatana for 1 year only. May be you are confusing with 12yrs when all Paandavas do 12yrs of Aranyavaasam and 1 yr of Agnyaatavaasam. This 1yr is separate from those 12yrs and happens before the 13yrs of Arnya and Agnyaata-vaasams of the Paandavas.
This letter on your website talks about the views of a weak man ( lord macualay ), who thinks he can alter the destiny of a nation by teaching them a new culture , a new language , a new way of life. I am working in a call center , and I am proud to be an Indian and love the Indian values and its customs. The very essence of our culture is to absorb everything and still retain its special identity. In no way does learning a new culture makes one look down upon his own , on the contrary, we feel proud that we are increasing our knowledge. The result can be seen in silicon valley, and why go that far look what’s happening all around the world , we Indians are known for our technical expertise and hard work.
Das
India is not a country or a mass of land , it is dharma’s abode. It represents truth and truth alone. And for those ( lord macaulay ) who think that truth can be dominated , may the lord almighty forgive them.
truth can never be dominated!!!!!!
TRUTH AND TRUTH ALONE IS DOMINANT!
Wow what a gem of a blog we have here! Thank you and a 1000 pranams.

This is a good website
Indeed a moral stories store house. A ideal thing to have on the huge and Vast list of stories we Indians have.
abbe it just hit the chord … just luved it!!!
nice collection dude
-sai
I am very impressed with the collection of stories that you have with you. And it is nicely presented too. Rarely do we come across websites that leave a marking impression, and this has definitely etched a long lasting impression.
Also start putting up stories on our independence, that are lesser known.
Keep up the good work.
regards
Shivananda.
Very good site. Lots of useful information. Keep up the good work.
Bush is forever saying that democracies do not invade other countries and start wars. Well, he did just that. He invaded Iraq, started a war, and killed people. What do you think? What is he doing to us, and what is he doing to the world?
Are we safer today than we were before?
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren’t living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.
I heartily appreciate the effort that you have put in creating and maintaining this site. Really it’s encouraging to see that still people love their culture. Hope this blog (if not a site) takes the indian culture to the shores far away.
Surely I’m going to print and distribute the stories to the children around me.
Regards&Thanks,
Mallikarjuna Rao
I am very much impressed with your noble effort. The waves of materialistic western culture are inundating our society and as a result our youger generations are oblivious of our rich culture and valuble traditions. I am sure that this is a commnedable effort to give our children the invaluable pearls and diamonds of our own splendid heritage.
Congratulations for the commendable effort, which I hope would be everlasting.
Sir, Only today I came accross this site. I find a lot of stories imparting morality in life. It will be very useful to every one.
I have a small request. I was going through Sri Krishna Leela Part 12 about the Kuvalaypida. The story about the Elephant’s previous birth is quite interesting and appears new. Can I have this information? I will be grateful if the purana in which this appears is informed to me.
With kind regards,
Srinivasan
Hello, can you tell me what this image means please, i love this very much.

thank you.
Ra’anan
hi can any one tell abt various libraries and address located in india. so that i can explore abt my culture and tradition more.
Hi
This is very good web site and moral stories are too good which encourage us to do our work as per Dharma. Even though it is difficult but we will try our best to do our as per Dharma. To do our work as per Dharma i think God should bless us.
HI
This is answer to the query raised by On May 2, 2007 at 2:58 pm S.Srinivasan regarding Elephant past history in which puranam it belongs.
The answer is (Shri Bhagvat Puran.). You can search in google by typing Gajendra Moksham ). Ganjendra means Elephant and Moksham means no birth.
I am not great Scholar of Sanskrit or any literature . I may be wrong also. Please forgive me if anything i wrongly gave inforamtion. My email is sriniwas@india.com
wonderful …good….best site of this kind…
sinaj……..
Thank you very much for this effort. You have published many stories that even an avid reader of mythology such as me did not know about…many, many thanks!!
Hi
I found a page in this website where there was mentioned about the different yugas and manvantaras and no. of years in each of those yugas/manvantaras. Could anyone provide me with the link to that page of this website.
Thanks a lot

Very nice work
Excellent site. I am really sad that there is no posts on this site for last 2 years. I am looking forward for the day we will start seeing new posts on this site.
Why no updates?
Please continue this blog. We are waiting
Referring to the comments of Shobit Kaushik: To-day even Nepal is not a Hindu kingdom, anymore. the last Hindu king Gyanendra was deposed and thrown out. About other comments about Shri Krishna Bhagavan that the Srimad Bhagavatam as translated in English by Srila Prabhupada swami does contain the stories that you mentioned. You know our country, religion and culture has been attacked by Greeks, Shaka, Huna, Mongols and Britishers and everyone systematically tried to distort and damage it. Even today, Congress chamachas under Italian Christian Sonia said there is no Raam.It will require a Bhagirath effort to clean this Ganga. Late shri Kanaiyalal Munshiji (Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan famed)tried but his efforts were vetoed by Nehru.
Unbelivable work for all indian ‘ plz refer this site to at max what you can do
this is somthing very good & let people come to know abt this

THIS WEBSITE LEADS US ON DHARAM MARG AND THERE IS PLENTY TO LEARN FROM SUCH BEAUTIFUL STORIES. I AM VERY THANKFUL TO ALL THOSE MEMBERS OF THIS WEBSITE WHO HAVE TAKEN SO MUCH PAIN TO GATHER ALL SUCH REAL KNOWLEDGE AND SHARE WITH THE COMMOM MAN.
SHRI KRISHNA JI BLESS THEM AND ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE ON DHARAM MARG AND ALSO THOSE WHO ARE FIGHTING AMONG THEMSELVES BECAUSE OF IGNORANT KNOWLEDGE.
THOUGH I AM NO ONE TO COMMENT ON THIS BUT LOOKING AT THE CURRENT SCENARIO OF OUR BHARAT, SOME FEELING IS THERE…….WHY THIS KALYUGAM PERIOD HAS COME?
JAI RADHEKRISHNA
i need moral short stories
This is a great website. A lot of hard-work and efforts must have gone and are going into making this.
Many Thanks. May GOD bless you!
This is an awsome website.There are many wonderful stories in this.This WEBSITE gives many knoledge to others.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!! may god be with you
This seems to be a good venture to compile the stories from Indian mythology. It would also prove to be helpful for Indian parents to teach their children about the cultural heritage of their motherland…
Most indian stories teach ’sacrifice’.
It is strange to see how almost every story has some lesson on scrificing and letting go…
There are hardly any stories that explain rationality.
I feel very bad when rational actions of choice are termed as ‘balidan’ or sacrifice in all our moral/patiotic stories….
If a freedom fighter gives up his wordly life for nation, it is because he regards a free life as a higher value than wordly life in slavery. Giving up a smaller value for a higher value is not sacrifice, it is rationality.
We should praise our heroes for their courage to choose a higher value of life….their integrity and intellectual clarity….
Please do not call it sacrifice. If a woman gives up her beauty parlour expense to pay for her child’s medicine, thats not sacrifice, thats a rational decision.
It is a great effort. this helps all of us to lead religious path.By help of like these sites we can move our new genertion to religious path.
we are very grateful to the site makers.
thanku so much fo rthis great effort.
Congratulations…I wish there are more such efforts to revive the deep and vast knowledge that is there in our mythology, so that people can learn from them and stop running after the half researched notions of the modern era.
very well said …………
