Reply by MoralStories:
Thanks for your comment. We will post the story as soon as possible.
An excellent site. I liked its unique way of presentation.
The language used in the stories have a fine balance of English and samskritam, making our reading enjoyable.
Its a pleasure to see such a site. May I get in touch with the people who r responsible for maintaining this site?
Its a great way to make people aware of our heritage.
Ananda
Its good to recollect out Hinduism Once again to this type of sites, We wil know the exact good way how to handle our life with worship.
glad to recollect my old days with help of these stories thx. better to insert soem miracles of divine persons.
Excelent Hinduism story collection ,I asked my daughter to read one story a day.Thank you very much.
Well done! I liked the moral stories. Would like to see stories of Chanayakya. Also some stories on Unity/sanghatan.
Very Nice Moral Stories which makes me promise to adhere to the Ethics and Morals each time I read.
An outstanding effort indeed. Although your focus is on highlighting Dharma and Values of Bharat, at a convenient time, you may diversify a little and bring out a series on the cultural and historical lineage of our country. I am always fascinated by the strong Indian influence and presence in entire South East Asia during early periods. You may research and furnish details on “Indianism or Indian roots” in South East Asia. An Oxford publication titled “Oxford Atlas of World History” gives a very detailed account of Indian background of the SE Asian.
Hi
How about including vikram , Bethal stories ?
Thanks,
krishna
Great stories. Thanks for compiling them and giving them life.
Excellence efforts made by you. It is very useful to learn about our own heritage. thanking you. Adalarasan, Rameswaram. Tamilnadu
I BECAME DAILY READER OF THIS SITE.REALLY WE APPRECIATE UR THOUGHT AND EFFORT TO SPREAD OUR HINDU CULTURE AND GREATNESS ALL OVER ALL WORLD.
PLZ TRY TO ADD EVEN OUR GREAT FREEDOM FIGHTERS STORIES TOO
Respected Author,
I fondly remember my childhood, the time when my grandparents would narrate the above stories during bedtime. As I grew up I sometimes wondered how these stories could relate to our present day life. Thanks to your wonderful website, I can now relate morals of those stories and comprehend its value to ours and the future generations.
For the benefit of many, who are unable to find this treasure, I suggest that you please consider to create a google gadget(http://www.google.com/ig/gmchoices?hl=en)
and randomly post one story with its moral everyday. This will increase the visibility of this blog for the benefit of all.
Thanks and Best Regards
Deepak Baindur
very good
very nice chalabagunnadi
Great contribution toword the socity. I hope this site will contribute to regain forgotten usefull stories
thanks for uploading.
there is’t much about meera bai in here….loads of things about her i’m sure people would love to read
Very Good Sites for Learing many things in Life.
What a humongous effort!!!! I admire your work. I see suggestions of other readers to include stories of historical figures and so on. I think such stories have a place apart from this one. Mythology is an integral part of a society’s collective consciousness. So it is important not to lose sight of its significance, so it must be kept exclusive as it is now. Thanks and wishes for your continued service.
Great collection of Stories.. Wow!!!!!
Thanks
Hare Krishna!! Thanks a lot, i just found that i didnt knew many Krishna Leelas until now
Thank you,
Glad to read such interesting and forgotten stories.
Actually I was searching for a story on purandara dasa. It is a story relating how vittala helped him to give his anger. The story goes like this where purudhara dasa hit his disciple who was actually vittala in disguise, for which he was punished for robbing vittala’s braclet. He was tide to a pillar and thrashed.
Can I get the entire content of the story for the above outline.
What about Vikramarka and bethala stories….if u ask anyone about stories first comes into mind is “the adventures of hte great emperer vikramarka..please include them…iam searching for them desperately…

Good work. A must read for the young generation
Respected Author ,
Wow,,, a g8 task of getting this stroies on web,, hope many people read and enjoy it and learn lot of lessons form it,
I m a muslim from india,, after i read many stories i feel as if many are actually based on Holy Quran and saaying of Prophet Muhammed ( May All prevail his religion)
I have many time browse about Prophet Muhammed In Hindu Scriptures,, where i find soo much stuff related to advent of Holy Prophet which is really much more then wat is written in Old & New testments,, and all the other religious books,
I wish that all the hindu Brothers really help each other and establish the peace in india. India is a land for which the Holy prophet said he got cool breeze from india by this i can understand how holy is this land,, and by reading the stories above i really feel Y the holy Prophet siad he feel cool breeze from India.
May Allah always guide those who want to search for light,,
Ameen
Respected Author ,
Its been really good work and i appreciate it.My suggestion is that can you people bring all the stories (from Mshabharatha ,Ramayana ,Panchatantra etc) under one chapter based on the particular moral characters (eg:satyavratha ,dharma ,dhaanam etc ).
Thank u
Namaskar,
this great work really inspire me.what i think is that if we could give the sloka(eg.in vidura neeti) that have been translated then it would act as authority and also easy to remember.
