A collection of stories on the ancient sages of India, including Narada, Valmiki, and Markandeya.

India traces its roots to wise men, rishis, and seers of truth. It is proud to trace its ancestry to the half-clad sages who had nothing in this world and yet ruled the hearts of millions--sages to whom even mighty emperors bowed down and from whom sought counsel. This book presents short lives of thirty-four of these ancient sages and seers. Here is an entertaining glimpse of the early sages and seers as told in the history/mythology of India. Includes a detailed Glossary and Genealogy.
