Description
This special issue presents three titles, which have been brought out in deluxe editions.

Devout Hindus believe that whenever evil is one the ascendant; Vishnu descends on earth to uphold righteousness and destroy evil. 

Vishnu is more a love-inspiring than a fear-inspiring deity. The Tales of Vishnu are adapted from the Bhagawat Purana, which abounds in narratives of Vishnu’s benevolent acts. He is kind and sympathetic but is never influenced by the apparent devotion of evil men. Even when they succeed in wrestling favours from other gods, Vishnu manoeuvres to destroy them without falsifying the boons given to them by the gods. 

The three Tales of Narada in this issue are based on the Shiva Purana and some popular legends. They narrate how Narada, despite being a divine sage, fell prey to temptation at times and became conceited. Fortunately for Narada, Vishnu was by his side to rescue him whenever he succumbed to human weaknesses. Gradually, Narada became free from human failings and attained true equanimity of mind. 

The story of Dhruva is taken from the Bhagawat Purana, while that of Ashtavakra is from the Mahabharata.
