Ancient India - a land of fairy tales and amazing miracles- gave the world priceless art treasures. Monuments of ancient Indian architecture, sculpture and painting are distinguished by such living power of influence and such original beauty that they cannot be confused with monuments of another country. Originating in times as distant as the culture of Western Asia and Egypt, Indian culture in ancient times followed the same path of development as these countries. But it took shape in slightly different ways natural conditions, which left a special imprint on its formation. Belief in the miraculous power of nature became the basis of all Indian mythology and Indian culture. Indian mythology has provided enormous material for fine arts. Inextricably intertwined with each other, architecture, sculpture and painting have conveyed to our time in earthly and beautiful, and sometimes frightening images of people, animals and demons that legendary-mythological sense of the world, which originated in the depths of Indian fantasy back in ancient times.

M, " Children's literature", 1988

“The children huddled around a gray-bearded storyteller in a snow-white turban. It’s stuffy in the house, but here, in the courtyard, fenced with a blank wall, under the tropical Indian night sky with large stars and bright moon, breathe easier. Grandfather's speech flows smoothly and smoothly. Grandfather tells a fairy tale. At the same time, attention, delight, enthusiasm, and an incomparable feeling of joy from meeting the wonderful were imprinted on the children’s faces,” with these fabulous words begins Volume 3 of the series “Tales of the Peoples of the World” - “Tales of the Peoples of Asia.” The compiler of the volume and the author of the introductory article and notes - Nikulin Nikolay Ivanovich. Indian folk tales included in our audio book are taken from this volume: “Brother Ambe and Brother Rambe”, “The Stupid Crocodile”, “Once Upon a Time There Was a Sparrow”, “The Nightingale and the Cotton Bush”, “About That , as the Sun, Moon and Wind went to dinner", "This is for that", "Good Dhir Singh", " golden fish", "Pepper Seed", "Poor Weaver", "Three Princes", "Who is Afraid of Whom?", "Sant and Basant", "Test of the Mind", "Stupid Brahmin", "Tenali Ramakrishna's Cat", "Pull", “Son of Pandit”, “What did the bear whisper in your ear?”, “Hard of hearing”, “Light from the temple”, “The man who went to seek his destiny”, “Sweets from heaven”, “The rooster and the cat”, “You listen to a fairy tale I don’t mind, but I can’t stand hunger,” “The Hunter and the Crow,” “Ugly Name,” “The Pea and the Bean.” Mostly fairy tales are magical, about animals, and everyday.
Animals in fairy tales talk and understand human speech, they help positive hero. In many Indian tales you will sense a mocking attitude towards monkeys; they apparently reminded the storytellers of fussy and unlucky people. It is not for nothing that in Ancient India they were said to be “changeable, like the thoughts of monkeys.”
We love fairy tales no less. These are fairy tales in which supernatural forces are necessarily at work. All the interest in a fairy tale is focused on the fate of the positive hero.
Later, everyday tales appeared. They do not have supernatural powers, magical objects or animals possessing magical power. IN everyday tales the hero is helped by his own dexterity, ingenuity, as well as the stupidity and slow-wittedness of his opponent. The hero of an Indian fairy tale, the intelligent and resourceful Tenali Ramakrishna, skillfully deceives the tyrant king. In everyday fairy tales there is a hero whom A. M. Gorky aptly called “ironic success”, classic example which may be Ivanushka - the fool from Russian fairy tales. He is stupid, narrow-minded, but luck accompanies him everywhere. In Indian folklore, such a hero is a stupid brahmana - a priest. He pretends that he is learned and smart, that he understands fortune-telling books, but in fact he shakes with fear every time he needs to show his art. But invariably, chance comes to his rescue every time, and the glory of a wise soothsayer is more and more firmly assigned to him. These are certainly funny tales.
The literature of every nation is rooted in oral folk art. The Indian epic poems Mahabharata and Ramayana are closely associated with Indian folklore. The authors of the ancient Indian collections of stories “Panchatantra” (five books of fables and stories) and “Jataka” drew motifs, plots and images of their works from folk tales. IN literary monument The 11th century Indian poet Somadeva's "Ocean of Tales" contains over three hundred inserted stories: a fairy tale is intertwined with a myth, an anecdote, or a short story. Funny motives Indian fairy tales included in the huge collection “Ancient Tales”, which appeared in the 11th century in Japan.
Centuries pass, generations change, but interest in the fairy tale does not dry up. Let the most modern format - audio fairy tales - sound tempting in your home. Listen online, download and enjoy Indian folk tales!

=Panchatantra. Collection of fables and parables of ancient India=

Panchatantra (Sanskrit - “five books”, or according to another interpretation “five tricks”, more precisely - “the science of management called Panchatantra”) is a famous collection of fables and parables that arose in India around the 3rd century. n. e. and through the mediation of the Persians (Pahlavi translation of the 6th century) and Arabs (translation from the Pahlavi Ibn Moqaffa of the 8th century) became the property of world literature.

Like almost all the epic works of ancient India, the Panchatantra is built on the principle of framing in the form of five prose stories (“Separation of Friends”, “Gain of Friends”, “War of Crows and Owls”, “Loss of Gain” and “Reckless Deeds”, the heroes of the first story are jackal-ministers Karataka and Damanaka, after whom the collection in Arabic translation was named); These stories, in turn, are united by an introductory story about the sage Vishnusharman, who wrote the Panchatantra as an instruction for the royal sons, and are the frame for many inserted parables, fables and poetic sayings. In addition to independent versions of the Panchatantra, both in its entirety and in excerpts, is included in a whole series others epic works ancient India: in large poetic collections of tales of Somadeva and Kshemendra, in prose framed collections “Hitopadesha”, “Seventy Tales of a Parrot”, etc.

The content of the Panchatantra is a discussion in narrative form of difficult incidents presented to the ruler; its goal is to teach diplomacy and good Sanskrit to young men of noble families. Thus, Panchatantra is a kind of educational book, a didactic work. But Panchatantra didactics has very little to do with morality. It arose among sectarian city dwellers, equally opposed to both Brahmanism and Buddhism, expressing the interests of this environment and the demands it made on state power. Its goal is to show that moral laws are not absolute, that they recede into the background before the idea of ​​​​the welfare of the state.

It is clear that this is a worldview, this artistic method easily found an echo wherever the prerequisites for the isolation of the “urban class” already existed, where representatives of merchant capital began to feel constrained under the conditions of the feudal system. It is not for nothing that most of the Panchatantra plots were so easily adopted by the urban class of the medieval West and used by them to ridicule monks, priests and knights.
