The great ancient Indian book of wisdom, revered far from India, is available in both print and video forms on both Amazon and Youtube, among other places on the web. The Panchantra (literally, Five Principles) dates in its written form from around the 3rd century BC, but the tales were undoubtedly told from millenia before.
To the modern reader, the simple tales of animals and humans seem disarmingly naive. Yet the truths they contained were revered, and the wisdom of this book was considered one of India's greatest treasures. One only has to read the Persian Book of Kings to understand the supernatural significance this book was supposed to have.
