Incarnations of Lord Vishnu

Incarnations of Lord Vishnu
Author: Divya Jain
Publisher: Unicorn Books

This book on Lord Vishnu aims to satiate young minds. Lord Vishnu, according to Hindu mythology is the God responsible for the sustenance, protection and maintenance of the universe. To uphold moral values and establish righteousness in the society, Lord Vishnu incarnated in different life forms in different ages. Such personifications are believed to be ten in number though there is no known upper limit. With many colourful images and simple words, this little volume has been written keeping the interest and understanding level of children in mind. Children are inquisitive by nature and keep asking questions that often stump adults. One of the examples could be ‘why God incarnated himself time and again?’. Enlightening, educative short narratives that are enjoyable and fun for children as well as grown-ups.
