The Upside-Down King: Unusual Tales About Rama and Krishna, Paperback Book, By: Sudha Murty

Did you know there was a time when bears spoke, the moon laughed and babies were found inside fish?

Have you heard of the two-horned sage who had never seen a woman in his life?

Did you know Ravana's half-brother was the god of wealth? Have you ever seen a man with a thousand arms?

The tales in this collection surround the two most popular avatars of Lord Vishnu-Rama and Krishna-and their lineage. Countless stories about the two abound, yet most are simply disappearing from the hearts and minds of the present generation. Bestselling author Sudha Murty takes you on an arresting tour, all the while telling you of the days when demons and gods walked alongside humans, animals could talk and gods granted the most glorious boons to common people.
